Reisroute
De vertegenwoordiger van Terre Des Pharaons haalt u op bij uw hotel in Luxor om de Westelijke oever van Luxor te ontdekken. Begin uw dag met het bezoeken van de Vallei der Koningen, de pracht van de grootsheid van architectuur die werd gebruikt voor de begrafenis, er zijn veel koningen begraven in deze vallei. Je bezoekt 3 graven exclusief de tombe van koning Toetanchamon. Ga verder om te genieten van de tempel van koningin Hatsjepsoet, die werd gebouwd door koningin Hatsjepsoet, dochter van Thutmosis I, die ongeveer 20 jaar regeerde over Egypte tijdens de 18e dynastie (ongeveer van 1490 tot 1469 v.Chr.), De enige faraonische vrouw die het oude Egypte regeerde. Later wordt u teruggebracht naar uw hotel in Luxor.
De Tempel van Hatsjepsoet, ook bekend als Deir el-Bahari, is een oude Egyptische graftempel gelegen aan de westelijke oever van de rivier de Nijl, nabij de stad Luxor. Het werd gebouwd voor koningin Hatsjepsoet, een van de weinige vrouwelijke farao's in het oude Egypte, die regeerde in de 15e eeuw v.Chr. (ongeveer 1479-1458 v.Chr.). De Tempel van Hatsjepsoet wordt beschouwd als een van de meest opmerkelijke architectonische prestaties van het oude Egypte. Het is ontworpen door Senenmut.
De Kolossen van Memnon zijn twee massieve stenen beelden gelegen op de westelijke oever van de rivier de Nijl nabij de stad Luxor in Egypte. Het zijn de enige overblijfselen van een groter dodentempelcomplex gebouwd door farao Amenhotep III in de 14e eeuw voor Christus (ongeveer 1350-1334 voor Christus). De beelden tonen Amenhotep III zittend op zijn troon, en elk beeld is ongeveer 18 meter hoog en weegt ongeveer 700 ton. Ze werden uit afzonderlijke blokken kwartsietzandsteen gesneden en oorspronkelijk bij de ingang van de tempel van de farao geplaatst. De beelden zijn gemaakt om de tempel te bewaken en om de goddelijke macht en autoriteit van de farao te vertegenwoordigen.

Our half-day tour started right at 5:30 AM when Ammar (our guide) and our driver picked us up at our hotel to head to the West Bank. Thanks to the early start, we were the very first people to enter the Valley of the Kings right at 6:00 AM—which was the absolute best way to beat the intense June heat and the crowds. We hit the absolute crowning heavyweights of the West Bank: the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut, and the Colossi of Memnon. Ammar seemed to know every local we encountered along the way, and everyone greeted us with warm smiles. He was fantastic at explaining thousands of years of history without overwhelming us with information. He also did a masterful job of balancing structured time explaining the history with plenty of "free time" for my wife and me to explore the sites on our own terms at each of the sites He was always prompt; available, and prepared. He also graciously took many requested photos of us. In fact, we enjoyed our morning tour so much that we asked Ammar to guide us through Karnak Temple as well. If you are visiting Luxor, I highly recommend booking this private tour!

Our private tour with Abdel was great! He has extensive historical and cultural knowledge, offering good information and taking time to answer all of our questions. He was very personable and welcoming. The length of the tour was just right - not rushed. My husband and I highly recommend Abdel as a guide!

Ahmed, our tour guide, and Alaa, our driver, picked us up from our hotel. They were very punctual and provided some water before we kicked off. The first stop was the Valley of the Kings. Ahmed was very knowledgeable about the area and the various tombs that we visited. We visited the tombs for Rameses IV, Merenptah, Rameses III, Tutankhamun and Rameses V and VI. Ahmed was very helpful when I lost one of my tickets too. The tombs were amazing and the highlight of our Egyptian tour. Next, we stopped by a souvenir store, which has much nicer items than the street sellers. Their prices are much higher than they are willing to take, so be prepared to haggle. The temple for Queen Hatshepsut was next on the agenda. Ahmed able to explain some of the pictures depicted on the walls and it provided great context to what we saw. The temple itself did at the bottom of cliffs, and the feeling it gives you is very different from the photos. The final stop was the Colossi of Memnon. This was really an opportunity for photos, there isn't much left of the ruins besides a few statues. Overall, the half day tour was well worth it. Ahmed provided great commentary and really liked after us. The only dampener was the heat, I would recommend going as early as possible to avoid the heat as much as you can. Thank you Ahmed and Alaa
Dear Guest, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed review of your experience with us. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your West Bank tour and that Ahmed and Alaa helped make your day memorable. Ahmed is passionate about sharing the history of ancient Egypt, and it is wonderful to know that his explanations and assistance throughout the tour enhanced your visit to the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, and the Colossi of Memnon. We also appreciate your kind words about Alaa's punctuality and professionalism. Providing a comfortable and well-organized experience for our guests is always our priority. Thank you as well for sharing your helpful advice regarding the summer heat. Early morning visits are indeed one of the best ways to enjoy Luxor's incredible sites more comfortably. It was truly our pleasure to host you, and we hope to welcome you back to Egypt again in the future for more unforgettable adventures. Warm regards, Egypt Lovely Tours Ahmed & Alaa
Our guide was very friendly and had a lot of knowledge. As a result, he told a lot and the story was not easy to follow. We would have preferred to hear the core and highlights. We showed that too, but that was not taken up. If you are interested in the full history of the pharaohs and how the families work, this tour is a good choice. If you are looking for more of the common thread and interesting facts, choose someone else.
Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your comments and are sorry that the guiding style did not fully match your expectations. Our guide is known for his extensive knowledge of Ancient Egyptian history, and many guests specifically choose our tours because they enjoy detailed explanations and in-depth historical context. We understand that every traveler has different preferences. Some visitors prefer a comprehensive historical experience, while others prefer a shorter overview focused on highlights and key facts. We always encourage guests to communicate their preferred pace and level of detail, and we do our best to adapt whenever possible. We are pleased to hear that you found the guide friendly and knowledgeable, and we will certainly take your comments into account to improve future experiences. Thank you for visiting Luxor with us, and we wish you all the best on your future travels.
I really liked the experience, very professional guides and very friendly, I recommend, congratulations

We had a wonderful experience visiting the Valley of the Kings with our guide Ahmed Abdulteif and our driver Abdo. Ahmed was knowledgeable, friendly and always made sure we were comfortable despite the heat. We especially appreciated the thoughtful gestures of providing us with water and even ice cream during the tour. His kindness and attention to detail made our visit much more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

The visit was made in the company of Ahmed, a very good contact; he explained many things to us and waited for us during the visits, he even took us to a small restaurant. His car is very clean. I highly recommend it +++
