Highlights
- Valley of the Kings - Your personal Egyptologist will escort you from your accommodation in Luxor, whether it be a hotel, Nile cruise, or apartment, to explore the West bank of Luxor. Begin your journey at the Valley of the Kings, where you’ll venture into the burial site of 65 ancient Egyptian monarchs. Receive a comprehensive briefing on the site’s selection as a royal burial ground and detailed descriptions of the interiors of the tombs. This is the very location where the renowned Pharaoh TutAnkhAmun was interred with his wealth of treasures!
- Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari - The Temple of Hatshepsut stands as a monumental feat of architecture, yet even more remarkable is the story of the woman behind its creation. She holds the distinction of being Egypt’s first female ruler. But how did she manage to ascend to such a position? What prevented others from opposing or rebelling against her? These are the tales we will delve into upon our arrival.
- Valley of the Queens - Nestled at the far end of the Theban mountains, the Valley of the Queens is home to over 60 sepulchers belonging to queens from the 18th to 20th dynasties, as well as other royal family members, including princesses and princes from the Ramesside period. Visitors can explore four of these tombs.
- Colossi of Memnon - As you conclude your tour of the West bank, make a stop at the Colossi of Memnon, the pair of once vocal statues. Regrettably, their melodies have ceased. Ever wonder how these immovable figures once produced sound, or why they fell silent? The myriad of fascinating narratives about Egypt and the historical sites you’re about to see will continue to captivate you.

Tour Egypt with George and Golden Luxor Tours! - George was my tour guide when I first toured Egypt in 2018. So I definitely sought him out for my second time visiting his country. George is very knowledgable and friendly. His tours are very informative and convenient too. Everything was taken care of, including skip-the-line tickets to all sites. He arranged the transportation to drop us off very close to the sites too, so walking was at a minimum. I hope to visit Egypt for a third time soon Insha'Allah. I'll definitely tour again with George and Golden Luxor Tours. Shukran George شكرا
