Ancient architecture reaches monumental scale at this iconic Luxor landmark, home to towering statues, massive columns, and the largest place of worship ever built—all just steps from the city's modern streets. The Karnak Temple complex was constructed over more than 1,000 years, a fact reflected in its richly varied art and architectural styles.

The vast Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari stands as one of ancient Egypt’s most impressive funerary monuments, rivaling even the pyramids. Carved into a dramatic cliff face near the Valley of the Kings, the temple rises on three grand terraces linked by ramps, each lined with stark colonnades of square pillars.

Commissioned by Hatshepsut—one of the few female pharaohs—the temple was proudly called the “Splendor of Splendors.” Though much of its foundation dates back to Mentuhotep II around 2050 BC, Hatshepsut’s additions transformed it into a masterpiece. While many sphinxes and statues have vanished, the remaining structure retains a powerful, monolithic presence.

Inside, cool stone chambers offer relief from the desert heat and reveal beautifully preserved reliefs and hieroglyphics, some still vivid with color.

Tucked away in a Y-shaped ravine on the west bank of the Nile, the Valley of the Queens served as the final resting place for the wives and children of pharaohs from the 18th to 20th dynasties. In addition to royal consorts, the valley holds the tombs of princes, princesses, and other noble family members.

The most celebrated tomb here belongs to Queen Nefertari, beloved wife of Ramses II. Often regarded as the most beautiful tomb in Egypt, it features stunning wall paintings, richly colored scenes, and ceilings adorned with golden stars. Though fully restored, the tomb is only occasionally open to the public, making any visit to it a rare and unforgettable privilege.

Little remains of Amenhotep III’s once-grand mortuary temple, but the towering Colossi of Memnon—two massive statues of the pharaoh—still stand proudly after 3,400 years. These iconic sandstone figures once guarded the temple entrance and now overlook the Nile’s west bank, just across from Luxor.

In addition to the colossal statues, visitors can spot smaller carvings of Queen Tiy and Amenhotep’s mother, Mutemwia, along with detailed panels depicting the Nile god Hapy. Though much of the temple has vanished with time, the site still captures the grandeur and mystery of ancient Egypt.

Discover the remarkable craftsmanship of ancient Egyptian artisans at the Alabaster Factory. Explore beautifully carved sculptures and decorative pieces made from alabaster—a translucent, milky stone once treasured by the pharaohs for its elegance and spiritual significance.

Start your return journey to Hurghada, taking in the stunning scenery of the Egyptian countryside along the way. Make a brief stop for a rest before continuing your journey.
