Temple Of Karnak: The temple of karnak is the largest temple complex in Egypt, built over two millennia between 2200 and 360 BC. Karnak Temple was Egypt’s most important place of worship during the New Kingdom (1550 – 1080 BC). Explore Karnak’s most spectacular sights, the Great Hypostyle Hall. This enormous monument is made up of 134 massive columns. The Temple of Karnak is dedicated to Amun-Re, the chief deity of the Theban Triad.
Luxor Temple: Built by Amenhotep III around 1400 BC. Luxor Temple is well known as the Southern Sanctuary and considered to have held a great significance to the Opet Feast. This annual religious festival involved a procession of the statues of the Gods Amun-Re, his wife Mut, and their son Khonsu. Our Egypt Nile Cruises gives travellers a detailed glimpse of such valuable ancient creations.

With our planned Egypt Tours you will cover The Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut built during 18th dynasty (1490 – 1468 BC) in the new kingdom. by the queen Hatshepsut. She was the most influential female ruler of the kingdom.
Valley of the Kings: The Valley of the Kings is a large burial ground where, for a period of nearly 500 years from the 16th to 11th century BC, rock-cut tombs were excavated for the pharaohs, powerful nobles and Queens of the New Kingdom. The Valley is consists of 63 tombs. The walls were covered with sculptured and painted scenes depicting the dead king in the presence of deities, especially the gods of the underworld, and with illustrated magical texts similar to those found in funerary papyri, designed to help him on his journey through the nether regions.
The Valley tombs are opened to the public on rotation to protect them from the damage caused by the presence of visitors, so access depends on when you visit. If they’re open, our favourites are the tombs of Ramesses VI, Ramesses IX, Ramesses III, Siptah, Thutmose III and Ramesses IV.
Tomb of Tutankhamun: The world-famous tomb of young pharaoh Tutankhamun (KV62) is in fact quite modest comparing to the other tombs on the Valley of the Kings in both size and decoration. The small size of the tomb meant that the approximately 3,500 artefacts that were discovered inside were stacked very tightly. The tomb was discovered intact by Howard Carter in 1922.
Colossi of Memnon: The Colossi of Memnon are two massive stone statues of the Pharaoh Amenhotep III. It consists of two huge statues of Amenhotep III who was an influential ruler during the 18th dynasty.
Along with this we too include Edfu temple and Kom Ombo temple.
