We are pleased to present to your attention a new two-day program for those travelers who want to see the fullness of the ancient Egyptian civilization in the Valleys of the Living and the Dead on a group excursion at a competitive price. The organizers combined two relatively new programs Super Luxor and Dendera (without shops) and New Luxor + Banana Island into one big one and called it - Super new Luxor + Dendera for two days!
A very rich program awaits you, where you will see a fairly large number of attractions, get acquainted with the culture of Egypt, and feel all the uniqueness of ancient architectural energy. In the middle of the program, you will spend the night in a hotel not far from the banks of the Nile, where you can take a walk in the evening and go to local restaurants.
For particularly active tourists, the next morning there is the opportunity to add a hot air balloon flight to the program for $50. This will allow you to see the entire Luxor Valley from a bird's eye view in the morning (description below in Additional Information)!
We have collected all the most important attractions in one excursion:
Karnak and Luxor temples; the mysterious Dendera and the temple of the goddess Hathor, Alley of Sphinxes; Temple of Queen Hatshepsut; Temple of Ramses III - Medinet Habu; Colossi of Memnon; Nikropolis tombs of the nobility, a boat ride on the Nile, and also see how fruits are grown and taste them on Banana Island.
