Itinerary
Explore the legendary Valley of the Kings, the royal burial ground of Egypt’s New Kingdom pharaohs located on the west bank of the Nile near Luxor. Hidden within the desert mountains, this remarkable archaeological site contains more than 60 tombs carved deep into the rock and decorated with vibrant wall paintings and ancient hieroglyphs that illustrate the journey to the afterlife. The valley is also famous for the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922. Visiting the Valley of the Kings offers a fascinating insight into the power, beliefs, and artistic achievements of ancient Egyptian civilization.
Visit the magnificent Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, one of the most impressive temples in Egypt. Built for the powerful female pharaoh Hatshepsut, this unique temple is located on the west bank of the Nile near Luxor and is famous for its striking terraces carved into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari. The temple showcases beautiful reliefs and inscriptions that tell the story of Hatshepsut’s reign, including her famous trading expedition to the Land of Punt. Surrounded by dramatic desert landscapes, the temple stands as a remarkable example of ancient Egyptian architecture and one of the most iconic historical sites in Luxor.
Visit the impressive Colossi of Memnon, two massive stone statues that have stood on the west bank of the Nile for more than 3,400 years near Luxor. These towering statues represent the powerful pharaoh Amenhotep III and once guarded the entrance to his vast mortuary temple. Rising about 18 meters (60 feet) high, the Colossi of Memnon are among the most photographed landmarks in Luxor. Despite centuries of floods and earthquakes, the statues remain an impressive reminder of the grandeur of ancient Egypt and offer visitors a fascinating glimpse into the country’s rich history and architectural achievements.
Discover the magnificent Karnak Temple Complex, one of the largest and most impressive religious sites ever built in the ancient world. Located in Luxor, this vast temple complex was developed over more than 2,000 years by successive pharaohs. Dedicated mainly to the god Amun, Karnak features towering pylons, massive columns, and beautifully carved reliefs. Visitors can explore the famous Great Hypostyle Hall with its forest of gigantic columns and walk along the sacred avenue once used in ancient religious processions. Karnak Temple stands today as one of Egypt’s most extraordinary archaeological treasures and a symbol of ancient Egyptian power and devotion.

We had an amazing time with our guides, honestly the best city in the Egypt and the way he told us all the stories was just amazing! Length was amazing! Emad and salah, you made our day!
We had a great time visiting Luxor with Mina. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. He explained everything well and made the tour easy for us. I will book again next time.
From start to finish the service that this tour provided was exceptional. We were contacted the day before to confirm timings and our hotel and the night before our driver messaged us to confirm his arrival time too. Omar, our lovely driver, arrived early to collect us but was happy to wait for us. It was a lovely journey to Luxor, he allowed us peace to catch up on some sleep and stopped at a services on the way for food, coffee, and the toilet. On arriving to Luxor, we picked up our lovely guide Angie. Angie was an absolute star! She is incredibly knowledgeable about ancient Egyptian history, having a Masters from Cairo. Her English is superb and we had some brilliant conversations about the different eras and dynasties, and she was always ready to answer our questions. At each site, everything was prepared for us from our tickets to transport, which made everything very stress free. Angie would show us around, give us plenty of information, and then give us some time to explore ourselves, which we greatly appreciated. She was also quick to help with a photo op! There were the usual couple of tourist trap stops, namely a papyrus shop and an alabaster shop, but we never felt forced to purchase anything and Angie was happy to take us on to the next place whenever we wanted. Lunch was absolutely phenomenal. It was lovely to have some time to sit and chat more with Angie, and again she left us to eat our lunch in private. This consisted of a selection of traditional Egyptian food and was incredibly fresh and very tasty. Overall, the whole day was absolutely wonderful. I would recommend this tour to anyone thinking of booking and I hope you are lucky enough to have Angie show you the wonderful history that Luxor has to offer.
Absolutely wonderful tour, would highly recommend. Mahmoud & Omar, our drivers were fantastic. Really friendly and looked after us with snacks, drinks and music! Our guide Sayed Gamal was excellent. Very knowledgeable, kind and patient with our 4, 6 and 15 year old children as it was very hot! Do not hesitate to book as everything was taken care of and we had a memorable trip in beautiful parts of Luxor. Thank you ❤️

It was very nice to know the historical explanation. It was a pleasant sightseeing experience even in the hot weather, with smooth travel. It was a good break for the souvenir shop as they also gave us a clean toilet and drinks. The lunch included in the tour was reasonably delicious with a choice of chicken, beef and kofta. The only downside is the high cost of additional drinks. I think that probably covers the cost of cooking to some extent. It was not much different from dinner at a local restaurant the day before.
