Your private Egyptologist guide will meet you at your preferred location and accompany you across the Nile to begin your exploration of Luxor's West Bank. Your first stop is the legendary Valley of the Kings, resting place of Egypt’s greatest pharaohs. Here, you'll step inside elaborately decorated tombs belonging to rulers such as Tutankhamun, Ramses VI, and Amenhotep II, each offering a glimpse into the beliefs and artistry of ancient Egypt.

Next, visit the breathtaking Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, one of Egypt’s most remarkable architectural achievements. Built into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari, this mortuary temple honors Egypt’s most successful female pharaoh, who ruled during the 18th Dynasty.

Continue to the towering Colossi of Memnon, two seated statues that once guarded the entrance to the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III. These monumental figures have stood watch over the Theban necropolis for more than 3,000 years.

Enjoy a lunch break at a local restaurant. A full traditional meal is included

Cross back to the East Bank to explore the magnificent Karnak Temple complex—Egypt’s largest temple site. Walk through the awe-inspiring Hypostyle Hall and learn about the religious significance of this vast sanctuary dedicated to the Theban triad: Amun, Mut, and Khonsu.

Conclude your tour at Luxor Temple, a stunning monument to divine kingship, started by Amenhotep III and expanded by Ramses II. Its majestic columns, courtyards, and statues reflect the grandeur of ancient Thebes.
