Itinerary
Embark on the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, Colossi of Memnon, and Karnak Temple
Take your air-conditioned seat in the private vehicle, traveling to Luxor in almost 4 hours with one break.
Explore the Valley of the Kings.
Upon arrival, meet your Egyptologist and explore the best three tombs of the Valley of the Kings, walking through sloped corridors, seeing hieroglyphs, and colorful wall paintings from the Book of the Dead, Book of Gates, Book of Caverns, Book of Amduat, and Litany of Ra.
You are amid the world of ancient Egypt's mysteries, exploring amazing secrets and facts related to building these tombs instead of the pyramids! The matter is beyond a common pharaonic tomb!
Visit these temples on the main entrance ticket: Tomb of Ramses III (KV11), Tomb of Ramses IV (KV2), Tomb of Merenptah (KV8), Tomb of Ramses IX (KV6), Tomb of Tausert and Setnakht (KV14), and Tomb of Siptah (KV47). Afterwards, make your way to Hatshepsut Temple
Marvel at the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut
Meet the dramatic facade of Hatshepsut Temple, carved completely in a cliff of Deir El Bahari into three marvelous terraces to be a non-repeatable temple made for this first lady ruling ancient Egypt successfully.
Wander through the details of this era, seeing vibrant inscriptions reflect how ancient Egypt was in this era and her famous expedition to Punt (a trading mission to a land rich in incense, gold, and exotic animals).
Explore how she ruled ancient Egypt by meeting the scenes of her divine birth and coronation and her offerings to gods like Amun, Hathor, and Anubis.
Meet the Great Statues located alongside the Sanctuary of Amun-Ra and the Chapel of Hathor. Afterwards, you will proceed to the Colossi of Memnon.
Colossi of Memnon Stop
Stand in awe in front of the Colossi of Memnon, representing Amenhotep III, guarding the largest mortuary temple in Thebes Necropolis, while the mysteries surrounding them, including their surviving the 27th-century earthquake and the internal sounds that come from them, sound like crying!
In this area, Amenhotep III was mummified and purified by the priests using the seven holy oils. Afterwards, you will proceed to Karnak Temple.
Marvel at Karnak Temple
The earliest artifacts found in this temple date back to 1500 BC, and the latest artifacts date back to 332 BC during the 30th dynasty, the latest dynasty in ancient Egypt. Wander through these valuable monuments.
Explore the unfinished edifice, the Taharqa Column, and the largest hypostyle hall in the universe with 134 columns built for 66 years.
Arrive at the Hatshepsut Obelisk, the Holy of Holies, the Sacred Lake, and the largest scarab found in Egypt for luck as per the pharaonic beliefs.

Really great day out, Akram , knowledgeable and fun,Akram was good company. A really excellent itinerary and experience, with all the hassle taken out and a lot of positives added in. Highly recommended to everyone!
The luxor 2 day trip was amazing. We have young children who struggled at times, but the guide and driver were fantastic. Everyone enjoyed the historical sites, and the hot air balloon ride was incredible. I would definitely recommend this trip and this company.
Very kind and profesional people.
In every trip that I went with them, all details were taking care of.
Ashraf is the most knowledgeable tour guide that I ever met in my life.
You will go on a trip and come back as friends.
I highly recommend golavita Tours!
Excellent private tour with a very knowledgeable , intelligent and tour guide. Ashraf went the extra mile to make sure our two day trip went smoothly and took us to all the best sites in Luxor. He also gave detailed interesting information throughout. He also has a fun character and was fun to talk to outside the tour!
Where do I start!!! A massive thankyou to Mr Akram and his team for creating amazing excursions giving you memorable experiences.
Right from the beginning, communication with Mr Akram was so professional, he attends to all your needs by listening to what it is you want to get out of your excursions and creates these amazing moments of a life time, all with the great connections he has. Nothing is too much of a hassle for Mr Akram, he answered all my questions thoroughly before I arrived.
Mr Akram showed me and my friend Hurghada City and bought us drinks, which was a lovely gesture for getting to know each other.
We went on two excursions whilst we were in Hurghada, one to Cairo and the other Luxor. Our hired car was very modern, clean and had AC, which gave us a great first impression.
A big shout out to our driver Hamada- what an amazing job he does, not enough credit is given. He drove so professionally and made us feel safe the entire time we were in his company.
A big shout out to Mushy our tour guide, what vast information she holds, absolutely amazing with great historical knowledge. She really gives you detailed information and takes her time explaining the finer details to you.
Overall our whole experience was amazing, many laughs along the way, many memories to treasure. Nothing is too much hassle for these lovely people, Mr Akram always made sure we were ok and enjoyed our experiences by checking in on us.
Drinks were always topped up ensuring we were hydrated all the time whilst on our tours.
If your thinking of booking with Palma tours, don't think just book, you will not regret it, right from the first communication you make with Mr Akram, things run so smoothly that's its literally stress free for when you arrive.
I can't thank Mr Akram, Hamada and Mushy enough, these three deserve well over 5 stars, and I'm already looking at my next trip for next year and I'm 1000% booking with yourselves again and Mushy and Hamada you'll be the people I'll be looking to hire again. Much love from Jill and Sobia (UK)
A very beautiful experience which made our stay in Egypt unforgettable; Luxor with a caring guide and Cairo with Ismaël; a very cultured guide who listens to the happiness of customers.
I would recommend this agency without hesitation
