Highlights
  • Valley of the Kings - Your journey through Luxor’s rich history begins with our tour guide picking you up from your Luxor hotel. We’ll embark on a Luxor day tour to explore the Theban necropolis on the west bank of the Nile. Here, you’ll uncover the mysteries of the Valley of the Kings, the final resting place of the New Kingdom Pharaohs (1550

  • 1080 BC). Carved into the mountainside, this burial ground contains 64 tombs, with the earliest belonging to Queen Hatshepsut’s father, Tuthmosis I (1506

-1493 BC). If you desire, you can also visit the tomb of King Tutankhamun for an additional fee during this 2-hour exploration.

  • Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari - Next, we’ll journey to the magnificent Temple of Hatshepsut. This temple is a marvel, built across three terraces, seamlessly blending with the imposing cliffs of the Theban mountains. Originally, an avenue of sphinxes led to the Nile, with myrrh trees gracing the temple’s entrance. Queen Hatshepsut, the only woman to rule Egypt as a pharaoh, is portrayed in masculine form, donning a pharaoh’s kilt and beard. Additionally, on the West Bank, you’ll encounter the two Colossi of Memnon, towering twenty meters high, serving as the sole remnants of Amenophis III’s funerary temple.

It would be even better if you could speak without relying on translation apps! - Thanks to Aladdin, it was a very fun tour!! He gave me a lot of knowledge that I would not have known on my own!! I think that if you understand English, you can speak more directly without relying on translation apps, and if you use Egyptian English pronunciation and local names, you will gain more knowledge! On the other hand, it seems difficult without that. Translation apps are not yet sufficient. He also stops at souvenir shops selling papyrus and stone processing! Be careful with your wallet. There is no hard sell. There are some parts that are rushed, so if you can properly communicate your wishes, I think it will be a very good tour. I told him, so I'm glad we were able to go to the places I wanted to go! He also provided information about places we didn't go to, so I'm looking forward to it even more. Time management is very important, so it's important to have a guide who is good at it! Aladdin was very good, so if there is a next time, I would like to ask him.

A fun and incredible experience in Luxor! - We had a very fun and fruitful day on the west side of Luxor. We joined their tour on 2nd Jan 2024. Our tour guide was Aladdin, same as his name could always make our wishes come true! He and his driver came to pick us up on time, the car is air-conditioned which helps a lot in such a hot weather. Aladin speaks good English, telling us lots of interesting historical stories which you couldn’t find it thru google. He also helped us to skip the queue and get inside of the tombs with “fast pass”. A very responsible and 17 years experience in this touring industry, we could tell he’s really doing a good job there. He protected us not to get bothered by many souvenirs selling people. We felt entirely safe with him. He’s also able to making flexible plan according to your request. We all know how important to have a good and trustworthy tour guide in Egypt. Wish we could’ve met him earlier and would like to join more tours of his. Highly recommend Icon Tours Egypt if anyone looking for a tour guide not only at Luxor but in any city of Egypt!
