Tour Itinerary

An air-conditioned vehicle picks you up from your hotel or cruise in Luxor and takes you to the Valley of the Kings, a necropolis where 63 royal tombs hold secrets of the afterlife. Visit three tombs, such as that of Ramses VI, with passages from the Book of the Gates painted in vivid colors detailing the soul’s journey with Ra. The guide recounts Howard Carter’s 1922 discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb, unveiling 5,000 artifacts, from gold masks to chariots. Will you walk where Carter found his treasure? Some tombs still await discovery, a mystery that intrigues archaeologists.

Next, arrive at the Temple of Hatshepsut (1479 BC), built by Senenmut for the queen who defied norms as pharaoh. Its three terraces, carved into the mountain, reflect perfect symmetry. Reliefs depict the expedition to Punt, bringing back incense, ebony, and leopards, a commercial milestone etched with precision. The temple’s engineering, based on advanced mathematical calculations, captivates visitors.

A short distance away, the Colossi of Memnon, two colossal statues of Amenhotep III (18 meters, 720 tons), guard the plain. The Greeks believed they emitted a song at dawn, a mystical sound caused by cracks and heat. The guide explains their mythological connection as you admire their grandeur. Will you catch their ancient whisper?

After the visits, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant with Egyptian dishes. Return to Luxor in the afternoon, your mind filled with pharaonic wonders.
