Start your day early with a convenient pickup from your hotel in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. The drive offers scenic views of Egypt’s landscapes, creating the perfect prelude to the cultural exploration that awaits.

Your first stop is the Temple of Karnak, a sprawling complex and the largest religious site ever built.

Guided by an Egyptologist, learn about its historical significance and the role it played in ancient Egyptian society.

Next, indulge in a delicious Egyptian lunch at a carefully selected local restaurant. Relish traditional flavors while enjoying a brief pause in your adventure.

The tour proceeds to the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, an architectural marvel dedicated to one of Egypt's few female pharaohs. Nestled against dramatic cliffs, this temple speaks volumes of her legacy and ambition.

End your exploration with a visit to the Colossi of Memnon, two massive stone statues standing guard since antiquity. Take in the view and capture your final memories before embarking on your return journey.

Optional experiences include a traditional boat cruise on the Nile or exploring local markets, where you can purchase handmade oils and scarves to commemorate your trip.
