Reisroute
Een vertegenwoordiger haalt u op bij uw hotel in Luxor om de Westelijke Jordaanoever van Luxor te ontdekken. Begin uw dag met een bezoek aan de Vallei der Koningen, de pracht van de grandeur van de architectuur die werd gebruikt voor begrafenissen. Er liggen veel koningen begraven in deze vallei. Je bezoekt 3 graven, exclusief het graf van koning Toetanchamon.
Ga verder en geniet van de tempel van koningin Hatsjepsoet, die werd gebouwd door koningin Hatsjepsoet, dochter van Thoetmosis I, die ongeveer twintig jaar over Egypte regeerde 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 Vallei der Koninginnen, ook bekend als Biban el-Harim, is een beroemde archeologische vindplaats gelegen aan de westelijke oever van de rivier de Nijl in Egypte, vlakbij de oude stad Thebe (het huidige Luxor). Het ligt tegenover de Vallei der Koningen, een andere prominente necropolis van het oude Egypte. De Vallei der Koninginnen diende als begraafplaats voor de vrouwen en kinderen van farao's tijdens de periode van het Nieuwe Rijk (ongeveer 1550-1070 v.Chr.). De graven in deze vallei zijn gebouwd voor koninginnen, prinsessen en andere leden van de koninklijke familie. De naam "Vallei der Koninginnen" is een moderne aanduiding, aangezien de oude Egyptenaren het gebied "Ta-Set-Neferu" of "De plaats van schoonheid" noemden.
De dodentempel van Ramses III, ook bekend als de Medinet Habu-tempel, is een oud Egyptisch tempelcomplex gelegen aan de westelijke oever van de rivier de Nijl in de stad Luxor, Egypte. Het werd gebouwd tijdens de periode van het Nieuwe Rijk, met name tijdens het bewind van farao Ramses III, die regeerde van ongeveer 1186 tot 1155 v.Chr. De tempel diende als graftempel gewijd aan Ramses III en was bedoeld om hem na zijn dood te eren en te aanbidden. Het was een plaats van rituelen en offers, maar ook een plek voor de mortuariumcultus van de farao. Het tempelcomplex is vrij groot en beslaat een oppervlakte van ongeveer 24.000 vierkante meter (260.000 vierkante voet).
De Vallei van de Ambachtslieden, ook bekend als Deir el-Medina, is een archeologische vindplaats gelegen aan de westelijke oever van de rivier de Nijl nabij Luxor, Egypte. Het was een oud Egyptisch dorp dat diende als thuis voor de ambachtslieden en arbeiders die de koninklijke graven in de nabijgelegen Vallei der Koningen en de Vallei der Koninginnen bouwden en versierden. Deir el-Medina werd gesticht tijdens de periode van het Nieuwe Rijk en werd bewoond van ongeveer de 15e eeuw voor Christus tot de 11e eeuw voor Christus. Het dorp voorzag in huisvesting, faciliteiten en ondersteuning voor de bekwame ambachtslieden en arbeiders die aan de koninklijke graven werkten. Deze arbeiders waren zeer bekwaam en gespecialiseerd in verschillende ambachten, waaronder houtsnijwerk, schilderen en beeldhouwen.
Kolossen van Memnon zijn een paar massieve stenen beelden gelegen op de westelijke oever van de rivier de Nijl nabij Luxor, Egypte. Ze behoren tot de beroemdste en meest iconische bezienswaardigheden in de omgeving. De Kolossen van Memnon tonen farao Amenhotep III, die regeerde tijdens de 18e dynastie van het oude Egypte. De beelden stonden oorspronkelijk bij de ingang van de dodentempel van Amenhotep III, die sindsdien grotendeels is verwoest. Elk beeld is ongeveer 18 meter hoog en weegt ongeveer 720 ton. Deze beelden zijn gemaakt van kwartsietzandsteen en zijn ingewikkeld gesneden, waarbij ze de farao voorstellen die op een troon zit met zijn handen op zijn knieën. Oorspronkelijk waren de beelden verder versierd met kleurrijke verf, hoewel het meeste ervan in de loop van de tijd is vervaagd.

Because the main attractions in Luxor are quite spread out, planning an efficient itinerary on your own can be a challenge. Thankfully, Egypt Lovely Tours helped us seamlessly navigate the city by tailoring the tour to include everything on my wishlist—from the specific Valley of the Kings tombs, the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, and Karnak Temple, to a fantastic seafood restaurant. We also had the chance to stop by an authentic stone-carving workshop and a souvenir shop boasting a wide selection of high-quality goods. Despite it being a tight one-day trip from Cairo, we enjoyed a wonderfully diverse and fulfilling experience.
"Thank you so much for these wonderful and heartfelt words! We are so pleased that you enjoyed your trip and exploring the great history of Egypt. Abdel Wahab is truly an exceptional guide, always putting the comfort of our guests and his passion for history first. We are delighted that his dedication has left such a positive impression on you. We eagerly look forward to welcoming you back to your second home, Egypt, for another unforgettable adventure!"
The day started very well with a timely pickup directly at our hotel. Our guide provided us with plenty of explanations in addition to making us laugh with really funny jokes. We had a great time with Ammar and his driver (sorry, I forgot his name..). To be done again!

Our Guide’s (Ammar) english was mostly okay, although sometimes we didn’t understand everything he said but he seemed nice. We did most of the itinerary except valley of queens (apparently important tombs were closed) so our guide suggested to skip it. Temple of medinet habu was the highlight of the tour but the tombs that our guide chose for us, and the temple of hapshepsut was also great. There was a lot of tipping especially inside the tombs. Even security guard wanted to tell us things, took photos for us, or take our photos for tips. The security staff who work inside tombs (eg near sarcophagus) let people to seemingly forbidden places or took photos for tips. I suggest preparing a lot of small Egyptian cash currency for tips. Haggling closer to touristic sites was excessive (Sending kids for emotional manipulation). Our guide also took us to an alabaster shop, which was a little overpriced but at least the sellers were nice and negotiated a little. Before the tour ended, they took us to a jewelry store closer to the Luxor. It was much more overpriced, quoting 3 times the government price for gold.
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the Temple of Medinet Habu, the selected tombs, and the Temple of Hatshepsut. We are also pleased that Ammar's friendly personality helped make your day enjoyable. Regarding the Valley of the Queens, some of the most significant tombs can occasionally be closed for restoration or preservation work. In such cases, our guides aim to maximize the value of the tour by recommending alternative sites that offer a better experience for our guests. We appreciate your comments regarding tipping and shopping stops. While tipping is entirely optional, we understand that the local culture around tourist sites can sometimes feel overwhelming for visitors. Your observations are valuable and will help us continue improving the experience we provide. We are grateful for your feedback and are happy that, despite these challenges, you were able to enjoy many of Luxor’s incredible historical treasures. We hope to welcome you again on another adventure with Egypt Lovely Tours.
It was a great experience. We went very early in the morning since we visited in June but the pickup was smooth. Our guide Amaar was super friendly. The admission fees were decently priced although some tombs were extra. The whole experience was about 5-6 hours. Good for people who enjoy history!

Did a full day tour with Ammar as my guide and had a great time. He explained the history of the different places we visited, gave me ample time to wander and explore on my own, never pressuring me to hurry up, and was an overall very friendly guy. The Valley of the Kings was definitely the highlight.

After we booked this with Viator, they kept us in the loop throughout the buildup to our tour. They messaged us to tell us who our guide was, the timings etc. our guide messaged the night prior to double check everything and all was fine. We met Abdulwahab in the morning and he was extremely friendly and welcoming right from the start. Before arriving at our first sight, he gave us a brief history of some of the temples we were going to visit. This helped break the ice during the car journey and gave us some background to be able to better understand later on. Abdel was extremely knowledgeable on what he was talking to us about and I enjoyed learning a lot of the history he had to tell us about. He always made sure we had time to explore on our own at every stop so it never felt invasive or like we were being rushed through, like some group tours may do. He was courteous and answered any questions we had, and even advised on some of the best place to go, Eg which tombs to pick, so we could better manage our time. He always made sure we we were comfortable during our drives and offered to stop at any moment for air, or drinks etc, if we needed. He really did take pride in his work and it reflects in his positive attitude. I think if you get Abdel as your guide, you will have the best tour you could as he really knows his stuff and is such a pleasant person. Highly recommended!

My friend and I booked this full-day Luxor tour and it genuinely exceeded every expectation. Over the course of one remarkable day, we visited the Valley of the Kings, the Valley of the Queens, Hatshepsut Temple, Luxor Temple, and Karnak Temple — an ambitious itinerary that was pulled off seamlessly thanks to two exceptional people. Our driver, Mahmood Salek, was outstanding from start to finish. He navigated a packed schedule with impressive efficiency, getting us to every site safely and on time without a single moment of stress. Beyond logistics, Mahmood added real warmth to the day — sharing his knowledge of the local area and giving us a genuine window into life in Egypt. That personal connection made the experience feel so much richer than a standard tour. Our Egyptologist guide, Alaa Korany, was simply in a class of his own. His depth of knowledge across every single site was extraordinary, and what set him apart was his ability to tailor the experience to our interests and keep up with every question we threw at him. His passion for Egyptology is completely authentic — you can feel it — and it made each monument come alive in a way that no guidebook ever could. We cannot praise him highly enough. We had a little extra time before our flight, and both Mahmood and Alaa went out of their way to make sure we used it well and left with smiles on our faces. That level of care and hospitality speaks volumes. If you're visiting Luxor, do not hesitate to book this tour. Ask for Mahmood and Alaa by name — you won't regret it.
