After traversing for about four hours, we will reach Luxor, home to the magnificent Temple of Karnak.

If you have selected this option, our visit to the Colossi of Memnon will precede our exploration of the Valley of the Queens, the burial ground for pharaohs’ princesses and wives. Here, we’ll enter three tombs to appreciate the intricate interior designs and understand the significance of funerary practices in ancient Egypt.

We will also visit the burial sites of Thutmose III, Ramesses VI, Ramesses IX, Siptah, and Ramesses IV. This valley is renowned for the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb by Howard Carter. Depending on seasonal availability, we will explore three tombs throughout the Valley of the Kings.
