Meet Your Egyptologist Guide in Luxor
Upon arrival, your private Egyptologist guide will greet you and accompany you throughout the day. With years of experience, they will share stories of gods, kings, myths, and discoveries that make Luxor one of the most significant archaeological cities in the world.
Explore the Valley of the Kings
Begin on Luxor’s West Bank with a visit to the Valley of the Kings, the hidden necropolis of Egypt’s most famous pharaohs. Enter several of the best-preserved tombs, including those of Tutankhamun, Ramses II, and Thutmose III.
Your guide will explain the significance of the detailed wall scenes, sacred texts, and symbolic colors that decorate the tombs.
Visit the Tomb of Seti I – A Rare Marvel
Continue to the Tomb of Seti I (KV17), one of the most magnificent and largest tombs ever discovered in Egypt. This masterpiece of art and engineering is filled with vivid reliefs and ancient texts from the Book of the Dead, Book of Gates, and other sacred funerary inscriptions.
The tomb’s walls, painted over 3,000 years ago, still retain their brilliant colors, offering a powerful and emotional glimpse into the religious beliefs and artistic achievements of the New Kingdom.
This visit is an extraordinary highlight for anyone passionate about archaeology and pharaonic history.
Discover the Temple of Hatshepsut
Next, visit the majestic Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, located at Deir el-Bahari. This terraced masterpiece was built for one of ancient Egypt’s few female pharaohs, and it stands as a unique example of ancient architecture harmoniously built into the cliffside.
Your guide will explain Hatshepsut’s rise to power, her divine birth story, and the meaning behind the temple’s elegant carvings and reliefs.
Stop at the Colossi of Memnon
Before heading to the East Bank, stop for photos at the Colossi of Memnon, two towering statues of Amenhotep III, each 18 meters tall. These ancient guardians once stood at the entrance to a massive mortuary temple and have fascinated visitors for centuries with their mystery and grandeur.
Cross the Nile River
Enjoy a short Nile River crossing by boat, providing a tranquil and scenic experience as you transition from the royal tombs of the West Bank to the sacred temples of the East Bank.
Lunch at a Local Restaurant
Upon arrival on the East Bank, relax with a delicious Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant. Sample authentic dishes such as Koshari, grilled meats, falafel, and more, served fresh and flavored with local herbs and spices.
Visit the Karnak Temple Complex
End your Luxor tour with a guided exploration of the awe-inspiring Karnak Temple, one of the largest temple complexes in the world. Dedicated to Amun-Ra, this massive sanctuary includes monumental pylons, colossal statues, sacred lakes, and the famous Hypostyle Hall, supported by 134 massive sandstone columns.
