Travel by Plane from Sharm el Sheikh to Luxor

This renowned landmark in Luxor is a masterpiece of ancient architecture, home to towering statues, grand columns, and the largest temple ever constructed, all located just a short distance from the lively heart of the city. The construction of Karnak Temple spanned more than 1,000 years, a process that is evident in the diverse styles of art and architecture that characterize this remarkable Egyptian site.

The magnificent Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari is one of the most awe-inspiring funerary monuments of the ancient world, rivaling the grandeur of the Pyramids. Carved into the steep cliffside opposite the Valley of the Kings, the temple spans three expansive terraces connected by ramps, each level framed by rows of simple, unembellished square columns. Dedicated to one of ancient Egypt's few female pharaohs, Hatshepsut named her monument the "Splendor of Splendors." While much of the temple's construction dates back to earlier rulers, including Mentuhotep II in 2050 BC, many of the sphinxes and statues have disappeared over time, giving the structure a more monolithic feel. Inside, the cool stone provides relief from the harsh desert heat, with well-preserved wall reliefs and vibrant hieroglyphics still visible in brilliant colors.

The Valley of the Kings is a treasure trove of archaeological wonders, housing a vast array of tombs decorated with intricate artwork and hieroglyphics. Discover the tomb of the legendary King Tutankhamun, the valley's most renowned site, before exploring the tombs of Ramses II's sons, Amenhotep III, and others, where you can admire ancient art and artifacts that have withstood the test of time.

Although little remains of Amenhotep III's once-magnificent memorial temple, the two towering statues of the pharaoh that once flanked its entrance still stand proudly after 3,400 years. Visitors can now visit the banks of the Nile, just opposite Luxor, to admire these colossal statues up close. In addition to the impressive twin figures, two smaller statues of the pharaoh’s wife, Tiy, and mother, Mutemwia, are also on display. Sandstone carvings of the Nile god Hapy further reveal the artistic craftsmanship of the era. Though much of the Colossi has been eroded by time and weather, the site still evokes a sense of the awe it once inspired.

Discover the extraordinary skill of ancient Egyptian craftsmen at the Alabaster Factory. Admire the intricate carvings and sculptures crafted from alabaster, a prized translucent stone in ancient Egypt.
