Overview
Short on time but determined not to miss Luxor's greatest treasures? This Luxor day trip covers the West Bank's three most important sites in just a few hours — with a professional Egyptologist guide and private transport door to door.
Cross the Nile and enter the Valley of the Kings, where Egypt's most powerful pharaohs were buried in tombs covered with colorful paintings and sacred hieroglyphs that have survived over 3,000 years. Continue to the Temple of Hatshepsut — a stunning monument built into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari for Egypt's first female pharaoh. Then stop at the Colossi of Memnon, two massive statues that have stood guard over the West Bank for centuries.
Expert storytelling, easy travel, and every important West Bank highlight — all without feeling rushed.

Good to Know
Comfortable shoes, light clothing, a hat, and sunscreen are essential for the outdoor sites. The Valley of the Kings involves walking through underground tomb corridors — low lighting and uneven floors in some areas. The overall pace is relaxed with no rushing between sites. This tour is suitable for all ages and fitness levels.
Want to make the most of your time in Luxor? Add a hot air balloon ride in the early morning before this tour, or explore the East Bank with a separate Karnak Temple visit. You can also browse our Egypt Tour Packages to combine Luxor with Cairo and the Red Sea.
