Full‑Day Luxor King VIP 🚌🚐 Itinerary
Hotel Pickup & Van Transfer
You’ll begin the day with pickup from your hotel in a modern air‑conditioned van, ideal for a comfortable journey south or north depending on your start point — often from Hurghada or Aswan. The VIP service ensures minimal stops and efficient transfers.
Valley of the Kings — Pharaohs’ Tombs
Your first major destination is the famed Valley of the Kings, the ancient burial place of Egyptian royalty — including Tutankhamun, Seti I, Ramses II, and other rulers from the New Kingdom period.
This site became a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the Theban Necropolis in 1979 and continues to fascinate archaeologists and travelers alike.
Here you’ll explore:
-
Multiple tomb entrances
-
Elaborate hieroglyphic carvings
-
Royal burial chambers and painted corridors
Karnak Temple Complex — Ancient Religious Center
Next, visit the Karnak Temple Complex, one of the largest religious sites ever built.
This vast temple complex features:
-
Colossal pylons and obelisks
-
The famous Hypostyle Hall with gigantic columns
-
Shrines and sacred lakes used in ancient rituals
Karnak was the epicenter for worship of the god Amun‑Re and expanded continuously over centuries — a testament to the changing pharaonic dynasties.
Luxor Temple — City of Amun
In the afternoon, you’ll visit the Luxor Temple, built to honor the god Amun and associated with royal coronation rituals.
This site on the east bank of the Nile complements the funerary focus of the Valley of the Kings and offers architectural beauty close to the Nile promenades.
