Close to the city on the East Bank of the Nile you will visit the spectacular Temples of Karnak. In ancient times, Karnak was known as Ipet-isut, ‘The most venerated place. Work began on Karnak temple complex in the 16th century BC with construction continuing over the next 2,000 years as each successive pharaoh added to the site’s epic scale.

Lunch meal will be served during Luxor tour.

Luxor West Bank :
Cross the Nile to the West Bank of the city to find the necropolis of ancient Thebes. Because there is so much to see and so much ground to cover, guided tours usually enter 3 tombs at the major archeological sites.
Valley of the Kings:
This is where the pharaoh’s were buried and hoped to meet their Gods in the afterlife. The Valley of the Kings contains many of the tombs of pharaohs from the New Kingdom including Tutankhamun’s tomb discovered in the 1920’s almost untouched is perhaps the best known to most of us non-archaeologist. Most of the tombs are cut into the limestone and follow a pattern of three corridors, an antechamber and a sunken sarcophagus chamber.
Hatshepsut Temple:
The Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut is located beneath the cliffs at Deir el Bahari in the west bank of the Nile near the Valley of the Kings. Designed by the architect Senemut, the mortuary temple is dedicated to the sun god Amon-Ra and is located next to the mortuary temple of Mentuhotep II, which served both as an inspiration, and later, a quarry. It is considered one of the incomparable monuments of ancient time.
Colossi of Memnon

Western gauges view the Egyptian women's clothing standard as traditionalist and are aware of this standard. For males, it's generally fine to wear regular clothing such as pants and shirts or T-shirts; however in Cairo, it is not satisfactory for short short dresses/troop-top sleeveless tops.

National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC) is found in Fustat, the primary Cairo after the Arab Islamic conquest, so it had been a logical choice for the museum site, because the area is found at the crossroads of Egyptian history, and it includes many Coptic churches and monasteries, the Coptic Museum, the Ibn Ezra Temple, and therefore the first mosque in Egypt, the Amr Ibn Al-Aas Mosque. Views of the Citadel of Saladin are also available from the museum's outdoor areas, which emphasize their unique location overlooking Lake Ain El-Sira, Cairo's last natural lake.
