Pick up
In the morning, our representative will meet you at the selected location in Luxor to pick you up in a private AC vehicle to ensure you have a comfortable day tour.
Luxor West Bank Tour
When visiting Luxor, you are stepping into the realm of the great pharaohs of the New Kingdom. Luxor is the modern town located where the ancient city of Thebes once stood, serving as the capital of Egypt during the New Kingdom period.

The Nile River penetrated the city of Thebes and divided it into east and west banks. The ancient Egyptians believed that the West Bank represented death and the afterlife because it was where the sun went down before entering the afterlife. So, the West Bank served as a site for royal mortuary structures, including temples and tombs.
Valley of the Kings tour
Our day will start with the Valley of the Kings tour, at the site chosen by more than 63 kings from the 18th,19th, and 20th dynasties to build their tombs.

During the Luxor West Bank Tour, you visit three of the royal tombs, and you’ll be astonished by the remaining colored reliefs and paintings on the tombs’ walls that represent scenes from the afterlife according to ancient Egyptian beliefs.
Hatshepsut temple
Our next stop will be the “Hatshepsut Temple,” also known as the Deir el-Bahri Temple. Here you’ll see a unique temple not only because of its iconic design but also because it was owned by the most powerful female ruler in ancient Egypt.

Once you see the temple, you’ll be impressed by its breathtaking architecture, nestled at the foot of the cliffs and consisting of three terraces with symmetrical colonnades.

Stepping into the Hatshepsut temple, you can explore the magnificent wall reliefs that still bear some colors. These reliefs have a lot to say about the history and achievements of Queen Hatshepsut.
The colossi of Memnon
After finishing our tour at the temple of Deir el-Bahari, we’ll move to the location of the colossi of Memnon. They are two gigantic seated statues of King Amenhotep III, which were once placed before the entrance of his damaged mortuary temple. The statues acquired special fame in ancient times due to the weird sounds they made at dawn, hence they were called after the Greek hero “Memnon”, the son of “Eos”, the goddess of dawn.

Finally, you’ll be driven back to your residence in Luxor.
