Karnak

First you will see the Karnak Temple - one of the most extraordinary temples in the world,

because after thousands of years it is still in an astonishingly good condition.

With a little imagination, you will find yourself impressed from sacred past of the monument again.

You will have plenty of time to explore the entrance area, where you will find famous ram-headed Sphinx avenue.

Go for a walk to the Hypostyle Hall with 134 amazing giant columns.

Admire the hieroglyphs and paintings, see the sacred lake and throw

a look at the different chapels, temples and statues. And when you want to approach the Holy Scarab near the lake

and surround it three times clockwise - according to legend, the offsprings will (maybe) follow soon!

Valley of the Kings

You can visit minimum 3 graves, where you will find the well-preserved colorful paintings and hieroglyphs on the walls! Its stunning!

Memnon

which were once before his no more existing temple complex, that was even larger than the temple of Karnak.

Hatshepsut

Now we are ready for another highlight - the temple of Queen Hatshepsut. The one of the most fascinating rulers of ancient Egypt was the female pharaoh, who demonstrated her ability to successfully rule an empire even architecturally, with her unusual mortuary temple with colonnades, portico and many statues, paintings and reliefs.
