Take a 5-hour ride to Luxor and visit the ruins of 2 temples along the way:

○ Kangbo Temple, built in the Ptolemaic Dynasty (180-47 BC), worshipped both the crocodile god Sobek and the eagle god Horus. Priests used to keep Nile crocodiles in temples. Once the crocodiles died, they would be mummified and replaced by other crocodiles. Now we can see these crocodile mummies in the museum next to the site.

○ The temple of Edev, built in the Ptolemaic dynasty (237-57 BC), is dedicated to Horus, the patron saint of pharaohs. The huge 36-meter-high tower door shows a relief of Ptolemy XII dragging his enemy’s hair to break his skull in front of Horus.

Arrive in Luxor before late afternoon. If your physical fitness allows at night, you can visit Luxor Temple by yourself (tickets are at your own expense).

Then visit Del Medina, which was built in the 18 th Dynasty of the New Kingdom.

Final visit The Valley of the Kings houses the tombs of pharaohs from the new dynasty, including the tomb of Setti I, the father of Ramses II, which is closed to public tourists (with the best preserved murals), and the joint tomb of Ramses V and VI.
