Private Full Day To Discover The West Bank In Luxor

Step into the ancient world of pharaohs, queens, and sacred temples with this immersive Private Full Day to Discover the West Bank in Luxor. This in-depth guided tour takes you across the Nile to explore the magnificent monuments that once formed part of ancient Thebes, the religious and royal capital of New Kingdom Egypt.

Your day begins with a comfortable pick-up from your hotel or cruise ship by your private guide and driver. Cross the Nile to the West Bank, historically known as the “Land of the Dead,” where the ancient Egyptians built their tombs and mortuary temples in anticipation of the afterlife.

Start your exploration at the legendary Valley of the Kings, the burial ground of pharaohs like Tutankhamun, Ramses II, and Seti I. Enter several of the elaborately decorated tombs carved deep into the Theban hills, where walls are covered with scenes from the Book of the Dead and myths of the afterlife.

Next, visit the elegant Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, one of Egypt’s most extraordinary structures, nestled beneath towering limestone cliffs. Learn about Hatshepsut, one of the few female pharaohs, and marvel at the temple’s symmetry and design.

Continue your journey to the Valley of the Queens, where royal women and children were laid to rest in beautifully adorned tombs. You’ll also visit Medinet Habu, the Mortuary Temple of Ramses III, famous for its vivid battle scenes and monumental architecture.

Conclude your tour at the Colossi of Memnon, two giant statues that have guarded the Theban necropolis for over 3,000 years.

With a professional Egyptologist guide, private transport, and plenty of time at each site, this tour offers a comprehensive look at the spiritual and architectural legacy of Egypt’s New Kingdom — all in one unforgettable day.
