Discover the Valley of the Kings
Start your exploration on Luxor’s West Bank at the world-famous Valley of the Kings, the royal necropolis of the New Kingdom pharaohs. Step into the beautifully decorated tombs of legendary rulers like Ramses II, Tutankhamun, and Thutmose III.
Your guide will explain the meaning of the scenes, gods, and texts adorning the tomb walls—each one a pathway to the pharaoh’s journey in the afterlife.
Visit the Tomb of Seti I – A Hidden Gem of the Valley
Your next stop is a true treasure—the Tomb of Seti I (KV17), one of the most magnificent and best-preserved tombs in the Valley of the Kings. Known for its exceptional size, rich color, and symbolic artwork, this tomb is a stunning masterpiece of ancient Egyptian funerary art.
Admire the elaborate wall carvings, brightly colored scenes from the Book of the Dead, and detailed images of Seti I with gods and guardians of the underworld. The scale and beauty of this tomb make it a highlight for archaeology lovers and history enthusiasts.
Explore the Temple of Hatshepsut
Continue to the elegant Temple of Queen Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari, built by Egypt’s most powerful female pharaoh. The temple is carved into the mountain and consists of terraces, columns, and statues that reflect both strength and symmetry.
Learn how Hatshepsut ruled Egypt as a king, and explore her temple’s beautiful reliefs and spiritual significance.
Photo Stop at the Colossi of Memnon
Before crossing the Nile, stop at the Colossi of Memnon, two colossal statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III that have stood for over 3,400 years. Capture stunning photos of these giant figures, which once guarded a now-lost mortuary temple.
Cross the Nile by Boat
Enjoy a scenic boat ride across the Nile River, offering panoramic views of the lush riverbanks, banana plantations, and local fishermen at work. This short cruise transports you from the ancient tombs of the West Bank to the temple-lined East Bank.
Traditional Egyptian Lunch
