Itinerary

Step 1

Our Tour Guide will collect you from your hotel or Nile Cruise in Luxor in an air-conditioned vehicle to begin your exploration of the West Bank. Your first stop will be the renowned Valley of the Kings, home to 63 tombs. These royal tombs are adorned with Egyptian mythology, reflecting the beliefs of that era. While many kings are interred in the valley, the most famous is undoubtedly King Tutankhamun.

Step 2

Next, continue your journey to the magnificent Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, also known as Deir el-Bahari. Queen Hatshepsut, whose name means "Foremost of Noble Ladies," is believed to have established the first trading routes.

Step 3

Proceed to the Colossi of Memnon, where you will encounter two massive twin statues carved from blocks of quartzite sandstone

After lunch

you'll visit Medinet Habu, a temple built by order of King Ramses III to commemorate his legacy after his death.

Following this

you'll visit the remains of the ancient Workmen's Village in Deir el-Medina. This village was home to the artists, craftsmen, and workers who constructed and decorated the royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings.

Step 6

Next, you'll visit the magnificent Valley of the Queens, where the tomb of the Great Queen Nefertari is located. The day concludes with a visit to the Tombs of the Nobles, which include over 400 tombs belonging to nobles. These royal tombs are adorned with cryptic passages from the Book of the Dead, meant to guide them through the afterlife. After these incredible visits, you'll be transferred back to your hotel or Nile Cruise in Luxor.
