This isn’t your typical sightseeing trip — it’s a private, full-day journey through the soul of ancient Luxor. No buses, no crowds, and no rushed stops. Just you, your personal guide and driver in a private air-conditioned vehicle, and a carefully crafted experience that goes far beyond the surface.
Your day begins on Luxor’s West Bank, home to the Valley of the Kings, where the pharaohs — including the famous Tutankhamun — rest in richly decorated tombs. From there, we head to the dramatic Temple of Hatshepsut, carved into the cliffs, plus an alabaster stop, and then make a peaceful stop at the Colossi of Memnon.
We then cross the Nile to explore the East Bank. You’ll enjoy lunch wherever...

Are you ready to turn your hobbies into a business?
Your journey through time begins with a warm welcome at your hotel, where both your personal Egyptologist guide and professional driver will greet you for a smooth start to the day. Settle into the comfort of our air-conditioned vehicle and get ready to explore the legendary city of Luxor — the world’s greatest open-air museum.
We’ll cross over to Luxor’s West Bank, home to the royal necropolis and some of ancient Egypt’s most remarkable monuments.
Our first destination is the Valley of the Kings, the final resting place of Egypt's most powerful pharaohs. Walk through history as you enter the elaborately decorated tombs carved deep into the mountainside. Standard admission: EGP 750 (includes access to three tombs of your choice).

Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari
We then continue to the awe-inspiring Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, nestled beneath the towering cliffs of Deir el-Bahri. This majestic structure, with its tiered terraces and harmonious design, honors one of Egypt’s most powerful female rulers. Admission ticket (EGP 440) grants access to explore the temple and its impressive reliefs that tell stories of divine birth and trade expeditions.
After the temple, we'll make a brief stop at a local Alabaster workshop — a traditional bazaar where generations of artisans have passed down the ancient techniques of carving and shaping this beautiful stone. You’ll get a fascinating look at how alabaster was crafted in Pharaonic times, using simple tools and skilled hands — just like the ancient Egyptians did.
There’s absolutely no pressure to buy anything here. If something catches your eye, that’s great — and if not, you’re free to simply enjoy the experience and walk away with nothing but a deeper appreciation for this timeless craft.

After soaking up the wonders of the West Bank, we’ll head back across the Nile to the East Bank, where you’ll enjoy lunch at a local restaurant of your choosing. Whether you’re in the mood for a traditional Egyptian meal or something more international, we’ll help you select a spot that suits your taste and budget.
