Your journey through time begins with a warm welcome at your hotel, where both your personal Egyptologist guide and professional driver will greet you for a smooth start to the day. Settle into the comfort of our air-conditioned vehicle and get ready to explore the legendary city of Luxor — the world’s greatest open-air museum. We’ll cross over to Luxor’s West Bank, home to the royal necropolis and some of ancient Egypt’s most remarkable monuments. Our first destination is the Valley of the Kings, the final resting place of Egypt's most powerful pharaohs. Walk through history as you enter the elaborately decorated tombs carved deep into the mountainside. Standard admission: EGP 750 (includes access to three tombs of your choice). Optional add-ons (payable on-site) include: • Tutankhamun's Tomb: EGP 700 • Ramesses VI Tomb: EGP 220 • Seti I Tomb: EGP 2000

Nous poursuivrons ensuite notre route vers l'impressionnant temple funéraire de la reine Hatchepsout, niché au pied des imposantes falaises de Deir el-Bahari. Cette structure majestueuse, avec ses terrasses étagées et son architecture harmonieuse, rend hommage à l'une des souveraines les plus puissantes d'Égypte. Le billet d'entrée (440 EGP) permet d'explorer le temple et ses impressionnants reliefs qui racontent des histoires de naissance divine et d'expéditions commerciales. Après la visite du temple, nous ferons une brève halte dans un atelier d'albâtre local – un bazar traditionnel où des générations d'artisans se transmettent les techniques ancestrales de sculpture et de façonnage de cette magnifique pierre. Vous découvrirez un aperçu fascinant de la fabrication de l'albâtre à l'époque pharaonique, avec des outils simples et des mains expertes – tout comme le faisaient les anciens Égyptiens. Ici, aucune pression pour acheter quoi que ce soit. Si quelque chose vous plaît, tant mieux ; sinon, vous êtes libre de profiter de l'expérience et de repartir avec rien d'autre qu'une appréciation plus profonde de cet artisanat intemporel.

We’ll make a brief stop at the Colossi of Memnon, the imposing twin statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, which have guarded the Theban necropolis for over 3,400 years. Admission: Free. After soaking up the wonders of the West Bank, we’ll head back across the Nile to the East Bank, where you’ll enjoy lunch at a local restaurant of your choosing. Whether you’re in the mood for a traditional Egyptian meal or something more international, we’ll help you select a spot that suits your taste and budget.

Refreshed and refueled, we’ll continue to the mighty Karnak Temple, a vast religious complex and one of the largest structures ever built in the ancient world. Walk down the Avenue of Sphinxes, marvel at the towering columns of the Hypostyle Hall, and learn about the gods and pharaohs who left their mark here over 2,000 years. Admission Ticket: EGP 600.

To conclude the day, we’ll visit the elegant Luxor Temple, beautifully lit by the afternoon sun. Once connected to Karnak by the Avenue of Sphinxes, this temple was a center of rituals, festivals, and royal coronations. Admission Ticket: EGP 500. At the end of this unforgettable day, we’ll escort you back to your hotel in the same comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle — your mind full of stories, your camera packed with memories.
