What to expect
Valley of the Kings

Your exclusive tour begins with a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle collecting you directly from your Luxor hotel or Nile cruise ship.
Your first destination is the legendary Valley of the Kings, the majestic necropolis on Luxor's West Bank. Here, within the Theban Hills, lie the final resting places of pharaohs from the New Kingdom. You'll have the extraordinary opportunity to explore three significant royal tombs, each telling its own unique story of power, artistry, and the afterlife.
Tomb of King Tutankhamun (KV62)
30m · Admission ticket not included
A highlight of your Valley of the Kings experience will undoubtedly be the Tomb of Tutankhamun. Discovered in 1922. While Tutankhamun's iconic golden mask resides in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, you will be captivated by the sight of the young king's royal mummy within his tomb. Imagine the secrets held within these ancient walls, untouched for millennia.
Temple of Hatshepsut
1h · Admission ticket not included
Continuing your exploration of the West Bank, you'll then be transported to the magnificent Temple of Queen Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari. This striking mortuary temple is a tribute to Hatshepsut, a remarkable woman who defied convention to become one of Egypt's most successful pharaohs. As you wander through its colonnaded courtyards and intricate reliefs, your guide will illuminate the fascinating reign of this ancestor of King Tutankhamun. The temple's unique architectural design, blending seamlessly with the surrounding cliffs, is a sight to behold.
Colossi of Memnon

Finally, your tour will lead you to the imposing Colossi of Memnon. These two colossal stone statues, remnants of the mortuary temple of King Amenhotep III, have stood sentinel on the Theban plains for over 3,400 years. Your guide will share insights into the reign of Amenhotep III, the father of the revolutionary King Akhenaten and grandfather of Tutankhamun, connecting the threads of this remarkable dynasty.
Luxor
