After a restful night, start your second day with a hearty breakfast at your hotel before heading to the West Bank of Luxor for a full day of exploration. Your private guide will take you to the Valley of the Kings, the famous burial ground of many of Egypt’s greatest Pharaohs, including Ramses II and the boy king Tutankhamun. This site, known for its richly decorated tombs, offers a glimpse into the elaborate burial practices of the ancient Egyptians. Among the tombs, you will visit the famous tomb of Tutankhamun, discovered in 1922 and renowned for its gold treasures, including the iconic golden mask that has become a symbol of Egypt’s royal heritage.

Next, you’ll visit the impressive Hatshepsut Temple, one of the best-preserved temples of Ancient Egypt. Built in honor of Queen Hatshepsut, the only female Pharaoh, this temple is carved into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari. The unique design of the temple, with its grand terraces and symmetrical ramps, is an architectural marvel of its time. As you explore the temple, your guide will share stories of Hatshepsut’s reign and how she solidified her position as one of Egypt’s most successful Pharaohs.

Following the temple, you’ll visit the Colossi of Memnon, two massive statues made from quartzite sandstone, which once stood at the entrance of the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III. These colossal figures are some of the most photographed ancient monuments in Egypt, and they stand as silent witnesses to the passage of time and Egypt’s rich history.

For lunch, you’ll enjoy another delicious meal in Luxor, offering more opportunities to savor authentic Egyptian cuisine before continuing your exploration.

In the afternoon, you can explore other fascinating sites in Luxor or choose to relax and reflect on the monumental history you’ve uncovered. Finally, after a full day of discovery, your private driver will take you back to your hotel in El Gouna, bringing your unforgettable two-day journey through the history and wonders of Luxor to a close.
