Tour Itinerary

1 Pickup

Your WOW Egypt Tours representative and driver will pick you up from your hotel, Nile Cruise, Luxor Airport, Luxor Train Station, or your location in Luxor. You will be transferred by private modern air-conditioned vehicle with your private Egyptologist guide to begin your Luxor West Bank sightseeing tour.

2 Temple of Queen Hatshepsut

The Temple of Queen Hatshepsut is located at Deir el-Bahari on the West Bank of Luxor. It was built during the reign of Queen Hatshepsut in the 15th century BC, during the 18th Dynasty of the New Kingdom. Queen Hatshepsut ruled Egypt for about 20 years and became one of the most important female rulers in ancient Egyptian history.

The temple is known for its terraced structure, colonnaded halls, wall reliefs, and its location against the cliffs of Thebes. It was designed as a mortuary temple for Queen Hatshepsut and was also connected with the worship of Amun, one of the main gods of ancient Thebes. The temple has 3 main terraces connected by ramps and built against the limestone cliffs of Deir el-Bahari.

During your visit, your private Egyptologist guide will explain the history of Queen Hatshepsut, her reign, her building projects, and the religious role of the temple. Hatshepsut’s reign was a major period of construction and trade, including her famous expedition to the Land of Punt, which is shown in relief scenes inside the temple.

You will see the main terraces, ramps, chapels, relief scenes, and temple areas connected with Queen Hatshepsut, Amun, Hathor, and Anubis. The temple’s design makes it one of the most recognizable monuments on the West Bank of Luxor and one of the main monuments at Deir el-Bahari, near other royal mortuary temples from the Middle Kingdom and New Kingdom periods.

This visit is an important part of any Luxor West Bank Tour and gives clear context about royal mortuary temples in ancient Egypt, especially during the New Kingdom period between the 16th and 11th centuries BC.

3 Valley of the Kings

After visiting the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, continue to the Valley of the Kings, one of the most important burial sites in ancient Egypt. The valley was used for the tombs of many New Kingdom pharaohs from the 18th, 19th, and 20th Dynasties, mainly between the 16th and 11th centuries BC.

The Valley of the Kings became the main royal burial area of ancient Thebes after the pyramids were no longer used as the main form of royal tombs. It includes more than 60 discovered tombs and the tombs of famous rulers such as Tutankhamun, Ramses II, Ramses III, Seti I, and other kings connected with the New Kingdom period.

Your entrance ticket includes visits to 3 tombs in the Valley of the Kings, according to the tombs open on the day of your visit. Your private Egyptologist guide will explain the history of the valley, the purpose of the royal tombs, the decoration of the burial chambers, and the beliefs connected with the afterlife.

Inside the tombs, you will see painted corridors, religious scenes, hieroglyphic texts, and burial chambers connected with ancient Egyptian funerary beliefs. Many of these decorations were based on ancient Egyptian religious books and were designed to guide the king through the afterlife.

The tomb of Tutankhamun was discovered in the Valley of the Kings by Howard Carter in 1922 and contained more than 5,000 objects. The Valley of the Kings is one of the main highlights of Luxor Tours and one of the most requested stops on Luxor Day Tours and Luxor Day Trips.

4 Lunch Time

Lunch is served at local restaurant.

5 Colossi of Memnon

After lunch, continue to the Colossi of Memnon, two massive seated statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III. The statues were built in the 14th century BC during the 18th Dynasty and once stood at the entrance of the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III, which was one of the largest temple complexes on the West Bank of Luxor.

Amenhotep III ruled Egypt for about 38 years during the New Kingdom period. His mortuary temple was built as a major royal memorial temple, but most of the structure disappeared over time because of floods, stone reuse, and natural damage. The two seated statues remain the most visible part of the original temple complex today, and each statue is about 18 meters / 60 feet high.

During your stop, your guide will explain the history of the statues, their connection with Amenhotep III, and the ancient temple that once stood behind them. The Colossi of Memnon are usually visited as part of Luxor West Bank sightseeing tours and are an important photo stop in Luxor.

6 Drop-off
