You can choose an 8 day trip as outlined below, or 15 days which includes both Luxor & Dhakla Oasis & optional tours to Aswan or Abydos & Dendera

Your tour guides are myself, Caroline Dekker & my good friend Iris Meijer,from Hidden egypt. We both have unique skills to offer our guests and so we compliment each other in our work here in Egypt.

During our trip to Luxor we will visit Karnack Temple The earthly home of Amun Ra; this is also a very powerful place energetically to visit the chapel of the Goddess Sekhmet and her seven doors, Luxor temple that celebrated the regeneration of Egypt and the king’s re- birth every year with the Opet festival. Crossing the River Nile to the West bank we will visit The Valley of the Kings, and still the burial place of Tutankhamen. The Mortuary temple of Hatshepsut Maatkaare an amazing woman pharaoh who sent the first expedition to the land of Punt and creating peace and trade for her country, Medinet Habu the mortuary temple of Ramses 111 who fought off the invasion of the sea people, also here you can see the mortuary chapel of the Gods wife of Amun, after the rule of Ramses 111 Egypt became weak and was divided once more into two kingdoms, with a King at the Delta and another from Nubia, and so each king instilled his daughter as the Gods Wife of Amun to rule Waset (Luxor) which was the middle Ground in Egypt
Our journey will then take us away from the usual tourist sites to visit into the small rural villages, here you will see the real Egypt, how people really live and go about their daily lives. The small town of Garagos was helped by two French Monks who created at its heart a thriving pottery industry to help the villagers.
Close to Garagos we can then visit the Montu Temple at Medamud which was once linked to the Temple of Montu at Karnack by a canal. Leaving here we will then travel south of Luxor to visit El Kab that is perhaps most famous for its beautiful Tombs, this was also the site of temples to Thoth and Nekhbet. This region was sacred to the goddess Nekhbet, "She of Nekhen", who was the Goddess of Upper Egypt. This whole Area is called Hieraconpolis and there are remains of all periods, from Pre-dynastic to Ptolemaic.
We will visit Assasif and Roy & Shuroy tombs

IF you would like to continue on your journey with us to make this trip a really unforgettable one, we will continue to the Dhakla Oases with its natural and healing resources to bathe in the natural healing springs.
