About this tour
Embark on an extraordinary journey through Luxor's legendary West Bank on this immersive Egypt tour that brings ancient Thebes to life. Your expert Egyptologist guide leads you into the sacred Valley of the Kings, where pharaohs from 1539-1075 BCE chose their eternal resting place. Descend into three meticulously selected royal tombs adorned with vivid hieroglyphs depicting the pharaohs' journey through the afterlife, their walls painted in colors that have survived over 3,000 years. Marvel at the architectural masterpiece of Queen Hatshepsut's mortuary temple (1479-1458 BCE), its three terraces carved dramatically into the golden Theban cliffs. This female pharaoh who ruled Egypt for 22 years created one of antiquity's most innovative buildings. Stand before the towering 60-foot Colossi of Memnon, guardians of Amenhotep III's lost temple. This Luxor day trip offers unparalleled access to Egypt's most treasured archaeological sites, with morning or afternoon departures available year-round. The dry desert climate makes this excursion comfortable in all seasons, though early morning tours (7 AM) are recommended during summer months for optimal comfort.
