Our professional tour guide will pick you up from your hotel or Nile Cruise in Luxor, using an air-conditioned vehicle, to embark on an exploration of the West Bank. We'll commence our journey with a visit to the renowned Valley of the Kings, home to 63 majestic tombs. These royal resting places are adorned with intricate Egyptian mythology, offering insight into the beliefs of that era. Among the illustrious monarchs interred here, the most celebrated is undoubtedly King Tutankhamun.
Journey to the magnificent Temple of Queen Hatshepsut (Deir el Bahari), also known as the Foremost of Noble Ladies. Discover the trading routes initiated by Queen Hatshepsut
Step inside the "Place of Beauty," where Egypt’s queens were laid to rest. Marvel at the stunning colors and intricate hieroglyphics that remain vivid after thousands of years. A peaceful and fascinating alternative to the busier sites, offering a deep look into the afterlife beliefs of royal Egypt.
Next, witness the awe-inspiring Colossi of Memnon during a 30-minute stop. These huge twin statues, made from quartzite sandstone, stand as a testament to ancient Egyptian craftsmanship.
Witness the temple in its most magical state as it glows under the evening sky. Avoid the daytime heat and explore the beautifully illuminated pillars and courtyards. This tour offers a unique perspective on the grand obelisks and intricate carvings that have stood the test of time for over 3,000 years.

Our trip to Luxor in April 2026 was truly elevated by the incredible team of Hussain and Ayman. If you are looking for a seamless blend of ancient history and authentic modern culture, I cannot recommend them highly enough. Ayman is a phenomenal guide who possesses a deep, scholarly knowledge of the Valley of the Kings and Egypt. Rather than just reciting dates, he truly brought the pharaohs to life, making their stories relatable and engaging. What made the experience even more special was Ayman’s openness. Beyond the tombs, he shared stories about his own life and the local community, offering us a rare and meaningful insight into modern-day Egyptian life. It felt less like a lecture and more like a conversation with a local friend. Our driver, Hassan, was equally fantastic. He was professional and attentive, ensuring our transport was comfortable throughout the trip. He went well out of his way to help us find specific shops so we could pick up authentic souvenirs, showing a level of kindness and patience that we truly appreciated. Thank you, Ayman and Hassan, for making our visit to the Valley of the Kings the highlight of our trip to Luxor this year!

An amazing day with expert Egyptologist and tour guide - Mohammed Adly - an incredible experience seeing the value of the Kings, the Queens and some amazing temple complexes. We are plenty of time to explore our own leisure, received expert information about each place we visited and the lunch was superb. Our guide extended the day without any issue so that we could pack more in and he was friendly and lots of fun. Thanks for a great day Mohammed!
