Karnak temple
Karnak The ancient Egyptian name of the temple was Ipet-isu—or “most select of places”—by the ancient Egyptians, over 2,000 years to build the complex of Karnak from the middle kingdom to the Greek-Roman period. It is the largest religious center ever built, about 200 acres (1.5 km by 0.8 km), and was a place of pilgrimage for nearly 2,000 years, dedicated to the Theban triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. The Hypostyle Hall, one of the most interesting things we will visit about 54,000 square feet continue 134 columns, is still the largest room of any religious building in the world. After finishing the tour in Karnak, we will drive to the Temple of Luxor.
Luxor temple
Temple of Luxor The temple was built by Amenhotep III (1390-52 BC) 18th Dynasty and Ramesses II ( BC), 19th Dynasty It was covered by sand until the 1880s, but after restoring the temple, the Pylon measured 24 meters high and 65 meters wide, The scene on the pylon represents the glory of the Ramesses at the battle of Kadesh.
Also, two massive seated statues of Rameses II guard the huge gateway, which is flanked by four standing statues of the king. In front of the temple, thousands of sphinges of human-headed and lion bodies about 3 km) made it between the complex of Karnak and the temple of Luxor. This avenue was built for the ” Opet festival” when Amun and Mut visited the temple of Karnak in a symbolic re-enactment of their marriage. At Luxor temple, Amun has magically transformed into Min, the god of fertility.

Valley of the Kings
Kings Valley In 1979, UNESCO designated the Valley of Kings a part of the World Heritage Site of ancient Thebes, including Luxor, the Valley of the Queens, and the complex of Karnak. The site of royal burials since around 2100 BC, the pharaohs of the New Kingdom (1550–1069 BC) chose this isolated valley to make their tombs. One of the reasons they chose this valley in the west bank of Luxor ” the pyramid-shaped mountain," in the center of the mountain of the west bank, so they will not waste time or spend money to build a pyramid. The Valley of the Kings has 64 tombs—just 24 royal tombs. Then we move on to visit the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut.
Hatshepsut temple
Hatshepsut The Woman Who Was Pharaoh, was the daughter of Thutmosis I. She ruled Egypt for about 23 years during the 18th Dynasty (approximately 1490-1469 B.C.). She built a very beautiful temple on the west bank of Luxor with limestone and dedicated it to the God Amoun-Ra. The temple has three floors, the third floor carved on the mountain as a holly of the hollies of Amoun-Ra. Then we will stop to visit the colossi of Memnon.
