What to expect

  1. Valley of the Kings
    2h · Admission ticket included
    Your experienced Egyptologist guide will start your exploration of Luxor's West Bank by picking you up from your hotel or Nile Cruise in an air-conditioned vehicle. Your first destination will be the renowned Valley of the Kings, a site that holds great historical significance. Within the valley, you'll find a total of 63 tombs, each telling a unique story of Egypt's ancient past. The royal tombs in this area are adorned with intricate Egyptian mythology depictions, providing valuable insights into the beliefs of that era.
  2. Temple of Hatshepsut
    1h 15m · Admission ticket included
    Next, you'll continue your journey to the magnificent Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, also known as Deir el-Bahari. Queen Hatshepsut, whose name translates to "Foremost of Noble Ladies," is believed to have played a vital role in establishing the earliest trading routes in Egypt. The temple's impressive architecture and historical importance make it a must-visit site.
  3. Colossi of Memnon
    15m
    Your tour will then take you to the Colossi of Memnon, two colossal statues carved from quartzite sandstone. These statues are believed to have once guarded the entrance to Amenhotep's memorial temple. The Colossi of Memnon offers a fantastic backdrop for photography, and you'll have the opportunity to capture some memorable moments here.
  4. Luxor
    30m
    After this captivating tour, you will be transported back to your hotel or Nile Cruise, leaving you with lasting memories of Luxor's rich history and remarkable archaeological sites.
  5. Tomb of King Tutankhamun (KV62)
    30m · Admission ticket included
    The tomb of Tutankhamun (KV62) was discovered in 1922 by the British archaeologist Howard Carter in the Valley of the Kings near Luxor, Egypt. This was a major archaeological find, as Tutankhamun's tomb was one of the only ancient Egyptian royal tombs found largely intact.

    Tutankhamun was a pharaoh of the 18th dynasty who ruled from around 1332-1323 BC. He ascended the throne as a child and his reign was relatively short, only about 9 years.

    The tomb contained over 5,000 artifacts, including Tutankhamun's sarcophagus and coffins, funerary furniture, chariots, clothing, jewelry, and numerous other treasures. Many of these artifacts are now housed in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo and are major attractions for visitors.

    The tomb was remarkably well-preserved compared to other royal tombs, which had been looted over the centuries. This allowed archaeologists to gain unprecedented insight into ancient Egyptian burial practices and the material culture of the New Kingdom period.
