1Valley of the Kings
Your morning begins with a convenient pickup from your Luxor hotel or Nile Cruise lobby. Head straight to the legendary Valley of the Kings, the royal necropolis of Egypt's New Kingdom (18th to 20th dynasties). Here, powerful pharaohs carved elaborate tombs deep into the Theban mountains to safeguard their treasures and protect their mummies. Your expert Egyptologist guide will provide fascinating historical context outside the tombs (as interior guiding is restricted). You will then enter 3 carefully selected open tombs, including those associated with iconic rulers like Ramses II and the boy-king Tutankhamun.

This magnificent mortuary temple was commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut, ancient Egypt's most successful female pharaoh, who ruled for nearly 22 prosperous years. Explore its courtyards and learn the incredible story of her reign.
