Begin your unforgettable 2-day private tour from Makadi Bay to Luxor, with an early morning pick-up from your hotel. Relax in an air-conditioned vehicle and enjoy a scenic drive through Egypt’s vast desert landscapes, where golden dunes meet the soft hues of the morning sun.

Your journey will lead you to Luxor, the ancient city that once stood as the heart of Pharaohs’ Egypt and is now home to many of the country’s most iconic archaeological wonders.

Your first stop is the awe-inspiring Valley of the Kings, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you’ll explore the richly decorated tombs of Egypt’s greatest pharaohs, including Ramses II, Seti I, and Tutankhamun. This sacred necropolis, hidden beneath towering cliffs, is one of Egypt’s most visited and revered archaeological sites. Marvel at the vivid wall paintings, intricate carvings, and well-preserved inscriptions that bring to life the journeys of the pharaohs into the afterlife. For an exclusive experience, opt to visit the world-famous Tomb of Tutankhamun, where treasures once buried with the boy king remain among the most important discoveries of ancient Egypt.

Continue your tour with a visit to the Temple of Hatshepsut, an extraordinary mortuary temple nestled into the dramatic cliffs of Deir el-Bahari. This striking three-tiered structure, built in honor of Egypt’s most famous female pharaoh, showcases the grandeur of Hatshepsut’s reign. Admire the temple’s soaring terraces, detailed reliefs, and statues that depict her divine birth and accomplishments, offering a glimpse into her innovative rule.

Next, make a stop at the Colossi of Memnon, two monumental statues of Amenhotep III that have stood watch over the Valley of the Kings for over 3,400 years. These colossal figures have long fascinated visitors due to their sheer size and the mysterious “singing” sounds they were once believed to make at dawn.

Take a break and enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant, where you can savor delicious dishes like koshari, falafel, and fresh pita bread. Afterward, if you wish to unwind and enjoy the natural beauty of Luxor, opt for an optional Nile River cruise, where you can relax as you glide along the world’s longest river, taking in stunning views of the lush riverbanks and nearby landscapes.

In the late afternoon, check into a luxurious 5-star hotel in Luxor, where you can unwind in a modern, comfortable environment. Enjoy the hotel’s world-class amenities, take a swim in the pool, or relax in your room as you prepare for the second day of exploration.
