Itinerary

5 Days / 4 Nights from Luxor to Aswan:
Day01 | Welcome to Luxor , East Bank, Luxor temple | Karnak Temple

Witness Luxor Temple:
Largely built by the New Kingdom pharaohs Amenhotep III (1390–1352 BC) and Ramses II (1279–1213 BC), this temple is a strikingly graceful monument in the heart of the modern town. Also known as the Southern Sanctuary, its main function was during the annual Opet celebrations, when the statues of Amun, Mut and Khonsu were brought from Karnak, along the Avenue of Sphinxes, and reunited here during the inundation.
Then proceed to witness Karnak Temple
Karnak is an extraordinary complex of sanctuaries, kiosks, pylons and obelisks dedicated to the Theban triad but also to the greater glory of pharaohs. The site covers more than 2 sq km; it's large enough to contain about 10 cathedrals. At its heart is the Temple of Amun, the earthly 'home' of the local god. Built, added to, dismantled, restored, enlarged and decorated over nearly 1500 years, Karnak was the most important place of worship in Egypt during the New Kingdom.

The two faceless Colossi of Memnon, originally representing Pharaoh Amenhotep III, rising majestically about 18m from the plain, are the first monuments tourists see when they visit the west bank. These magnificent colossi, each cut from a single block of stone and weighing 1000 tonnes, sat at the eastern entrance to the funerary temple of Amenophis III, the largest on the west bank.

Tipping is serious business in Egypt. It is good to give between 5 and 10% tips directly to the waiter in a restaurant. A few Egyptian pounds would be appropriated for a small favor, like carrying luggage or parking a car. If you want to tip your tour guide and vehicle driver is totally optional but should be considered if you're provided with great service. If you decide to tip feel free to give what you think your experience was worth.
