The world's greatest open-air museum — Valley of the Kings, Karnak, hot air balloon rides and temples of the gods.
Float over thousand-year-old Luxor temples as the sun rises. See the Valley of the Kings, Valley of the Nobles, and the UNESCO-listed Hatshepsut Temple from the sky. A 50-minute flight with tea & coffee.
Explore 60+ royal tombs including those of Tutankhamun, Ramses II and Seti I. Visit the Valley of the Queens, the unique rock-carved Hatshepsut Temple, and the giant Colossi of Memnon.
Explore the magnificent Luxor Temple on the East Bank, then the colossal Karnak complex — the largest ancient religious complex in the world — connected by the 3km Avenue of Sphinxes.
Experience the Karnak Temple complex after dark, illuminated with dramatic lights and a narrated sound show that brings the history of the Pharaohs and the gods to vivid life.
Visit the Abydos Temple of Seti I — famous for the King List enumerating 76 Pharaohs — and the beautifully preserved Dendera Temple dedicated to Hathor, goddess of love, music and beauty.
Visit the Edfu Temple — dedicated to Horus and the best-preserved temple in Egypt — then the unique double-dedicated Kom Ombo Temple on the banks of the Nile, shared by Sobek the crocodile god and Haroeris.
Explore tombs filled with vivid everyday-life paintings rather than royal scenes, the extraordinary mortuary temple of Ramses III at Medinet Habu, and the village of the artisans who built the royal tombs.
