Tour Itinerary

Hotel Pick-up & Flight to Luxor

Your adventure begins with an early morning pickup from your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh. Our representative will transfer you in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle to Sharm El Sheikh International Airport, where you will board your domestic flight to Luxor.

The flight takes approximately 50 minutes, allowing you to maximize your sightseeing time. Upon arrival at Luxor Airport, your professional English-speaking Egyptologist guide will welcome you and begin your tour.

Colossi of Memnon

Your first stop is the West Bank of Luxor, where you'll visit the impressive Colossi of Memnon.

These two gigantic stone statues, each standing approximately 18 meters high, are the only surviving remains of the mortuary temple of Pharaoh Amenhotep III. They have welcomed visitors to ancient Thebes for more than 3,400 years and remain one of Luxor's most photographed landmarks.

Valley of the Kings

Continue to the legendary Valley of the Kings, one of the world's most important archaeological sites.

Hidden within the desert mountains, this royal necropolis contains the tombs of Egypt's New Kingdom pharaohs, including the famous tomb of Tutankhamun.

During your visit, you'll enter three royal tombs that are open to visitors (excluding Tutankhamun's Tomb unless an additional ticket is purchased) and admire the beautifully preserved wall paintings and colorful hieroglyphics that have survived for thousands of years.

Temple of Queen Hatshepsut

Next, visit the magnificent Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, one of Egypt's finest architectural masterpieces.

Built against the dramatic limestone cliffs of Deir el-Bahari, this elegant terraced temple was designed by the royal architect Senenmut and remains one of the most unique temples in Ancient Egypt.

Your guide will explain the remarkable story of Queen Hatshepsut, one of Egypt's most successful female pharaohs.

Karnak Temple Complex

• The Great Hypostyle Hall with its 134 colossal columns.
