What To Expect
Valley of the Kings
Your day begins with pickup from your Luxor hotel by our professional Egyptologist guide. Cross the Nile to the West Bank, where your exploration of the Theban Necropolis begins. The Valley of the Kings is home to the tombs of more than 60 New Kingdom pharaohs, including powerful rulers like Ramses II, Seti I, and the boy king Tutankhamun. Delve into three handpicked tombs (included in your ticket), admiring vivid wall paintings that depict scenes of the afterlife, sacred rituals, and the journey to immortality. For those interested in visiting the famous Tomb of Tutankhamun, access is available for an additional fee. Your guide will share intriguing facts about burial customs, mummification, and the discovery of these incredible sites.
Temple of Hatshepsut
Next, you'll head to the dramatic cliffs of Deir el-Bahari, where the awe-inspiring Temple of Hatshepsut rises in harmony with the surrounding mountains. This unique structure was commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut, one of Egypt's few and most successful female pharaohs. Explore the temple's three levels, connected by long ramps and adorned with beautiful reliefs detailing Hatshepsut's divine birth and trading expeditions to the land of Punt. Learn how she portrayed herself as a male ruler to legitimize her reign and how her legacy was almost erased by her successors.

5.00A personal, efficient and friendly tour with Aladdin who knew exactly where to go and how to maximise our time. He encouraged us to leave early which was totally right and was always able to answer all our questions. He fitted us in last minute which was great. We are from Scotland and loved sharing and learning about his country and culture. The car was immaculate and modern with very safe driving.

5.00It was a great experience Aladdin explained the whole history of the temples we visited in an illustrative and didactic way. We also took nice pictures and gave us time to take pictures and tour the places quietly.

5.00Take this trip and request for Aladdin. We saved so much time with his queue tips and tricks. And the tour itself was amazing with the sights and knowledge gained. Starting the day with the most amazing hot air balloon ride and ending it with a buffet, couldn’t recommend it more!
