The day begins when you're collected in Aswan & journey to Luxor. Start the tour on West Bank of Luxor. Visit the dramatic Valley of the Kings, home to the rich and magnificent tombs of some of Egypt's greatest rulers, & explore a selection of these gorgeously decorated burial places. Next, drive to the vast Temple of Hatshepsut, the female pharaoh who ruled Egypt around 3,500 years ago, and is often represented with a man's beard. Finish West Bank tour with a visit to the gigantic Colossi of Memnon, huge seated statues of the pharaoh Amenhotep III that adorn the remains of his funerary temple. Take a break for a full lunch at a local restaurant (please note beverages are not included), before exploring the East Bank. Visit the complex of Karnak Temple, with its striking reliefs, and wander through the tall colonnades of Luxor Temple, built by Amenhotep III and completed by Ramses II. Your guide will explain the temples' history. You'll leave Luxor at 5:00 PM and be back in Aswan
