The huge Unfinished Obelisk at Aswan provides an opportunity to study the various stages of quarrying granite for the production of obelisks. The Aswan obelisk is a piece of work that failed, not through any fault of the workers, but owing to an unexpected fissure in the rock. It must have been shocking to the Egyptians to abandon it after all the time and trouble they had expended, but today we are grateful for their failure, as it teaches us more about their methods than any monument in Egypt.

Day 6: Edfu - Esna - Luxor

Stop At: Temple of Horus, Adfo, Edfu Egypt

The temple is very intact, none of its elements are missing but the Sacred Lake and two obelisks. The Sacred Lake was on the east side of the temple but now vanished under the city’s modern houses. The two obelisks were located in front of the main gate of the temple.
The Temple of Edfu is fully inscribed with reliefs and hieroglyphs on its exterior and interior walls. Let’s take a quick tour of the temple.
Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Temple of Karnak, Karnak, Luxor Egypt
The Temple/Complex of Karnak was the great god’s chief sanctuary and much larger than any other monument in Egypt. It lies about 3km north of Luxor Temple. This huge and splendid complex which actually contains many separate temples covers 1700 years of expansion and an area of 300 acres. Beneath its giant architraves and between the bulky columns and wall reliefs are records of its growth from a modest Middle Kingdom shrine to a magnificent temple of vast proportions. It owes a column to one pharaoh, a pylon to another; an inspiration here, a whim there. But each has the sole purpose of honoring the god Amun-Re, who would then ensure the builder a long, powerful, and glorious life.
Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Luxor Temple, Luxor 23512 Egypt
The Temple of Luxor was built by the 18th Dynasty pharaoh Amenhotep III (1387-1349 BCE), the grandson of the military genius Tuthmosis III, and expanded by the 19th Dynasty pharaoh Ramses II (1279-1213 BCE). Numerous other sovereigns, including Tutankhamun, Horemhab, and Alexander the Great enriched the construction with reliefs, inscriptions, and minor buildings.

Day 7: Luxor - Hurghada

Stop At: Valley of the Kings, Luxor City, Luxor 85511 Egypt
The Valley of the Kings is one of the most important highlights not only in Luxor but throughout Egypt. The Ancient Egyptians named it (Ta-Iset-Ma’at), which means “the Place of Truth”. The Valley of the Kings is the necropolis of the great Egyptian pharaohs of the 18th to the 20th Dynasty (1550-1080 BCE). Tuthmosis I was the first pharaoh who was buried at the Valley of the Kings while Ramses XI was the last pharaoh who was buried there.

The story of the Valley of the Kings begins when the pharaohs ceased building new pyramids. Therefore pharaohs decided to separate their tombs from their mortuary temples. The first pharaoh to do so was Tuthmosis I. His chief architect Ineni excavated a shaft tomb in a lonely ravine, cut a steep stairway into the rock, and at its bottom the burial chamber; this plan was followed by all the later pharaohs.
Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari, Kings Valley Rd Deir el-Bahari, Luxor 23512 Egypt
Through building projects, Hatshepsut assured divine favor and prosperity for her and her people; she proved that she was a responsible ruler securing the best for Egypt. Queen Hatshepsut, more a patron of the arts than a military leader, ordered a funerary monument for her father Tuthmosis I, and for herself and chose an impervious valley already consecrated to the goddess Hathor who, in the form of a heifer, received the deceased in the underworld. Queen Hatshepsut’s monument was in later times abandoned, at a certain point in history it became a Christian convent called the Convent of the North, and this fact not only gave the area its present name of Deir El-Bahari but also preserved the pharaonic temple from further destruction.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

Stop At: Colossi of Memnon, Thebes, Luxor Egypt
In the vast plain that stretches out around western Thebes, between the Nile and the Valley of the Kings, are the remains of the monumental road which led to the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III. The colossi of Memnon are all that remain of what was once the largest mortuary temple on the west bank of Luxor. The temple, unfortunately, has disappeared – probably from a high flood, and further devastated by Ramses II and his son Merenptah, who used the fallen blocks to build their own temples – commonly known by the names of Colossi of Memnon.
