In Luxor, the experience unfolds across the city’s two most important areas: the East Bank and the West Bank.

Crossing the Nile to the West Bank, you’ll explore the Valley of the Kings, where pharaohs of the New Kingdom were buried in elaborately decorated tombs carved deep into the mountains. The vibrant colors and intricate artwork inside the tombs remain remarkably well-preserved, offering a rare chance to experience the funerary beliefs and craftsmanship of ancient Egypt.

You will also visit the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, an architectural masterpiece carved into the cliffs at Deir El-Bahari. This temple honors Egypt’s most powerful female pharaoh and features grand terraces and detailed reliefs showcasing her reign and divine birth.

Throughout the day, your private guide will provide valuable insights into the historical significance of each location, bringing the stories of ancient Egypt to life.
