    Valley of the Kings

    Walk through the gates of eternity into the necropolis where Egypt’s most powerful pharaohs were laid to rest. Your Egyptologist guide reveals the art, symbols, and afterlife beliefs painted across the tomb walls — from the golden journey of Ra to the heart-weighing of Ma’at. You’ll visit selected tombs (often including Ramses III, IV or IX) chosen for their vivid preservation and storytelling power.

    Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari

    Rising dramatically from limestone cliffs, this mortuary temple honors Egypt’s most remarkable woman-pharaoh. Discover how Hatshepsut defied convention, commissioning a monument blending divine symbolism with political genius. Your guide explains her bold expedition to Punt, her transformation into a male-styled ruler, and how her image was later defaced — a timeless lesson on power and legacy.

    Colossi of Memnon

    Two immense seated statues greet the rising sun on Luxor’s West Bank. These weathered guardians once flanked the temple of Amenhotep III. Hear the legend of their mysterious “singing” sound that echoed through antiquity — a melody of wind and stone that drew pilgrims from Rome to Thebes.

    Luxor

    Step into a warm family kitchen and learn the art of authentic Egyptian cooking. Guided by your hosts, prepare beloved dishes such as koshari, molokhia, and feteer using fresh herbs and spices from Luxor’s markets. Feel the rhythm of chopping, stirring, and tasting as your host shares stories of home life and traditional healing foods. End with a shared meal — laughter, aromas, and connection. Conclude your day at a boutique spice and oil shop renowned for its purity and preservation methods. Learn how ancient Egyptians used natural botanicals for health, perfume, and sacred ritual — and how locals continue those traditions today. Every guest receives a small spice or tea blend to take home, a fragrant keepsake of Luxor’s living legacy.
