Hidden in the Theban hills, the royal necropolis holds more than sixty tombs. Your ticket covers three of them, with colours that still look freshly painted; Tutankhamun’s tomb can be added.
Three terraces rise against a cliff face at Deir el-Bahari – the memorial temple of one of the few women to rule Egypt as pharaoh. The reliefs of her trading expedition to Punt are a highlight.
Two 18-metre seated statues of Amenhotep III guard the West Bank fields – the only remains of what was once the largest temple in Thebes.
The largest religious complex ever built grew over 2,000 years. Walk through the Great Hypostyle Hall, a forest of 134 giant columns, and stand beside the obelisk of Queen Hatshepsut.
Linked to Karnak by the Avenue of Sphinxes, Luxor Temple is magical at dusk when its colonnades are lit. It is also a lesson in history: pharaohs, Romans and a medieval mosque share the same stones.
Your Egyptologist and driver collect you from your hotel or Nile cruise ship in Luxor in a private air-conditioned car.
Three royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings, chosen by your guide from those open that day, then the terraced temple of Hatshepsut and a photo stop at the Colossi of Memnon.
Lunch at a local restaurant – included.
The temple of Amun, built over 2,000 years: the avenue of ram-headed sphinxes, the Great Hypostyle Hall of 134 columns, the obelisks and the sacred lake.
The day ends in the centre of town at Luxor Temple, at the end of the Avenue of Sphinxes, as the light turns golden. Drop-off at your hotel or ship afterwards.

We were very satisfied with the whole experience! We booked a full-day tour including the safari and quad biking, and everything was great.
From the manager to our driver Omar, as well as Kareem, Ibrahim, and Islam — everyone was very friendly, respectful, and welcoming.
We can highly recommend this team and Desert Fox Safari!
Best wishes from Ilhan and Hasan from Calw, Germany!
