1. Begin your journey as our professional Guide picks you up from your Luxor hotel for a fascinating day ahead. Travel to Abydos, one of Egypt’s most significant yet often overlooked ancient sites. Revered by the ancient Egyptians as the burial place of Osiris, Abydos is a city shrouded in myth and mystery. King Seti I constructed the majestic temple here, later completed by his son, Ramses II. The Temple of Seti I stands as a testament to divine reverence and architectural grandeur, set amid Sohag's desert landscape. Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by the vibrant colors of the temple’s murals, which have defied millennia.

The serenity of Abydos, far from the tourist crowds, offers a deeply personal connection to the ancient world, making it a treasure trove for history lovers and those seeking spiritual insight.

About Luxor

Luxor ligt op de plek van het antieke Thebe, met reusachtige tempels op de oostoever en de koningsgraven van de Vallei der Koningen aan de overkant.

Op de oostoever strekt het tempelcomplex van Karnak zich uit over hectares aan pylonen, obelisken en het zuilenwoud van de Grote Hypostyle Zaal. Een laan van sfinxen verbindt het met de Luxortempel in het centrum van de stad, die vooral sfeervol is wanneer hij 's avonds wordt verlicht. Het Luxormuseum en het Mummificatiemuseum liggen langs de boulevard aan de rivier.

Top-ranked sights in Luxor: Valley of the Kings, Temple of Hatshepsut (at Deir el-Bahari), Colossi of Memnon.
