Step back in time on a private tour of Luxor’s West Bank, where some of ancient Egypt’s most awe-inspiring sites await. Visit the Valley of the Kings, the Valley of the Queens, the stunning Hatshepsut Temple, and the towering Colossi of Memnon, with lunch included for a complete experience. Your adventure begins in the morning when you’ll meet your expert Egyptologist guide and driver at your hotel in Luxor. Hop into your comfortable air-conditioned vehicle as you journey to the West Bank, immersing yourself in the rich history of this legendary region.

Start with a visit to the Valley of the Kings, home to 64 royal tombs. These range from simple pit tombs to vast labyrinths with over 120 chambers, once the burial ground for Egypt’s pharaohs who moved away from pyramid construction. Here, you’ll explore the burial place of some of Egypt’s most powerful rulers. Next, head to the Valley of the Queens, where you’ll discover the extraordinary Tomb of Nefertari—often considered the most beautiful tomb in all of Egypt. Enjoy a peaceful visit, with fewer crowds than the Valley of the Kings.

The tour continues with a stop at the Temple of Hatshepsut, one of ancient Egypt’s architectural masterpieces.

Before heading back to Luxor, take in the impressive Colossi of Memnon—two massive statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, the best-preserved remnants of his once-grand mortuary temple.
