08:00 AM – Private Resort Pickup & Comfortable West Bank Crossing Your premium historic half-day journey begins with a prompt morning pickup directly from your hotel, cruise ship, or resort in Luxor via a private, deluxe air-conditioned vehicle. Lean back and relax as your personal driver smoothy navigates across the historic Nile River bridge, leaving the bustling East Bank behind as you approach the dramatic, towering limestone cliffs of the Theban Necropolis.

08:45 AM – Unveiling the Royal Tombs of the Valley of the Kings Arrive at the legendary Valley of the Kings, the ultimate final resting place of Egypt's greatest pharaohs like Ramesses and Tutankhamun. Accompanied by your expert personal Egyptologist guide, you will enter three officially selected royal tombs. Walk down the painted subterranean corridors to marvel at the vibrant, 3,000-year-old hieroglyphic murals, astronomical ceilings, and deep pharaonic colors that still retain their breathtaking original beauty.
11:00 AM – Exploring Queen Hatshepsut’s Majestic Terraced Temple Drive through the dramatic desert canyons to reach Deir El Bahari, where you will stand amazed before the Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut. Admire the unique, modern-looking triple-terraced architecture carved seamlessly into the towering limestone mountain walls. Your private guide will reveal the incredible life story, political triumphs, and mysteries surrounding Egypt’s most powerful female pharaoh.
12:30 PM – Stand Before the Towering Colossi of Memnon Continue your West Bank loop to the fertile green edge of the Nile Valley to view the historic Colossi of Memnon. Stand beneath these two massive, 18-meter-high quartz sandstone statues representing Pharaoh Amenhotep III.
