What sets this tour apart is its more complete look at Luxor’s royal West Bank. Unlike many standard itineraries, it combines both the Valley of the Kings and the often-overlooked Valley of the Queens, together with Hatshepsut’s Temple and the remarkably preserved Medinet Habu. The experience is completely private, with your own qualified Egyptologist and air-conditioned vehicle, allowing more time for questions, photography and exploring at a comfortable pace. With no compulsory shopping stops and an all-inclusive option covering standard entrance tickets, lunch and hotel transfers, the focus stays where it belongs—on the history, monuments and stories of ancient Thebes.

Travel first to the Valley of the Kings, where the rulers of Egypt’s New Kingdom created magnificent tombs hidden within the Theban mountains. Your standard entrance ticket includes a selection of three open tombs, while your private Egyptologist provides the historical background and explains the symbolism found inside.
Continue to the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, dramatically built against the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari. Discover how Hatshepsut established herself as one of ancient Egypt’s most successful pharaohs and recorded her achievements on the temple walls.
The journey then takes you to the Valley of the Queens, an attraction often missed on standard Luxor tours. Enter the available tombs of royal wives and princes and discover their colorful representations of the afterlife. Please note that the Tomb of Queen Nefertari, when open, requires a separate premium ticket.
If you select the lunch option, enjoy a relaxing meal at a selected local restaurant before continuing to Medinet Habu, the impressive mortuary temple of Ramesses III. Walk through its monumental gateways, vast courtyards and beautifully preserved reliefs depicting royal ceremonies and battles.
Complete your journey with a photo stop at the Colossi of Memnon, accompanied throughout by your private Egyptologist and air-conditioned vehicle.
