Luxor West Bank Groepsreis: Vallei der Koningen-Hatshepsut Tempel-Memnon Colossi
Beschrijving
Bezoek de oude necropolis in het Thebaanse gebergte op de westelijke oever van Luxor. Een professionele Engelssprekende gids haalt je op bij je hotel en neemt je mee op een groepsreis met vervoer met airconditioning naar de spectaculaire Vallei der Koningen, waar je afdaalt in 3 koninklijke graven. Het volgende is een bezoek aan de uit rotsen gehouwen dodentempel van koningin Hatsjepsoet in Deir El Bahari, waar je wordt gewezen op de mooiste muurschilderingen en tijd hebt om zelf rond te dwalen. Voordat je wordt teruggebracht naar je hotel, maken we een stop voor enkele unieke foto's bij de magnifieke Kolossen van Memnon, twee immense beelden die de lopende opgraving van het paleis van Amenhotep III bewaken.

Reisroute
We bezoeken het uit de rots gehouwen mortuarium Temple of Hatshepsut. Na de dood van haar man Thoetmosis II nam Hatsjepsoet de heerschappij aan als mede-regent met of zelfverklaarde farao in plaats van Thoetmosis III. Hoe dan ook, ze was een bekwame krijger en een sterke heerser die handelsroutes met het buitenland herstelde. Bewijs van haar successen en prestaties zijn geschreven op de muren van haar herdenkingstempel in Deir El-Bahari.
Je bezoekt de oude necropolis van het oude Thebe op de westoever van Luxor. We nemen je mee naar de spectaculaire Vallei der Koningen, waar tot nu toe 63 graven werden gevonden variërend van een éénkamercrypte (KV54) tot een tombe met 120 kamers (KV5). Je zult in staat zijn om 3 tombes te bezoeken met het toegangsticket. De graven van Tutankhamen en Seti I vereisen afzonderlijke kaartjes (niet inbegrepen).
Om de reis af te sluiten, stoppen we aan de voet van de magnifieke Colossi van Memnon, twee immense standbeelden die de voortdurende opgraving van het paleis van Amenophis III bewaken. De beelden zijn feitelijk gelijkenissen met Pharaoh Amenophis III. Memnon was een held van de Trojaanse oorlogen, waarvan wordt gezegd dat het de zoon is van Eos, Goddess of Dawn. Vanwege een aardbeving in 27 v.Chr., Werd één van de standbeelden beschadigd en als gevolg van natuurkrachten werd gezegd dat hij 'bij het ochtendgloren' 'fluitte' of 'zong'.

Was an excellent experience with this agency. Went above and beyond for my family and I. The pricing was very competitive and matched or bettered any other rates you get. The guide was excellent. Very highly knowledgeable on ancient Egypt and his English was exceptionally high. Thank you

Nice guided tour by car from the hotel to the Valley of the Kings, the Valley of the Queen and two statues. We had a guide (Ahmed) who was with us all the way and told a lot and answered questions. We were inside three tomb chambers and Ahmed was very knowledgeable and welcoming. He was also with us out to have lunch at the West Bank after finishing the tour and showed us a cosy local restaurant. As with several other such tours, we were also driven by a place where you are expected to buy souvenirs.
Dear 57elisa, Thank you so much for sharing your positive experience with our guided car tour from the hotel to the Valley of the Kings, Valley of the Queens, and the Colossi of Memnon (the two statues). We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the journey, especially with our guide Ahmed accompanying you throughout, sharing insightful information, answering all your questions, and even joining you for a delightful lunch at a cozy local restaurant on the West Bank after exploring three tomb chambers. It's wonderful to know Ahmed's knowledge and accommodating nature made your day memorable! We appreciate your feedback on the souvenir stop, which is indeed a common feature in many local tours to support artisans and provide an opportunity for unique mementos—though it's always optional, and we're sorry if it felt obligatory. We'll take this into account to ensure future experiences feel even more tailored. We hope to welcome you back for more adventures soon.
Didn’t include all the places agreed upon, driver charged extra for more places even though tour was already very expensive. The ‘alabaster factory’ with only Chinese imports was free but the stuff sold there very expensive, it was too clear driver would get a commission. Wanted to take me to another factory but didn’t want that, afterwards everything had to go very fast and the tour was over after only 6 hours instead of the promised 8 hours, wouldn’t do it again with this company, wouldn’t recommend it to anyone

Had a great experience with Mahmoud (Osni). I was with my elderly mother and he helped explain everything in detail and helped her through our first tour to Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple. I went ahead and booked with him for the full day West Bank tour, the Edfu & Kom Ombo Temple tours, the Aswan City tour, and the Abu Simbel Temples tour. That's 5 tours/5 days. That's how great he was. He helped us through more than half our trip. We had a great experience.

Mr Kemal from Blue Heaven Travel took exceptional care of us. He arranged for currency exchange and a private car to take us to the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut and the legendary tombs. He also arranged for a hot-air balloon above the West Bank to see the magic of Luxor and the River Nile at dawn as well a trip along the River Nile itself to Banana Island. The Egyptians are such wonderful people that they make you feel at home. I can't wait to come back. Thank you Mr Kemal and Blue Heaven!
