Begin your historical journey with an early morning pickup from your hotel in Sahl Hasheesh around 6:30 AM. Ride in a comfortable private air-conditioned vehicle, ideal for couples, families, or small groups, as you head through the desert landscape towards Luxor.

Once you arrive in Luxor, your personal Egyptologist guide will meet you and accompany you throughout the tour. With deep knowledge and passion for Egypt’s heritage, your guide will reveal the incredible stories, legends, and secrets of the pharaohs and ancient gods.
Start your adventure in the renowned Valley of the Kings, where many New Kingdom pharaohs were buried. Walk through the royal tombs of Ramses II, Thutmose III, and Tutankhamun, and marvel at the vibrant artwork and detailed inscriptions that describe their journey to the afterlife.
Your Luxor tour includes exclusive access to the Tomb of Seti I (KV17)—one of the largest and most elaborately decorated tombs ever discovered. This sacred resting place of the great 19th Dynasty pharaoh features incredibly preserved wall paintings, hieroglyphs, and scenes from the Book of the Dead and other religious texts.
Admire the tomb’s stunning craftsmanship, colorful frescoes, and vast corridors as your guide explains the spiritual significance of each scene. Considered one of the most important tombs in Egypt, Seti I’s burial chamber is a must-see highlight for archaeology lovers and history enthusiasts.
Next, journey to the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, beautifully located beneath the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari. This impressive structure, with its grand terraces and porticoes, was built to honor Egypt’s most powerful female pharaoh.
Learn how Hatshepsut ruled Egypt as king, and discover her legacy through detailed reliefs and inscriptions carved into the temple walls.
Pause at the legendary Colossi of Memnon, two colossal statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III standing 18 meters tall. These guardians of the Theban Necropolis have towered over the West Bank of Luxor for over 3,400 years and are a perfect spot for memorable photos.
Enjoy a peaceful boat ride across the Nile River, moving from the West Bank to the East Bank of Luxor. This short sailing offers a tranquil experience, complete with beautiful river views and glimpses of local life along the Nile.
