What to expect

  1. Valley of the Kings
    3h 10m · Admission ticket included
    Step into the heart of ancient Egypt’s royal burial ground at the Valley of the Kings, where over 64 tombs were carved deep into the desert cliffs for the pharaohs of the New Kingdom. Walk through tombs adorned with intricate hieroglyphics and colorful murals that vividly depict the pharaohs’ journey to the afterlife. Your guide will highlight some of the most impressive tombs open to the public, such as those of Ramses IV, Merenptah, or Thutmose III. (Optional: Entry to King Tutankhamun’s tomb is available at an additional charge.
  2. Temple of Hatshepsut
    1h · Admission ticket included
    Marvel at the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, one of Egypt’s most architecturally striking temples. Built into the limestone cliffs at Deir el-Bahari, this multi-level temple honors Egypt’s most successful female pharaoh. Learn about Hatshepsut’s reign, her bold trade expeditions to Punt, and her unique approach to kingship. The temple’s elegant design, terraces, and vivid reliefs make it a must-see.
  3. Colossi of Memnon
    15m
    Pause for photos at the Colossi of Memnon, two massive statues standing nearly 18 meters high. These towering figures once guarded the entrance to the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III, now long vanished. Despite centuries of exposure, they remain iconic symbols of ancient Thebes and provide a fascinating glimpse into the scale of royal architecture.
  4. The Karnak Temple
    2h · Admission ticket included
    Explore the awe-inspiring Temple of Karnak, one of the largest religious sites in the world. This vast complex was built and expanded over 2,000 years by successive pharaohs. Stroll through the towering Hypostyle Hall, with its 134 massive columns, and see highlights like the Sacred Lake, Obelisks of Hatshepsut and Thutmose I, and the Temple of Amun-Ra. Your guide will explain how Karnak served as a major spiritual and political center in ancient Egypt.
  5. Luxor Temple
    1h 30m · Admission ticket included
    End your day with a visit to the elegant Luxor Temple, a beautifully preserved site in the heart of the modern city. Unlike Karnak, Luxor Temple was primarily dedicated to the rejuvenation of kingship. Built by Amenhotep III and expanded by Ramses II, it features imposing statues, detailed carvings, and remnants of its Greco-Roman past, including a chapel built by Alexander the Great. It’s especially stunning in the late afternoon or evening when the lighting brings its carvings to life.
