Tour Itinerary
Tour Itinerary:
In the Early morning pick up from your Hotelto Experience the unforgettable joy of flying in a Hot Air Balloon. View the Magnificent Tombs and Temples and the surrounding countryside whilst peacefully drifting over the historical monuments. See the scenes of daily Life and feel the atmosphere of ancient times. A hot-air balloon flight is unique from all other experiences of flight as there is no sensation of motion. Traveling at heights of up to 1500 feet, the feeling is one of peace and tranquility. The earth slowly descends and rotates below you. Within moments after lifting off you become at ease while you effortlessly drift over the treetops and the spectacular Luxor landscape. It is like a dream to gently float over the countryside in complete harmony with your surroundings. Then start your Tour by Air-conditioned non-smoking coach or mini-bus accompanied with Egyptologist Tour Guide which will give information about the Ancient Egypt civilization, then you visit the Valley of the Kings, Valley of the Queens, Hatshepsut Temple and Colossi of Memnon. See the burial places of the most famous pharaohs and be amazed by how traces more than 3000 years old can still be discovered. Have a short break for lunch and in the afternoon return to the East Bank of Luxor, visit the amazing Karnak and Luxor Temples! About three kilometers from Temple of Luxor stands the vast monumental area of Karnak, which the Greeks called Hermonthis. The archaeological site includes three divided areas separated by a rough brick boundary. In time, the dimensions of each area / complex changed and the Pharaohs who succeeded to the throne left their mark by extending the temple or adding halls and chapels. The structure of the three holy complexes remains the same, one is dedicated to Amon and is astounding of it dimensions. Luxor Temple, all that remains of its glorious past is the temple that the ancient Egyptians built to the glory of Amon ra, king of the gods, and which they called "Southern harem of Amon". Brought back to light in 1883 by Gaston Maspéro, the temple is 260 meters long and its construction was basically commissioned by two Pharaohs, Amon-Ofis III who started it in the XIV century B.C. and Ramses II who completed it adding the porticoed courtyard with its axis moved eastwards, and no longer north-south as in the case of the rest of the temples. The temple of Luxor was joined to that of karnak by a long stone-paved dromos, a drome and a processional avenue, flanked by sphinxes with ram's heads that the XXX Dynasty replaced with sphinxes with human heads. After finished your tour return to your hotel and that is the end of our services.
