• Valley of the Kings - Begin the day with a pickup from the Luxor hotel by a knowledgeable Egyptologist guide. Cross the Nile to the West Bank to start exploring the Theban Necropolis. The Valley of the Kings houses the tombs of over 60 New Kingdom pharaohs, including notable rulers like Ramses II, Seti I, and the young king Tutankhamun.

Discover three selected tombs (included in the ticket), and admire the vibrant wall paintings illustrating scenes of the afterlife, sacred rituals, and the journey to eternity. For those wishing to visit the renowned Tomb of Tutankhamun, entry is available for an extra fee. The guide will provide fascinating insights into burial customs, mummification, and the discovery of these remarkable sites.

• Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari - Next, proceed to the striking cliffs of Deir el-Bahari, where the magnificent Temple of Hatshepsut stands in harmony with the surrounding mountains. This exceptional structure was commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut, one of Egypt’s few and most accomplished female pharaohs.

Explore the temple’s three levels, linked by long ramps and adorned with exquisite reliefs depicting Hatshepsut’s divine birth and trading voyages to the land of Punt. Learn about how she depicted herself as a male ruler to legitimize her reign and how her legacy was nearly erased by her successors.

• Colossi of Memnon - On the return to Luxor, stop at the Colossi of Memnon, two enormous stone statues representing Pharaoh Amenhotep III. These statues once guarded the entrance of a grand mortuary temple that has mostly disappeared over time. Standing over 20 meters tall, the Colossi have become iconic symbols of Luxor’s western bank.

As the tour concludes, enjoy insights from the guide into the history, legends, and mysteries of this ancient land. Return to the hotel filled with memories of an extraordinary journey into the heart of Egypt’s golden age.
