Detailed Itinerary
Stop 1: Hotel Pickup & Valley of the Kings
Begin your full-day excursion with a morning pickup from your Luxor accommodation. Cross to the West Bank and head straight to the Valley of the Kings . Spend ample time exploring the royal tombs, admiring the vividly painted corridors that chronicle the pharaohs' journey to the afterlife.
Stop 2: Temple of Queen Hatshepsut
Drive to Deir el-Bahari to visit the spectacular mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut . Carved directly into the limestone cliffs, this terraced temple is a masterpiece of ancient architecture. Learn the fascinating story of Egypt's most powerful female pharaoh.
Stop 3: Lunch at a Local Restaurant
Take a break from the desert sun and enjoy a delicious, authentic Egyptian lunch at a highly-rated local restaurant on the West Bank, offering a chance to recharge before continuing your tour.
Stop 4: Deir el-Medina (Valley of the Artisans)
Visit Deir el-Medina, the ancient village where the artisans who built and decorated the royal tombs lived. Unlike royal tombs, the tombs here (such as the Tomb of Sennedjem) depict scenes of daily life, agriculture, and family, offering a unique glimpse into the lives of common ancient Egyptians.
Stop 5: Medinet Habu & Colossi of Memnon
Continue to Medinet Habu , the Mortuary Temple of Ramses III. Often overlooked by large tour groups, this temple features some of the deepest and best-preserved reliefs in Egypt. Finally, stop for photos at the towering Colossi of Memnon , two massive stone statues of Amenhotep III, before transferring back to your hotel.
