Your adventure begins early in the morning with hotel or Nile Cruise pickup by a private, air-conditioned vehicle.

Cross to the West Bank, home to Egypt’s most sacred burial grounds, where the greatest pharaohs of the New Kingdom were laid to rest. Step into the legendary Valley of the Kings, where richly decorated tombs reveal stories of ancient beliefs, art, and royal power. Your expert guide will help you understand the significance of each chamber and its breathtaking hieroglyphs, giving you an insider’s view into Egypt’s royal heritage.

Next, visit the magnificent Temple of Queen Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari, one of Egypt’s architectural masterpieces. Built into towering limestone cliffs, this temple honors Egypt’s most powerful female pharaoh. Admire its terraces, colonnades, and reliefs depicting her divine birth and successful reign.

Continue to the imposing Colossi of Memnon, two gigantic stone statues that have stood for more than 3,000 years, guarding what was once the grand mortuary temple of Amenhotep III.

After exploring the West Bank, relax as you cross back to the East Bank of the Nile, where the temples of Luxor’s ancient city await. Enjoy a leisurely lunch at a local restaurant (optional) before continuing your tour.

Begin with the awe-inspiring Karnak Temple Complex, the largest religious structure ever built. Wander through its vast courtyards, giant columns, and sacred lakes as your guide shares fascinating tales of gods, kings, and rituals that took place here over 2,000 years ago. Karnak’s Great Hypostyle Hall, with its 134 towering columns, is one of the most photographed sites in all of Egypt and a true testament to ancient engineering and artistry.

Your final stop is the majestic Luxor Temple, located in the heart of the city. Unlike other temples, this one was dedicated to the rejuvenation of kingship and used for the annual Opet Festival.
