What to expect

  1. Valley of the Kings
    2h · Admission ticket included
    Step back in time and uncover the secrets of ancient Egypt on an unforgettable journey to Luxor’s legendary West Bank. Accompanied by your expert Egyptologist guide, explore the world-renowned Valley of the Kings, the royal burial place of the pharaohs of the New Kingdom (1550–1080 BC).

    Your entrance ticket includes access to three remarkable tombs, selected from some of the best-preserved royal tombs in the valley, where vibrant wall paintings, sacred texts, and intricate hieroglyphics have survived for more than 3,000 years. Marvel at the extraordinary craftsmanship and learn about the beliefs, rituals, and fascinating stories of Egypt’s ancient rulers.

    Enhance your experience with optional visits to the famous Tomb of Tutankhamun, the spectacular Tomb of Seti I, or the beautifully decorated Tomb of Ramses V & VI (additional ticket required). This immersive tour offers a unique opportunity to discover one of the world’s greatest archaeological treasures of ancient Egypt.
  2. Temple of Hatshepsut
    1h · Admission ticket included
    Continue your journey to the magnificent Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, one of the most remarkable monuments of ancient Egypt. Built for Queen Hatshepsut, the first female pharaoh to rule Egypt for nearly 22 years (1478–1458 BC), this impressive temple is uniquely carved into the limestone cliffs of El Qurna Mountain on Luxor’s West Bank. Admire its elegant terraces, grand colonnades, and beautifully preserved reliefs that tell the story of the queen’s divine birth and her successful trading expedition to the mysterious Land of Punt, believed to have been located along the Red Sea coast, possibly in present-day Somalia. With its stunning architecture, dramatic setting, and fascinating historical significance, Hatshepsut Temple offers an unforgettable glimpse into the power, ambition, and legacy of one of Egypt’s greatest rulers.
  3. Colossi of Memnon
    15m
    Continue your journey with a photo stop at the Colossi of Memnon, two massive stone statues that once stood guard over the mortuary temple of Pharaoh Amenhotep III (1391–1353 BC). Rising approximately 18 meters (60 feet) above the plains of Luxor’s West Bank, these impressive monuments are the last surviving remains of one of ancient Egypt’s largest temple complexes. Admire their remarkable craftsmanship, learn about the fascinating legends associated with the statues, and capture memorable photos of these iconic landmarks that have witnessed over 3,000 years of history.
  4. The Karnak Temple
    1h 30m · Admission ticket included
    Step into the heart of ancient Egypt with a guided visit to Karnak Temple, the largest religious complex ever built in the country. Spanning over 300 acres (125 hectares), this magnificent site was dedicated to the sacred Theban Triad—Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. As you explore its towering columns, grand courtyards, and impressive monuments, discover more than 2,000 years of Egyptian history, from the Middle Kingdom through the Greco-Roman era. Your expert guide will reveal the stories, legends, and achievements of the pharaohs who contributed to this extraordinary temple complex. After the guided tour, enjoy free time to wander through the vast grounds at your own pace, take memorable photos, and admire one of the world's greatest archaeological treasures.
