Travel in comfort via an air-conditioned vehicle to explore the magnificent Karnak Temple, the largest temple ever constructed. Stroll through the Avenue of Sphinxes, marvel at the Hypostyle Hall with its 134 colossal columns, observe the Obelisks of Queen Hatshepsut and Tutomosis III, and explore the temple of Amon, adorned with intricate lotus and papyrus designs.
The tour then proceeds to the renowned Valley of the Kings, the original burial site of the boy King Tutankhamun. Here, deep within the desert rock, lie magnificently decorated tombs filled with treasures intended for the afterlife of the Pharaohs. You will have the opportunity to visit three tombs, with the specific tombs subject to rotation by the Egyptian Government to preserve them from excessive visitation.
