Relax and unwind on a motorboat on the Nile in Luxor. Enjoy the beautiful scenery and views of the city from the boat. Nile trip by motor boat.
Valley of the Kings
Admission included150 min
The Valley of the Kings was a necropolis in ancient Egypt. In ancient Egypt, the Valley of the Kings was called Sechet-aat (the great field).
It is the largest necropolis of the Egyptian pharaohs. The tombs of the rulers of the new empire can be found in the Valley of the Kings. The valley is located in Thebes-West, opposite Karnak on the edge of the desert and is lined with high mountains.
Despite millennia of activity of excavations and looting, the Valley of the Kings still provides Egyptologists with numerous extremely valuable grave finds. In 1922, the tomb of Tutankhamun was discovered largely intact by Howard Carter.
The first clearly identified tomb in the Valley of the Kings comes from the Pharaoh Thutmose I. With Napoleon's expedition to Egypt the systematic search and opening of tombs began. In the Valley of the Kings you will visit three selected tombs.
Colossi of Memnon
Admission included10 min
The Colossi of Memnon are two colossal ancient Egyptian statues from the 14th century BC. You are in the Nile Valley not far from the Valley of the Kings in Thebes-West.
The quartzite statues represent King Amenhotep III sitting on a throne.
The statues are still around 18 meters high, including the base.
Admission included90 min
the mortuary temple of Hatshepsut dates from the 18th dynasty and is the best preserved temple in Thebes on the west bank of the Nile.
The entire temple complex was built from limestone. This temple was built within about 15 years, from the 7th to the 22nd year of Queen Hatshepsut's reign. The temple has its own idiosyncratic architecture.

5 Stars for the german specialised egyptologist!
Simply Amazing Trip. Luxor was truly special, with Mr. Mina the best tour guide (German special). I have seen a few tour guides in my life already, and THIS guy was so caring, heartwarming, and lovely to us. Biro & Hannah, as whatsapp contact person for SUN&FUN, were super friendly and flexible. Mr. Achmed as our driver, made us feel very safe over the whole day, driving us everywhere. A super good experience, absolutely recommend this long day trip!

Trip to Luxor
We had a really great and unforgettable trip to Luxor! The pickup from the hotel by bus was already very well organized. Even though the drive was a bit long, everything was pleasant and relaxed.
In Luxor, we visited various temples, the Valley of the Kings with its impressive tombs, and took a beautiful boat trip on the Nile. The whole day was varied and very well planned.
A special shout-out goes to our tour guide Markus. He took excellent care of us all day, told us a lot about the history and culture of Egypt, and explained everything in an understandable and interesting way. His tips on how to interact with locals and vendors were also especially helpful, so we felt well taken care of and safe at all times.
You can tell that Markus brings a lot of experience and knowledge to the table and that it is important to him that his guests have a wonderful day. Despite the long day, the atmosphere was always pleasant and relaxed.
Many thanks to Markus for this great day in Luxor! We can definitely recommend him and the tour! 🇪🇬☀️

An unforgettable tour to recommend
A very successful and well organized excursion. The program included: happy getting up, 4 h car ride into the sunrise and into the Nile Valley, Karnak temple, Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut temple (Alternative Habu temple), small Nile boat ride, lunch and 4h minibus back. A long but rewarding day.
Our private tour was accompanied by the safe and very friendly drivers Mohamed and Ahmed.
The tour on site was conducted by the German-speaking guide Markus. There was much to learn and all questions were answered patiently. The tickets were already available so you could save yourself a long queue.
We were enthusiastic about the millennia-old well-preserved inscriptions with partly still original color. Oh, hell.
An unforgettable tour to recommend.

Top tour operators for the day trip from El Quseir to Luxor
The trip was great. The tour package was round. The journeys from El Quseir to Luxor (and back) were fast. The food in the restaurant was good and delicious. The Nile trip came at just the right time as a rest element. I was particularly impressed by your guidebook Raafa. Competent, thoughtful and with overview. I felt very well picked up. I can't believe he's never been to Germany. With his outstanding language skills. I can highly recommend the trip to Luxor👍 PS: The tour guide can also photograph...see picture 😉

Private Tour from Marsa Alam to Luxor
We can definitely recommend the trip! Already the booking went very friendly and reliable. Our two drivers picked us up at the hotel on time. Both were very nice and tried to make the long drive (4.5 hours) as pleasant as possible.
In Luxor our guide Nasch has boarded. He adapted the program to our wishes and organized everything great. As an Egyptologist, he has imparted a lot of new knowledge to us in perfect German, very entertainingly. He also included our 3 children (10-14 years) great. The temples and tombs are really very beautiful and impressive. They are definitely worth the effort!
At noon we went to an Egyptian restaurant with a cheerfully colorful motorboat. The food was delicious and the atmosphere relaxed.
Finally, our drivers dropped us off safely at the hotel again. It was a busy but very nice day!

Luxor is as magical as Tony's guide
Beautiful excursion especially thanks to our guide Tony, a person of great culture but also very nice, polite, professional and helpful.
If you are Italian visiting Luxor, ask for Tony... you won't regret it.
