Itinerary
Your expert Egyptologist guide will pick you up from your hotel or Nile Cruise in Luxor in an air-conditioned vehicle to embark on a captivating exploration of the West Bank. The journey begins with a visit to the renowned Valley of the Kings, known for its 63 tombs adorned with intricate Egyptian mythology, reflecting the beliefs of the ancient era. Notably, the valley houses the final resting place of many kings, with King Tutankhamun being the most famous.
Next, the tour proceeds to the magnificent Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, also known as Deir el-Bahari. Queen Hatshepsut, renowned as the "Foremost of Noble Ladies," is believed to have pioneered the establishment of the first trading routes, making this temple an essential historical landmark.
Continuing the journey, you'll visit the Colossi of Memnon, two colossal statues crafted from blocks of quartzite sandstone. These statues were believed to have served as guardians at the entrance of Amenhotep's Memorial Temple. The Colossi provide an excellent backdrop for memorable photographs.
Concluding this remarkable tour, you'll be transferred back to your hotel or Nile Cruise, with the entire experience estimated to last approximately 6 hours.

About Luxor
Luxor stands on the site of ancient Thebes, with vast temples on the Nile's east bank and the royal tombs of the Valley of the Kings across the river.
On the east bank, the Karnak temple complex spreads across acres of pylons, obelisks and the forest of columns in its Great Hypostyle Hall. An avenue of sphinxes links it to Luxor Temple in the town centre, which is especially atmospheric when lit up in the evening. The Luxor Museum and the Mummification Museum sit along the riverside corniche.
