Explore The West Bank: Valley of Kings, Deir El Bahari Temple, Colossi of Memnon, and the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut

Valley of The Kings - Begin your journey at 3:30 am with a pickup from your Cairo hotel by a representative, who will transfer you to the domestic airport for your flight to Luxor. Upon arrival in Luxor, meet your representative and embark on a full-day tour of the West Bank of the Nile River. Visit the Valley of Kings, Deir El Bahari Temple, Colossi of Memnon, and the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut. Explore the Necropolis of Thebes on the Eastern bank. Cross the Nile and drive to the Valley of Kings to see the tombs of various dynasties and the Temple of Deir El Bahari. On the way back, stop at the Colossi of Memnon, two enormous seated statues of Amenophis III facing the Nile. Conclude with a visit to the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut.

Temple of Karnak - Continue to the East Bank to visit the Karnak and Luxor Temples. Explore the Luxor Temple, its courtyard, and the granite statues of Ramses the Great. Proceed by carriage or bus to Karnak, a series of temples built during different reigns. Begin at the Avenue of Sphinxes and visit the Unfinished Propylon, the Hypostyle Hall with its 134 massive columns, the Obelisks of Queen Hatshepsut and Tutomosis III, the Temple of Amon adorned with lotus and papyrus designs, the Granite Scarab of Amenophis III, and the Sacred Lake.

Later, transfer to a hotel in Luxor for check-in. Dinner is included at the hotel, and you will stay overnight in Luxor. There is an option to visit Luxor Temple at night from 6:00 to 9:00 pm if preferred.

Discover Medinat Habu & Temple of Ramesses III, Karnak

Temple of Medinat Habu - At 7:00 am, a licensed tour guide will pick you up from your hotel, and you will be transferred by a private A/C vehicle to the West Bank of the Nile to visit Medinat Habu. This archaeological site is located near the Theban Hills on the West Bank of the River Nile, opposite modern Luxor, Egypt.

Temple of Ramesses III, Karnak - Although other structures are present, the site is primarily associated with the Mortuary Temple of Ramesses III. The temple, approximately 150 meters long, follows an orthodox design similar to the mortuary temple of Ramesses II (the Ramesseum). It is well-preserved and surrounded by a massive mud-brick enclosure, possibly fortified. The original entrance is through a fortified gatehouse, known as a Mig dol, resembling an Asiatic fortress. The name, at least in its French form, Rhamesséion, was coined by Jean-François Champollion, who visited the ruins in 1829 and first identified the hieroglyphs of Ramesses’s names and titles on the walls. It was originally called the House of Millions of Years of Usermaatra-setepenra that unites with Thebes-the-city in the domain of Amon.

Valley of the Artisans (Deir el-Medina) - Continue your tour to Deir el-Medina, known as the Valley of the Workers. This ancient Egyptian village was home to the artisans who worked on the tombs in the Valley of the Kings during the 18th to 20th dynasties of the New Kingdom period (ca. 1550–1080 BC). The paintings remain remarkably fresh.

Valley of the Queens - Conclude your tour with a visit to the Valley of the Queens, where the wives of Pharaohs were buried in ancient times. Known as Ta-Set-Neferu, meaning “the place of the Children of the Pharaoh,” it was the burial site for the Queens of the 18th, 19th, and 20th dynasties (1550–1070 BCE), along with many princes, princesses, and nobility. The tombs were maintained by mortuary priests who performed daily rituals and provided offerings and prayers for the deceased nobility. The valley is located near the more famous Valley of the Kings, on the west bank of the Nile across from Thebes (modern Luxor). This barren area in the western hills was chosen for its relative isolation and proximity to the capital.
