Valley of the Kings

Your adventure begins with a comfortable private transfer from your Soma Bay hotel to Luxor, where the mysteries of ancient Egypt await. We'll begin our explorations on the West Bank, often referred to as the 'City of the Dead.' Our first stop is the legendary Valley of the Kings, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the burial ground for New Kingdom pharaohs. Your guide will illuminate the significance of the beautifully adorned tombs. Next, we'll visit the stunning Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, a terraced masterpiece carved into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari. Before heading for a relaxing lunch at a Nile-side restaurant, we'll pause to admire the colossal statues of Amenhotep III, known as the Colossi of Memnon. In the afternoon, we cross to the East Bank to explore the incomparable Karnak Temple complex, a vast open-air museum and the second-largest ancient religious site in the world. As the day concludes, we'll transfer to Luxor train station for a comfortable first-class journey to Aswan, where you'll check into your luxurious 5-star hotel for the evening.

  • Valley of the Kings — Delve into the tombs of pharaohs, adorned with intricate hieroglyphs and vibrant wall paintings illustrating ancient Egyptian beliefs about the afterlife.
