What to expect

  1. Valley of the Kings
    2h · Admission ticket included
    Your journey begins at the legendary Valley of the Kings, the ancient burial site of Egypt’s most powerful pharaohs. Nestled in the Theban hills, this UNESCO World Heritage site is home to over 60 tombs, each carved deep into the rock and adorned with intricate hieroglyphs and murals.

    With your private guide, you'll explore several of the most renowned tombs—such as those of Tutankhamun, Ramses VI, and Thutmose III—while learning about their significance, symbolism, and the mummification rituals practiced thousands of years ago. The site's serene desert setting and remarkable preservation make this a truly unforgettable experience.
  2. Temple of Hatshepsut
    2h · Admission ticket included
    Next, visit the stunning Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, also known as El-Deir El-Bahari. This architectural masterpiece was commissioned by Hatshepsut, one of Egypt's few and most successful female pharaohs. Built into the limestone cliffs of Deir el-Bahari, the temple’s terraces, colonnades, and statues reflect both elegance and power.

    As your guide walks you through the temple's chapels and reliefs, you’ll gain insight into Queen Hatshepsut’s reign, her innovative policies, and her legacy as a trailblazer among rulers. The temple's unique structure, harmonizing with the natural landscape, is unlike any other in Egypt.
  3. Colossi of Memnon
    30m
    End your tour with a short stop at the Colossi of Memnon, two monumental statues that once stood at the entrance of the grand mortuary temple of Amenhotep III. Despite centuries of damage, these 18-meter-high statues remain imposing guardians of the past.

    Your guide will share stories about the site's significance and the mystery behind the "singing" phenomenon once reported by ancient visitors. It’s the perfect final photo opportunity before heading back.
