Pickup from your resort
Your unforgettable private Luxor day trip from Soma Bay begins with an early morning pickup from your resort in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle. Relax as you travel through the scenic landscapes of the Eastern Desert toward Luxor, the ancient capital of the New Kingdom and one of the world’s greatest open-air museums.
Valley of the Kings and the Tomb of King Tutankhamun
Upon arrival, cross to Luxor’s legendary West Bank and begin your exploration at the world-famous Valley of the Kings, the sacred burial ground of Egypt’s most powerful Pharaohs. Hidden among the dramatic limestone mountains, this extraordinary necropolis contains the tombs of rulers who governed Egypt during its golden age.
Accompanied by your private Egyptologist guide, visit several beautifully decorated royal tombs adorned with colorful wall paintings, intricate hieroglyphics, and sacred texts from the Book of the Dead and other funerary books that were intended to guide the Pharaohs safely into eternity.
A highlight of your journey is the legendary Tomb of King Tutankhamun. Step inside the burial chamber of Egypt’s most famous young king and stand beside the original mummy that still rests inside the tomb. Learn the remarkable story of Howard Carter’s discovery in 1922 and how the treasures of Tutankhamun became one of the greatest archaeological discoveries in history.
Temple of Queen Hatshepsut
Continue your journey to the magnificent Temple of Queen Hatshepsut at Deir El-Bahari, one of the finest masterpieces of ancient Egyptian architecture. Built dramatically against towering limestone cliffs, this elegant mortuary temple honors Egypt’s greatest female ruler and features impressive terraces, beautiful colonnades, and detailed relief carvings that celebrate her reign and famous trading expeditions.
Colossi of Memnon
Pause for memorable photographs at the iconic Colossi of Memnon, the gigantic statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III that have guarded the Theban plain for more than 3,400 years. These towering monuments are all that remain of one of the largest mortuary temples ever constructed in Ancient Egypt and remain among Luxor’s most famous landmarks.
