Itinerary
Hotel Pickup: I’ll meet you in the morning at your hotel or Nile cruise in Luxor. We’ll begin our journey in a comfortable, air-conditioned private vehicle.
Valley of the Kings: Our first stop is the legendary necropolis where pharaohs such as Ramses and Tutankhamun were laid to rest. You’ll explore three beautifully painted royal tombs and learn how the ancient Egyptians viewed death, the afterlife, and resurrection.
Temple of Hatshepsut: Next, we’ll visit the stunning mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut, Egypt’s most powerful female ruler. Built into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari, it’s one of the finest examples of ancient architecture, with stories of divine birth and royal ambition carved into its walls.
Colossi of Memnon: Finally, we’ll stop at the towering twin statues of Amenhotep III that have watched over the West Bank for over 3,000 years. A perfect photo opportunity and a brief but fascinating look at the legacy of this once-mighty pharaoh.
Return Transfer: After the tour, I’ll take you back to your hotel or cruise ship, enriched with stories and memories of ancient Thebes.

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.
Top-ranked sights in Luxor: Valley of the Kings, Temple of Hatshepsut (at Deir el-Bahari), Colossi of Memnon.
