Your guide will lead you through the Avenue of Sphinxes, which once connected Karnak and Luxor temples. Enjoy an early lunch before you drive across the Nile to the West Bank, to visit the famous Valley of the Kings, where many dynasties of pharaohs were buried in gorgeously decorated tombs. Here, you'll visit three tombs plus the Tomb of the famous King Tutakhamun and take in the atmosphere of the dramatic sandstone gorge.
