Luxor by Plane, Valley of kings, Karnak & Memnon -Sharm El Sheikh

Fly from Sharm El Sheikh to Luxor.

Karnak Open Air Museum

This renowned landmark in Luxor highlights the grandeur of ancient Egyptian architecture, with towering statues, massive columns, and what is considered the largest temple complex ever constructed—all located just minutes from the heart of the city. The Karnak Temple was built over the course of more than 1,000 years, a legacy evident in the diverse styles of art and architecture found throughout the site.

Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari

The magnificent Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari stands as one of the most remarkable funerary monuments of the ancient world, rivaling the grandeur of the Pyramids. Built into the dramatic cliffs that face the Valley of the Kings, the temple rises in three grand terraces connected by ramps, each framed by rows of simple, square pillars. Named for one of Egypt’s few female pharaohs, Hatshepsut proudly called it the “Splendor of Splendors.” Although much of the site’s foundation dates back to earlier rulers—beginning with Mentuhotep II around 2050 BC—many of the original sphinxes and statues have disappeared over time, giving the temple a more austere, monumental feel. Inside, the cool stone halls provide relief from the desert heat, adorned with vibrant hieroglyphics and remarkably well-preserved wall reliefs that continue to tell stories from a distant past.
