Luxor (Valley of Kings - Hatshpsut and Karnak Temple)

Embark on a captivating journey with a NASCO Tours representative to visit the Valley of the Kings, also known as the Valley
of the Gates of the Kings. This iconic site served as the royal burial
ground for nearly 500 years during the New Kingdom period, from the Eighteenth
to the Twentieth Dynasties. Carved into the cliffs of a desert wadi on the west
bank of the Nile—directly across from ancient Thebes (modern-day Luxor)—this
sacred valley is the final resting place of pharaohs and powerful nobles. Nestled within the Theban Necropolis, the Valley is home to
some of the most beautifully decorated tombs in Egypt, showcasing intricate
wall paintings and hieroglyphs that have survived thousands of years. Then, a photo stop at the impressive Hatshepsut Temple. Next, Admire the Colossi of Memnon's majesty. Next, the enchanting Karnak Temple awaits, with its Hypostyle Hall, Sacred Lake, and Sphinx-lined Avenue. Your adventure concludes with a return to your hotel, leaving you with memories of Egypt's wonders.
