Cross back to the East Bank to explore the magnificent Karnak Temple Complex, the largest religious sanctuary ever constructed in the ancient world.

This relaxing midday break offers the perfect opportunity to review your morning discoveries with your private tour guide and prepare for your afternoon adventures on the West Bank.

Cross over to the legendary West Bank of Luxor to explore the world-famous Valley of the Kings, the royal necropolis where New Kingdom pharaohs including Ramesses the Great and Tutankhamun were buried in deeply hidden mountain tombs. Accompanied by your expert Egyptologist guide, descend into three spectacular decorated royal tombs to admire the remarkably preserved vibrant wall paintings, sacred funerary texts, and ancient subterranean architecture. Your guide will explain the fascinating mythology of the afterlife, mummification rituals, and archaeological discoveries in this UNESCO World Heritage site.

Learn about Egypt's most successful female pharaoh and her famous trading expedition to Punt. Afterwards, enjoy a brief photo stop at the towering twin Colossi of Memnon, the massive stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III that have stood guard over the Theban necropolis for over 3,400 years.
