Overnight Luxor from Cairo by Flight – 2 Days / 1 Night

One of the most visited and well-known archaeological site is the Valley of the Kings which is found in the west bank of Luxor. It was the royal cemetery for the New Kingdom pharaohs of Egypt, including Tutankhamun, Seti I and Ramses II. The valley consists of well-concealed rock-cut tombs with colourful and elaborate wall paintings which has spiritual and sacred connection to ancient Egyptians beliefs of after-life. It is one of the major destinations of Luxor West Bank tours, Egypt historical trips and pharaonic tomb visit.

Luxor Temple is the most stunning of Egypt's ancient monuments. Standing at the center of the modern city of Luxor, on the east bank of the Nile River, unlike many of the more isolated temple complexes situated deep within the desert, Luxor is easily one of the most atmospheric, and accessible, sites in the world.

The Karnak Temple is one of the largest religious complexes to ever be constructed in human history. Located on the east bank of the Nile within the center of Luxor, Karnak is actually not a temple at all but rather a vast holy city developed over more than 2000 years of constant construction, modification and worship. Built mainly to honor the Theban triad of gods in general, and in particular the god Amun-Ra, the Karnak Temple complex has become the most popular and photographed ancient site in all of Egypt.

Tutankhamun Tomb is another highly popular tomb to visit in the Valley of the Kings, on the west bank of Luxor. It is the resting place of the pharaoh Tutankhamun who reigned for a very short period. Discovered in 1922, it is nearly completely intact.

The Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut is a wonder of ancient Egyptian architecture, a truly magnificent addition to any tour of the West Bank of Luxor. Located against imposing limestone cliffs at Deir el-Bahari, this impressive structure appears to erupt from the earth and it is to a breathtaking effect; a stunning marriage between man and nature.
