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.

For a party of five a luxor trip was organized by Akram and his team. With the excellent guide Ashraf in Luxor they made it a unforgettable experience. Thank you for the good organisation of the trip.
Great service. We had a wonderful time.
Our guide Abdel Salam was very kind, spoke excellent English and shared his extensive knowledge with us. We had a private AC car.
Visited most of the main sites in Cairo over two days.
Would highly recommend.
I had an unforgettable overnight trip to the Sataya-Dolphin House. Great organization and easy communication. All of my wishes were taken into account and fulfilled. Thank's a lot!
We went in the Safari and Paradise Island boat trip. Both were very well organised, great activities and the transfer made by driver was on time!
I recommend especially the Paradise Island trip! The views on the island are amazing and the boat trip until there has such grest service on the boat (snorkeling, lunch, drinks).
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!
We had booked airport transfers from Hurgada airport to our resort in May 2022 and our experience was excellent. What sets this company apart was the responsive service we got through WhatsApp messaging. You may not be aware of this but meeting a taxi driver at airport is not so easy or obvious as the security personnel does not allow drivers in or even standing by the entrance. It all was resolved easily by WhatsApp communication. I cannot overstate how important is having a rapid response when something does not go as you would expect. Thank you Ashraf.
I am aware this company does much more than airport transfers: while I did not use any during my stay, I wouldnot hesitate to recommend this organisation to plan for your excursion needsin Hurghada.
Update April 2023: Used them again for this trip booking through Hoppa, same excellent service.
