Days 11

Luxor: Valley of the Kings

5* Sheraton Soma Bay, Soma Bay

Bed & Breakfast

After an early breakfast you will be picked up from your hotel in Soma Bay and driven through the desert to Luxor aiming to arrive into the Valley of the Kings before the hottest part of the day. You will be accompanied by an Egyptologist and guided through the fantastic Valley of the Kings. The valley is to the north of Hatshepsut's Deir El-Bahari temple. It was here that kings from 18th to 20th dynasties cut their tombs in the limestone cliffs. That was a long time after their ancestors abandoned the pyramid-shape tomb. The new shape tombs were more secure and deceived the tomb robbers although sadly, almost all tombs were robbed and stripped from their treasures.

There are about 62 tombs scattered on the sides and branches of the valley. After a morning at the Valley of the Kings we will visit the Habu Temple. The chief temple was built by the Queen Hatshepsut and other constructions were added by other rulers.The last site of the day is the mighty Colossi of Memnon originally belonging to King Amenhotep III.

Days 12 - 13

Karnak & Luxor Temples

5* Sheraton Soma Bay, Soma Bay

Bed & Breakfast

After breakfast you will be picked up from your hotel and accompanied again by our Egyptologist. Today we will visit Karnak & the Luxor temples called Ipet-resit, or ‘Private Chambers to the South (of Amun)’. The temple of Luxor, some 260m (850 ft) long, was built by Amenophis III on the foundations of a previous religious structure, dating from the time of Queen Hatshepsut.

The Queen also ordered the construction of six kiosks, at the stopping points of the sacred barque of Amun, along the original Eighteenth-Dynasty dromos, the sacred avenue that connected the temple of Luxor with the temple of Karnak. From the Eighteenth Dynasty on, the effigies of the sacred barges of Amun, Mut and Khonsu were sailed to the temple of Luxor along the course of the Nile. At the Festival of Opet, Amun of Karnak paid a visit to Amun of Luxor, also known as Amun-em-ipet, meaning ‘Amun-Who-Is-In His-Harem’, revitalizing the Amun of Luxor.
 
On your last day in Egypt you will have a chance to relax by the pool in your hotel overlooking the Nile River, or pick up some last-minute souvenirs from the local bazaars.
