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

After completing your Valley of the Kings, Queen Hatshepsut Temple and Colossi of Memnon Tour, you will be transferred back by private air-conditioned vehicle to your hotel, Nile Cruise, Luxor Airport, Luxor Train Station, or your location in Luxor.

Frequent Asked Questions

Quick answers to the most asked questions.

This FAQ covers core Egypt travel facts: visa on arrival and e-visa options, safety and health basics, average trip costs and cash/card tips, best months by region, what to wear and pack, local customs and public holidays, weather by season, official language and useful phrases, mobile data/Wi-Fi and SIM cards, transport (flights, trains, taxis, ride-hailing), tipping norms, and guidance for solo travelers and families. Use it to plan quickly and avoid surprises.

Getting into Egypt is genuinely easy. Most nationalities receive a 30-day visa on arrival at Cairo, Luxor, and Hurghada airports for just USD 30, paid in cash at the bank counter before immigration. If you prefer to sort it before you fly, Egypt's official e-Visa takes 3 to 5 business days and costs the same amount. Your passport needs to be valid for at least 6 months from your travel date. When you book with WOW Egypt Tours, your dedicated advisor confirms your exact visa route before anything else, so there is no guesswork on your end.

Absolutely. WOW Egypt Tours specialises in shore excursions from Egypt's main cruise ports including Alexandria for Cairo and the Pyramids, Port Said for Cairo, Safaga for Luxor and the Valley of the Kings, and Sokhna. Your guide meets you directly at the dock, the itinerary is timed precisely to get you back well before all-aboard, and everything runs in a private vehicle with no waiting around. Just share your ship name, port of call, and docking time when you get in touch and we handle the rest.

Start with a message through our contact page, WhatsApp, or email at booking@WOWEgyptTours.com. From that first message you will deal with one dedicated advisor who designs the itinerary, answers every question, and manages your trip from start to finish. A deposit secures your dates and the balance can be paid before arrival or on arrival in Egypt, depending on the package. Your advisor confirms the available payment methods for your specific booking. There are no surprise charges along the way.

 

This is genuinely what we do best. Through our tailor-made experience, your advisor starts from scratch with your travel dates, the destinations you care about, the pace you prefer, your accommodation style, and your budget, then builds an itinerary around all of it. Want to add a sunrise hot air balloon over Luxor, a private yacht on the Nile, a marriage proposal at Abu Simbel, a family trip mapped around your children's interests, or a wheelchair-accessible route through the Pyramids? All of it is possible and all of it has been done before.

 

Think light, breathable, and modest. Loose cotton or linen clothing works brilliantly in the heat and dries fast. Inside temples, mosques, and religious sites, covered shoulders and knees are required, so a lightweight scarf or wrap folds into any bag and solves the problem instantly. Comfortable, closed-toe walking shoes matter more than you might expect as ancient surfaces are uneven. Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat are non-negotiable in summer. A small reusable water bottle is a good idea everywhere. For desert or Sinai trips, pack a warm layer as nights drop sharply once the sun goes down.
