Tour Itinerary

Join Your Egypt Tours on a journey across the most famous sites of Luxor’s West Bank. Step back in time and experience Egypt’s ancient history in the company of your personal Egyptologist guide. This is a private tour, so you can determine how much time you would like to spend at each site.

 

Depart your hotel and begin your exciting day tour by visiting the Valley of the Kings. These elaborate tombs have eluded archeologists for many years. The interior of the tombs is richly decorated with hieroglyphics and carvings that will leave you in awe. Your tour guide will introduce you to these fascinating tombs before allowing you free time to enter and explore at your leisure. You will also have the opportunity to explore the tomb of Tutankhamun. However, your guide will not be permitted to enter with you.

 

Continue your exciting day tour by visiting the Valley of the Queens. This burial site is home to many of the former wives of the pharaohs. This intriguing necropolis is said to contain more than seventy lavishly decorated tombs. Learn about the construction of these tombs and their significance in ancient Egypt before continuing to your next destination. 


After visiting the Valley of the Queens, proceed to the marvelous Temple of Hatshepsut, one of the most striking monuments in our Luxor day tours. Your guide will introduce you to the temple and the fascinating story of Queen Hatshepsut and how she gained the throne by posing as a male. Explore this breathtaking temple and the intricate hieroglyphics that decorate its walls. After your guided tour, you will have some free time to explore the temple at your leisure. 

 

As you return to Luxor, you can stop briefly at the Colossi of Memnon, which marks the funerary site of Amenhotep III, the 18th-century pharaoh who ruled during Egypt’s golden age. Here you will find two giant statues standing tall and proud along the West Bank. The statues are all that remains of this ancient complex. Additionally, you can visit an alabaster factory and purchase genuine items if you wish. 

 

After your tour, return to your hotel for drop-off.

Egypt Travel FAQs

Being in Luxor for a single day is preferable to staying away. The main attractions in Luxor may be seen in one day. You can go to Hatshepsut Temple, the Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple, and possibly one or two other monuments on a day excursion to Luxor. The truthful response would be that a day trip to Luxor is insufficient.

It is frequently described as the largest open-air museum in the world and for a good cause. You may find a ton of ruins, monuments, temples, and tombs there. You'll need at least two days of Egypt day tours to discover all that Luxor has to offer without feeling rushed.

Unless you travel with a tour group, visiting Luxor on your own can be rather stressful. Luxor has so many archaeological sites and things to do that touring each temple and cemetery may take several days and a lot of money!

There are no set meter rates for cabs in Luxor, although depending on your negotiation skills, the majority of journeys will cost between 5 and 150 Egyptian pounds (approximately $0.50 to $17). Uber and other ride-hailing services are not available in Luxor.

You should set aside about $200 for Luxor excursions, which would likely involve visiting the Luxor and Karnak Temples. West Bank Temples and the Valley of Kings and Queens. Felucca rides at sunset.

Travel has helped us to understand the meaning of life and it has helped us become better people. Each time we travel, we see the world with new eyes.

Absolutely mind blowing. A definite must see. We flew from Aswan after I contact them, as I did not want to sit in car for hours with my 10-year-old daughter. Just so much history and ancient love. You cannot miss this one thing if you are in Cairo. The rocks are just HUGE, so special.

I recently traveled with my wife, daughter, son in law and two grandsons (ages 4 and 2). We had a private tour experience. From the moment we landed at the airport on our arrival to the day we left we were treated with the utmost care and attention

Our trip to was wonderful. The accommodations and travel was seamlessly arranged by customer service rep, Mona, and we visited so many of the famous Egyptian antiquities. I would not have done the trip without the very knowledgeable guides, Ashraf and Mamdouh
