Odjezd A Scénické Disk

Your journey begins at dawn, when our driver picks you up from your hotel in Makadi Bay or Sahl Hasheesh. As the sun rises over the Eastern Desert, the golden sand gives way to lush fields and the life-giving Nile — your gateway to ancient Thebes.

Valley of the Kings – The Eternal Resting Place of Pharaohs

On arrival, meet your professional Egyptologist guide and explore the legendary Valley of the Kings — the burial ground of Egypt’s greatest rulers. Step inside three beautifully painted tombs, where the colors and hieroglyphs have survived for over 3,000 years.

Temple of Queen Hatshepsut – The Woman Who Ruled as Pharaoh

Next, discover the architectural marvel of Queen Hatshepsut’s temple, nestled dramatically against limestone cliffs. Hear the story of Egypt’s most powerful queen and admire the temple’s perfect symmetry and carved reliefs.

Colossi of Memnon – Guardians of History

Before lunch, pause at the Colossi of Memnon — two colossal statues that once guarded Amenhotep III’s temple. Standing over 18 meters tall, they’ve watched over Luxor’s West Bank for millennia.

Evening in Luxor – Bazaar & Overnight Stay

Enjoy a traditional lunch at a local restaurant before checking in to your hotel. Spend your evening wandering through Luxor’s lively bazaar — a place filled with colorful spices, handcrafted jewelry, and the charm of Egyptian hospitality.

Day 2 – Exploring the East Bank: Temples of the Gods

Breakfast with a View of the Nile

Wake up to the serene view of the Nile River and enjoy breakfast before beginning your second day of exploration.

Karnak Temple – Egypt’s Grandest Sanctuary

Your guide will take you to Karnak Temple, the largest temple complex ever built. Walk through the famous Hypostyle Hall, with its 134 towering columns, and imagine the ceremonies that once echoed through this sacred site.

Luxor Temple – The Jewel of the Nile

End your tour at Luxor Temple, where grand statues of Ramses II stand guard. This temple once hosted royal festivals and remains one of Egypt’s most photogenic landmarks.

After a hearty lunch at a riverside restaurant, relax in comfort as your driver takes you back to your hotel in Makadi Bay or Sahl Hasheesh.
