West Bank visit
The West Bank of Luxor is known as the city of dead. It is the funerary complex of the ancient Egyptians. Here you have the opportunity to let go off anything that has died and no longer serves you using the power of the god Anubis, jackal headed god of the underworld. Explore the cycles of birth, death and rebirth which are rooted in Ancient Egyptian mythology.
Valley of the Kings visit
The Valley of the Kings is the final resting place of the Pharoahs of the New Kingdom. It is within a deep wadi overlooked and protected by the pyramid shaped mountain known as the Qurn. Here the Pharoahs were buried in spectacular tombs, following the lengthy mummification process. The walls of the tombs show us their belief in the afterlife, and the procedures and rituals they needed to follow to be able to enter the afterlife and live forever as a god.

Visit of Karnak temples
Karnak Temple is the largest ancient temple complex in Egypt measuring 62 acres. It was in use continuously for 1700 years. The main temple area was dedicated to Amun-Ra, the patron god of Luxor and it has the largest Hypostyle Hall (columned hall) in the world which is unrivalled. Within the complex is the small chapel dedicated to the goddess Sekhmet and the chapel of the Divine Adoratrice which is often known as the Osiris chapel.
