Day-by-Day Egypt Tour Itinerary

Valley of kings, Nobles tombs, Ramesseum, and Deir el Medina

Create Lasting Memories with Luxor Vacations

Take your private seat in the A/C vehicle. Your captain, who is licensed, meets you friendly also. Enjoy a driving tour in Thebes, the capital of ancient Egypt, arriving at the Valley of the Kings.

The Arrival at the Valley of the Kings

At the car parking area, we leave the vehicle for a walking tour amid the bazaars, arriving at the booking ticket offices, the visitor center. Your Egyptologist books the tickets for the tombs to scan. Take the electric cars to the royal tombs.

This site is more than a tomb for the ancient Egyptians. Let your Egyptologist tell you all about the Valley of the Kings and why these tombs were adopted instead of pyramids. Who had discovered this site, why, and who had carved it? It is time to uncover all about this engineer that is called Inini!

Each king has begun to create his tomb from just accession to the throne until death. As soon as the workers knew that the king was dead, they stopped working in the cemetery.

They had only 70 days until the king’s mummification is completed, and once he is buried, the cemetery is never opened. Is that right? It is your chance to know all the facts in this unique spot of ancient Egypt. Your Egyptologist recommends the best tombs to visit.

Explore the Nobles tombs 

Visit the Grape" Cemetery, or "Snefer" Cemetery: it is called Grape Cemetery as its ceill was decorated with inscriptions resembling bunches of grapes. Immerse yourself amid views of the afterlife world as per the ancient Egyptians beliefs and ancient Egypt’s daily life.

Ashraf was our Egyptian professional guide for a Czech small group planned "Sacred journey to the chacra temples of Egypt". As the title already says, not only were we using his incredible life experience of an egyptolog, tourist guide and organiser. We were also using his experience with the places themselves, which of the extra tickets are worth the money to visit the extra places, which of the villages and shops are fair and having good things. And of course all the historical stories linked to the places we visited with open mind to some new more alternative explanations of happenings too. The organisation of our trip from Hurghada, through Asuan, Luxor, Ghiza and back Hurghada is fully his expertise. Minivans, boat, train... He was always with us handling all to our happiness ❤️ Buying extra water, bananas or ordering better for stomach digestion food.

Our experience on the Dahabiya with Golavita was absolutely fantastic. We had a very professional guide, Mohamed Nagdy who spoke excellent Spanish, and we learned about the fascinating history of Ancient Egypt in a relaxed and enjoyable way. The Dahabiya Iris is truly recommended, a perfect combination of comfort and culture.
