What To Expect
Start with pickup at your hotel or cruise ship in Luxor between 7am and 9am - the departure time on this private tour is up to you. Drive into the Valley of the Kings, a necropolis for the ancient city of Thebes, a 45-minute drive through fields and mountains. You'll see the rustic house where Howard Carter lived as he searched for Tutankhamun's tomb, then visit a series of three elaborate tombs. Guides are not allowed inside the tombs, but you'll get a briefing on the history of each one before you enter; if you'd like to add a visit to King Tutankhamun's tomb, your guide can arrange the stop at an additional fee. Continue to the nearby Temple of Hatshepsut, a beautifully-preserved structure with elegant colonnades and hieroglyphic decorations. Learn the story of the ancient Queen and Pharaoh as you tour the site, then visit the monolithic Colossi of Memnon that guard the funerary temple of Amenhotep III. Begin the return trip to Luxor, with an optional stop at an alabaster factory to shop for souvenirs, and finish the 4-hour tour with drop-off at your cruise ship or hotel.
