- Our tour guide will pick you up at the hotel gate by bus around 3:00 AM.
- Upon arrival, our first stop will be Karnak Temple. Karnak Temple, the largest ancient religious structure in the world, was built over multiple dynasties by various pharaohs. The vast complex includes three main buildings, smaller temples, and a sacred lake with a wish-granting scarab, making it Egypt's second most popular site after the pyramids. (Enhance your experience in Cairo with a private car and a guide in your chosen language, ensuring a comfortable and immersive journey. This service is available for an additional fee.)
- Next, you will visit Luxor Temple, which is intricately connected to the Karnak temple complex. In ancient times, these two magnificent sites were linked by an alley of 365 sphinxes, an awe-inspiring sight that is gradually being restored today.
- Lunch at the restaurant (drinks are not included in the price).
- Following lunch, you will have the option to embark on a Nile Cruise with a visit to Banana Island for an additional fee (optional). This scenic cruise offers a tranquil view of the Nile and a chance to explore the lush Banana Island.
- Next, you will make a brief 15-minute stop at the Colossi of Memnon, featuring two massive stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III. The statues received the name of Memnon by mistake, as the Greeks saw in them the image of their Trojan hero, Memnon. Despite the misnomer, the name has remained unchanged.
- Your further stop will be the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, a remarkable complex dedicated to one of history's greatest women. Situated at the foot of Deir El-Bahri, this unique temple reflects the extraordinary legacy of the female pharaoh who took the throne from Thutmose III.
- Moving on to Dendera, a small city on the west bank of the Nile and the legendary place where the temple of the Goddess of Love - Hathor is located. The keepers of the hearth came to the temple - the main attraction of Dendera, to ask for help if there were no children in the family, or to find female happiness.
- Conclude your day with a return journey to Marsa Alam, arriving back at your hotel around 3:00 AM.
