Temple of Edfu
A Ptolemaic temple built between 237 and 57 BC, renowned for its historical, archaeological and architectural
significance. Built from sandstone, its notable features include the Pylon Gate and an elaborate central sanctuary. It
is widely considered the most complete of all the Nile-side temples between Luxor and Aswan.
Karnak Temple
This vast complex of ruined temples was once the great city of Thebes — a sprawling open-air museum spanning
many eras of ancient Egyptian culture. Karnak is divided into three precincts (Amun, Mut and Montu); the Precinct of
Amun alone dwarfs almost every other site in Egypt.
Luxor Temple
The temple behind Luxor's nickname, “the world's largest outdoor museum.” Built on the site of ancient Thebes, it is
among the best-preserved ancient monuments, with much of its statuary and relief carvings still intact.

Optional hot air balloon ride over Luxor at approximately 4:30 AM.
– Your private Egyptologist guide leads your final tour into Thebes, the sacred land, exploring the West Bank of Luxor.
– Afterwards, transfer to Luxor International Airport or the Luxor Train Station for your onward journey.
Valley of the Kings
Named for the roughly 500-year period during which several Egyptian pharaohs were buried here, this is one of
Egypt's most significant archaeological sites — forever tied to Howard Carter's 1922 discovery of Tutankhamun's
tomb.
