Itinerary

We take you on a tour to the must see highlights of Luxor. We pick you from your hotel in Luxor and you will be accompanied by our tour guide to visit the first landmark.

Valley of the kings.

The west bank of Luxor had been the site of royal burials since around 2100 BC, but it was the pharaohs of the New Kingdom period (1550–1069 BC) who chose this isolated valley dominated by the pyramid-shaped mountain peak of Al Qurn (The Horn). Once called the Great Necropolis of Millions of Years of Pharaoh, or the Place of Truth, the Valley of the Kings has 63 magnificent royal tombs.

Then visit the temple of Hatshepsut.

At Deir Al Bahri, the eyes first focus on the dramatic rugged limestone cliffs that rise nearly 300m above the desert plain, only to realize that at the foot of all this immense beauty lies a monument even more extraordinary, the dazzling Temple of Hatshepsut. The almost-modern-looking temple blends in beautifully with the cliffs from which it is partly cut – match made in heaven . Most of what you see has been painstakingly reconstructed.

End your tour by visiting the Colossi of Memnon.

The two faceless Colossi of Memnon, originally representing Pharaoh Amenhotep III, rising majestically about 18m from the plain, are the first monuments tourists see when they visit the west bank. These magnificent colossi, each cut from a single block of stone and weighing 1000 tones, sat at the eastern entrance to the funerary temple of Amenophis III, the largest on the west bank. Egyptologists  are currently excavating the temple and their discoveries can be seen behind the colossi.

After finishing this amazing tour, we escort you back to your hotel in Luxor.
