1
Valley of the Kings
Step into the legendary Valley of the Kings, the final resting place of the pharaohs of ancient Thebes (modern-day Luxor). Begin your visit with a brief stop at the visitor center, where your guide will offer an overview of the site’s significance. While guides are not permitted inside the tombs, your expert will explain key symbols, artwork, and historical details to look for within the ornately decorated chambers. For those interested in the tomb of King Tutankhamun, an optional ticket is available for an additional fee.

2
Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari
Marvel at the magnificent Temple of Hatshepsut, a unique monument built into the cliffs of the West Bank. Your guide will introduce you to the extraordinary story of Queen Hatshepsut, one of Egypt’s most remarkable rulers who adopted the image of a male pharaoh. Stroll through the grand courtyards at your own pace and admire the temple’s elegant columns and vivid hieroglyphic engravings that narrate tales of divine lineage and royal power.
1 hour and 30 minutes
3
Colossi of Memnon
Pause for photos at the Colossi of Memnon, two imposing statues that once guarded the grand mortuary temple of Amenhotep III. These ancient stone sentinels rise over 18 meters high and are among the few surviving remnants of a vast and now-vanished temple complex. They remain a powerful symbol of ancient Egyptian grandeur.
30 minutes
4
Temple of Karnak
Explore one of the most expansive religious complexes in the ancient world. Begin at the Avenue of Sphinxes and enter the monumental gateway to uncover the legacy of multiple pharaohs who contributed to its construction. The Great Hypostyle Hall is a breathtaking highlight, with 134 massive columns towering overhead. At the rear of the site, you’ll find the sacred lake once used by priests for ceremonial purification. Your guide will detail the site’s evolution across dynasties, and you’ll have time to explore on your own afterward.

Luxor Temple
Conclude your East Bank tour with a visit to Luxor Temple, beautifully situated along the Nile River. This ancient site was central to religious rituals and the annual Opet Festival. Built primarily during the reign of Amenhotep III and expanded by Ramses II, the temple boasts monumental statues, intricate carvings, and an architectural layout aligned with Karnak. It remains one of Egypt’s most impressive and accessible temples, offering a glimpse into the spiritual life of ancient Thebes.
