Valley of the Kings

Start your journey at the legendary Valley of the Kings, the eternal resting place of Egypt’s greatest pharaohs. Descend into beautifully decorated tombs carved deep beneath the desert hills and admire vivid wall paintings that have survived for thousands of years. Your ticket includes entry to three tombs (excluding Tutankhamun), with an optional upgrade available to visit King Tut’s tomb.

Temple of Queen Hatshepsut

Continue to the magnificent Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, dramatically carved into the limestone cliffs of Deir el-Bahari. This architectural masterpiece honours Egypt’s most powerful female pharaoh and showcases a unique blend of symmetry, elegance, and sacred symbolism.

Colossi of Memnon

Pause for photos at the towering Colossi of Memnon, two massive statues that have stood guard over the Theban Necropolis for more than 3,000 years. These iconic figures remain one of Luxor’s most photographed ancient landmarks.

Karnak Temple Complex

Cross to Luxor’s East Bank to explore the awe-inspiring Karnak Temple Complex, the largest religious structure ever built. Walk through the Great Hypostyle Hall with its forest of colossal columns, admire towering obelisks, discover sacred lakes, and uncover hidden chapels in this vast temple city built over 2,000 years.

Luxor Temple

End your day at the elegant Luxor Temple, located in the heart of the city. Once connected to Karnak by the Avenue of Sphinxes, this beautifully preserved temple features colossal statues, intricate carvings, and a magical atmosphere—especially when illuminated at night.
