1. After arriving from Hurghada, we will first visit famous Karnak Temple! The Karnak Temple is Egypt's largest temple, and its ruins can still be seen today. The Karnak Temple, which was constructed between 2200 and 360 BC by several pharaohs, includes the great temple of Amun, as well as other smaller temples, chapels, and the great sacred lake. Hatshepsut, Seti I, Ramses II, and Ramses III were the most powerful pharaohs involved in its construction.

2. After the Karnak temple, we will visit the temple of one of the most interesting rulers of Egypt - Queen Hatshepsut! The architect Sennenmut designed the Temple of Hatshepsut, also known as the Temple of Deir el-Bahari. It was founded in honor of Hatshepsut, Egypt's only long-reigning female pharaoh. It was constructed between the seventh and twenty-first years of her reign, with a part excavated in the rock and three terraces on the outside.
