Inside the Hypostyle halls alongside monumental pylons celebrating Amun-Ra, the sun god, one can encounter a visual display more magnificent than the sacred temple itself. A twilight masterpiece of colors displays across the world when the moon casts its enchanting shadow over the sun beneath the skyline of the Pharaohs' city.

Embark on a fantastic trip into the Valley of the Kings. Here, the ancient pharaohs lie in lavish sepulchers, as richly embellished as any tomb could be with the brilliant and timeless art of the hieroglyphs. Your Egyptologist guide will be a present-day interpreter of heavenly tales as she tells you of the lives of the dead kings sealed in the arms of the valley.
Next, ascend to the Temple of Hatshepsut, an architectural miracle cut into the cliffs. Feel the warmth of the desert sun as you stand where the "Queen Pharaoh" stood, a trailblazer of wisdom and grace. Let your eyes wander over the almost endless horizons that once bore witness to her rule, now lost in the fading echoes of history.
So, when the sun attains its zenith, find comfort in the shadows of the Colossi of Memnon, silent sentinels of ancient Thebes. Afterward, a treat in a restaurant where you will enjoy authentic Egyptian cuisine before your transfer to Luxor Airport to catch your flight to Cairo.
