Luxor by plane from Sharm El Sheikh
Luxor is one of the world’s best well known open air museums. The amount of monuments that have been preserved at the Luxor area is not found anywhere else you may travel. This is a great attraction for all tourists who come to Egypt and should really be a stop because you will be able to explore Egypt’s ancient history all in one place.
A day in Luxor is the perfect amount of time to view all the attractions it has to offer. Take a look at the Valley of Kings, explore the Hatsheput Temple as well as the Luxor Temple, and then have a great time watching the Sound and Light Show at the Karnak Temple.
We will first go to the West Bank which is known as the city of the dead because of the funeral complex of Ancient Egyptians. Then we head to the Valley of the Kings which is a great cemetery of the Pharaohs which is tucked away in the mountains near Gurna. The Valley of the Kings has 63 registered Tombs and at least 3 other tombs that have just been found not too long ago.
After we have explored the Valley of the Kings we will head over to the Hatsheput Temple which is a temple with a unique design as it is the only Egyptian temple that has its terrace formed into the cliff face. Hatsheput was an actual female pharaoh who had a beard just like the males in order to take the throne herself.
Then we will go and look at the Memnon statues. These are the only statues remaining from the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III which will show the pharaoh on his throne.
Next we will go across the Nile river to the East Bank to get lunch at Maro restaurant. Drinks are not included here.
The last stop on this tour is at the Karnak Temples which are the largest ancient temples in Egypt. The Karnak Temple complex is one of Egypt’s most major sites of Ancient Egypt and we will also be touring the Luxor Temple which is better known as the Temple of the Gods.
We will then be returning to the airport to fly back to Sharm where you will arrive in Sharm around 7:00pm depending on the flight schedule and taken back to your hotel.
Please note: You will need a visa in your passport ($25 from Sharm el Sheikh airport). You may also want to grab a breakfast box from the hotel you are staying at.
