Begin your exceptional 2-day private tour from Sahl Hasheesh with an early morning pick-up from your hotel. Settle into a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle as you embark on a scenic journey through Egypt’s serene desert landscapes. The vast golden dunes and the soft hues of the sunrise create a picturesque backdrop as you travel towards Luxor, the ancient city of Thebes, which served as the glorious capital during Egypt’s New Kingdom.

Upon arrival, your first stop will be the Valley of the Kings, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Egypt’s most famous archaeological sites. This sacred necropolis, nestled in the cliffs of the Theban Mountains, served as the final resting place for some of the most powerful pharaohs in Egyptian history, including Ramses II, Seti I, and the boy king Tutankhamun. As you explore the elaborately decorated tombs, marvel at the vibrant wall paintings and intricate reliefs that depict the pharaohs’ journey into the afterlife, providing a rare insight into ancient Egyptian beliefs and rituals. For an exclusive experience, opt to visit the Tomb of Tutankhamun, where the treasures of the famous king were discovered undisturbed for centuries.

Next, visit the magnificent Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari, an architectural masterpiece built into the base of dramatic limestone cliffs. This three-tiered temple, dedicated to the powerful female pharaoh Hatshepsut, is renowned for its colonnaded terraces, beautifully detailed reliefs, and statues that depict her divine birth and reign. Learn from your guide about Hatshepsut’s remarkable achievements, including her successful trade missions and architectural innovations.

Afterward, take a moment to appreciate the Colossi of Memnon, two massive stone statues of Amenhotep III, which have stood sentinel for over 3,400 years. These monumental statues are famous for the mysterious “singing” sounds they made at dawn in ancient times. After a day of exploration, enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch at a carefully selected local restaurant, where you can savor a variety of delicious dishes such as koshari, falafel, and freshly baked Egyptian bread.

If you’re looking for a moment of relaxation, consider an optional Nile River cruise, where you can float along the world’s longest river, enjoying serene views of the palm-fringed banks and the daily life of Luxor’s residents.

In the evening, check into a luxurious 5-star hotel where you can unwind in your elegant room, take a refreshing swim in the pool, or enjoy the hotel’s world-class amenities. Spend your evening at leisure, perhaps enjoying a fine dinner or a drink in the lounge, preparing for the next day’s adventure.
