Upon arrival in Luxor, meet your private Egyptologist guide, who will accompany you throughout your tour and provide detailed explanations about the history, architecture, and fascinating stories behind each ancient monument.

Begin your historical adventure with a visit to the magnificent Karnak Temple Complex, the largest religious complex ever built in Ancient Egypt and one of the most impressive archaeological sites in the world. This enormous temple city was developed over more than 2,000 years by generations of Egyptian pharaohs and was dedicated mainly to the worship of the god Amun-Ra.

Explore the huge temple grounds and walk through the breathtaking Great Hypostyle Hall, where 134 massive columns covered with ancient hieroglyphics create one of the greatest architectural achievements of the ancient world. Discover the towering obelisks, colossal statues, sacred lake, and impressive sanctuaries while your Egyptologist guide explains the stories of the kings, priests, and gods connected with this extraordinary site.

After exploring Karnak, enjoy lunch at a quality local restaurant in Luxor where you can relax and taste traditional Egyptian cuisine.

Continue your Luxor West Bank tour from El Quseir with a visit to the legendary Valley of the Kings, one of Egypt’s most famous archaeological sites and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Hidden among the mountains west of the Nile River, this ancient royal cemetery was built as the final resting place of the pharaohs of the New Kingdom.

Enter beautifully decorated tombs carved deep into the mountains and admire the colorful wall paintings, detailed hieroglyphic inscriptions, and ancient religious texts that reveal the beliefs of Ancient Egyptians about the afterlife and the journey of the soul.

Your Egyptologist guide will explain the history of the powerful rulers buried in the valley and share fascinating information about the discoveries that made this location famous worldwide, including the discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb.
