  Valley of the Kings

  Your journey through time begins with a warm welcome at your hotel, where both your personal Egyptologist guide and professional driver will greet you for a smooth start to the day. Settle into the comfort of our air-conditioned vehicle and get ready to explore the legendary city of Luxor — the world’s greatest open-air museum. We’ll cross over to Luxor’s West Bank, home to the royal necropolis and some of ancient Egypt’s most remarkable monuments. Our first destination is the Valley of the Kings, the final resting place of Egypt’s most powerful pharaohs. Walk through history as you enter the elaborately decorated tombs carved deep into the mountainside. Standard admission includes access to three tombs of your choice. Optional add-ons (payable on-site) include: Tutankhamun’s Tomb: EGP 700 Ramesses VI Tomb: EGP 220 Seti I Tomb: EGP 2000

  Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari

  We then continue to the awe-inspiring Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, nestled beneath the towering cliffs of Deir el-Bahri. This majestic structure, with its tiered terraces and harmonious design, honors one of Egypt’s most powerful female rulers. Admission ticket (EGP 440) grants access to explore the temple and its impressive reliefs that tell stories of divine birth and trade expeditions. After the temple, we'll make a brief stop at a local Alabaster workshop — a traditional bazaar where generations of artisans have passed down the ancient techniques of carving and shaping this beautiful stone. You’ll get a fascinating look at how alabaster was crafted in Pharaonic times, using simple tools and skilled hands — just like the ancient Egyptians did. There’s absolutely no pressure to buy anything here. If something catches your eye, that’s great — and if not, you’re free to simply enjoy the experience and walk away with nothing but a deeper appreciation for this timeless craft.
