    2. Temple of Hatshepsut

      Thanks to its design and decorations, the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir El-Bahri is one of the most distinctive temples in all of Egypt. It was built of limestone, not sandstone like most of the other funerary temples of the New Kingdom period. Temple of Hatshepsut It is thought that Senimut, the genius architect who built this Temple, found inspiration in his design by the plan of the neighboring mortuary, Temple of the 12th Dynasty King, Neb-Hept-Re. The Temple was built to commemorate the achievements of the great Queen Hatshepsut (18th Dynasty), and as a funerary Temple for her, as well as a sanctuary of the god, Amon Ra.

    3. Valley of the Kings

      The Valley of the Kings is an astounding location where 62 Pharaohs are buried. This royal cemetery is located on Luxor's west bank, down the only entrance, a long narrow winding path. This was a secret place, where sentries guarded the entrance, as well as the tops of the hills to discourage tomb robbers. In the past, they had plundered all royal tombs, including the treasures of the pyramids! Some thefts were probably carefully planned, but others were spur of the moment, as when an earlier tomb was accidentally discovered while cutting a new one and workmen took advantage of the opportunity. This may have happened when KV 46 was found during the cutting of KV 4 or KV 3 nearby. The tombs in the Valley range from a simple pit (e.g. KV 54), to a tomb with over 121 chambers and corridors ( KV 5). light lunch koshry or flafel sandwitch

    4. Colossi of Memnon

      Dating back to the New Kingdom, the 18th Dynasty, during the reign of Amenhotep III, The Colossi of Memnon is a mortuary temple located in Thebes. The mortuary temple of the pharaoh is guarded by two, 20-meter-high statues that were severely damaged during a 27 BC earthquake. The temple has now been destroyed completely and all that remains is the 23 meters high statue of Amenhotep III which weighs around a thousand ton. The statues, even after such destruction by natural and manly action, seem to be an impressive piece. then back to hotel

    Top Notch Trip to Luxor

    This trip to Luxor was one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had on a trip. I had a private tour with Marian and Maichael during my stay. First off I was picked up from the airport and visited the Valley of the Kings where I visited several tombs including those of Seti I and Rameses III. Marian was my guide this first day and she was very thorough and very nice. She made sure I was keeping up with the history of the sites and was very accommodating to my requests. We also visited that day Queen Hatshepsut's temple, Karnak and Luxor temples. It was overall an incredible experience. The next day, I had Maichael. From the start he was very attentive and ensured I was having the best time. We went to Aswan and covered the Edfu and Kon Ombo temples. He is very knowledgeable and made my trip all that interesting. He ensured I had all the information I needed for my balloon experience as well. Following day, Michael took me to the Dendera temple. Aside from giving me an amazing tour he talked to one of the guides and let me see a crypt that was completely restored but not yet open to the public. This means I was the first person to ever see this crypt. Hands down this was one of the highlights of my trip. On my last day, I had Marian again and that was a nice way to end up my trip. We covered Valley of the Queens and the Tomb of Queen Nefratari, Ramsseum and Habi temple. To top it all off Maicheal joined and we went to Banana Island to have an amazing meal and tour. Being in the island was very relaxing and it was the perfect way to end my Luxor trip... Oh and before I forget, the Ballon trip is a must. If you go to Luxor this is something that shouldn't be missed out. I certainly couldn't have asked for better guides. Marian even gave me a small souvenir and Maichael has been reaching out to give me more beats and pieces about Ancient Egypt because of my keen interest in this period of history. I am already thinking about my next trip there and hope I can have them again as part of my tours. This was definitely a 5 Star plus experience. Finally, Mina who was my driver was very professional, punctual and attentive. Hisham has a very good team in Egypt. Very coordinated and he is always following up to ensure you are having the best of time. I cannot commend him more for that.. I am contacting him again once I go back to Egypt on my next trip.

    Response from the operator: Dear our respected client , , We would like to thank you for your time to write for us your feedback and review ...we are happy to show you Egypt by our local eyes our goal to make sure you have unforgettable experience We hope to see you again in Egypt for longer vacation Please Keep in touch.

    Luxor to Aswan

    I am finishing up a tour of two days in Luxor and a Nile River cruise to Aswan with the wonderful guide Remon. I was traveling wiwith my cousin, so there were just two of us. Remon was friendly and warm, and made us feel at home right from the start. He knowledge was outstanding and he explained in detail everything we saw, including explaining who the gods were, the symbols and there meanings, the history from ancient times through the Roman period and how to tell this from the architecture, much too much to include here. His English was fantastic, and spoken at an easy to understand pace. In addition to seeing many antiquities, he also showed us back streets and real life. On the river cruise portion he explained how each city was dedicated to different gods. He made suggestions for additional tours, including a balloon ride that was wonderful. He looked after our every need, arranging with ship for carry out breakfast, wake up calls, took lots of photos of us together and stopped for water or what ever else we wanted I am giving Remon the highest rating and recommendation. He is the best.

    Response from the operator: thank so much for your feedback hope you enjoyed with us and have a great time , hope to serve you more in future to cover all Egypt 002 01283078720

    Loved my Trip to Luxor!

    Had a great time seeing the many Egyptian ruins and learning the history of the Egyptian gods. Our tour guide, Remon, was extremely, knowledgeable and detailed with his explanations at each site. Because there only two of us, we were able to be flexible with our schedule such as start times and the length of time we could remain at any site. I especially enjoyed the trip we made by horse carriage down the back streets of Luxor, away from the tourist areas. He also accompanied us on a 4 day cruise down the Nile. We were also able to add additional excursions to include a ride at sunrise in a hot air balloon. I highly recommend Remon. Ask for him by name to be your guide.

    Private Tour West Bank Hatshepsut temple ,Valley king ,Memnon Statue with Lunch: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.

    How much does Private Tour West Bank Hatshepsut temple ,Valley king ,Memnon Statue with Lunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at $16 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Luxor usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Private Tour West Bank Hatshepsut temple ,Valley king ,Memnon Statue with Lunch take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Luxor is not rushed.

    Is Private Tour West Bank Hatshepsut temple ,Valley king ,Memnon Statue with Lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Luxor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Tour West Bank Hatshepsut temple ,Valley king ,Memnon Statue with Lunch?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Private Tour West Bank Hatshepsut temple ,Valley king ,Memnon Statue with Lunch suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Tour West Bank Hatshepsut temple ,Valley king ,Memnon Statue with Lunch?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Luxor can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Luxor and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Tour West Bank Hatshepsut temple ,Valley king ,Memnon Statue with Lunch start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Luxor within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Luxor?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Luxor experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Half Day Luxor Tour Valley of Kings & Queens, Hatshepsut, Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor (Private), Full Day Tour of Luxor private. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Luxor?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Luxor?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
