Upon arrival in Luxor, one of the world’s most important open-air museums, you’ll be greeted by a knowledgeable Egyptologist guide who will accompany you throughout the day. Prepare to be immersed in the rich history and extraordinary cultural heritage of this ancient city, once the heart of Egypt during the reign of the pharaohs.

Marvel at the vibrant and intricate hieroglyphs, colorful frescoes, and artistic depictions that adorn the walls, celebrating Nefertari, the beloved queen of Ramses II. This tomb, often referred to as the "Sistine Chapel of Egypt," offers a rare glimpse into the queen’s significance and her place in Egyptian history.
After visiting the Tomb of Nefertari, explore the neighboring Valley of the Kings, the burial site of numerous pharaohs. This valley houses some of the most beautifully decorated tombs, each adorned with intricate carvings and paintings that tell the story of ancient Egyptian beliefs about the afterlife.
