Your knowledgeable guide will provide insights into the region’s geography, history, and local life along the way, making the journey as informative as it is enjoyable.
- Arrival in Luxor: After several hours of travel, you’ll arrive in Luxor, often referred to as the world’s greatest open-air museum. Your first stop is the East Bank of the Nile, where you’ll explore the magnificent Karnak Temple Complex. Marvel at the grandeur of this vast temple complex, with its towering columns, intricate hieroglyphs, and majestic statues.

Explore several of these remarkable tombs, admiring the intricate artwork and learning about the beliefs and rituals surrounding the afterlife.
- Habu Temple: Later on, you will visit the Habu Temple on the western site of the Nile, this impressive temple dedicated to Ramses III, massive, colorful and well preserved.
- Colossi of Memnon: On your way back to the East Bank, make a brief stop at the Colossi of Memnon, two massive statues that once guarded the entrance to Amenhotep III’s mortuary temple. Snap photos of these towering figures and soak in the atmosphere of ancient Egypt.

Recent Private trip to Luxor and Valley if the Kings. We were looked after by Seyad and his team he organised everything from beginning to end. The private tour for my wife and I was wonderful the car arrived ten mins early. Seyad checked we had been picked up. The car was spotless. We were driven to Luxor with a stop for breakfast on the way. Upon arrival at Karnak temple we were met by our female guide who had everything ready for us and stayed with us all day she was so knowledgable about every aspect of the sites we visited and could answer any question we asked, nothing was too much trouble for her she organised a horse trek and Nile cruise again private and the driver was waiting for us whenever we needed him.
The Valley of the Kings was one of the most awe inspiring things we have ever seen and our guides knowledge was 2nd to none, she stayed with us all day taking us to other ancient sites. We were then picked up agin by our driver who took us to Hapshuet Site where we we were shin given a in depth explanation by our guide before our driver drove us back to our hotel. Going on a private tour gives you so much better value than a coach tour if you are lucky enough to get our driver a lady guide you will not be disappointed. They offer superb value for money and are approx 50% cheaper than travel companies such as TUI. This is a genuine review please feel free to reach out to me to verify.
Thankyou Seyad. Apologies it took me two weeks to write this

I don’t normally write reviews after activities…The trip was amazing! The guide (Hatem) we had was really professional, very attentive and nice with the whole group, we all felt safe and comfortable. Hatem explained things really good and answered all our questions, he took care of us, He explained things while inside and outside the van. The lunch was nice it was all included but the drinks, which is already specified in the description so it was nothing we didn’t know beforehand. Overall it was great the trip is really good organised, while on the island we got to see monkeys and tiny crocodiles which whom you can take pictures for just a little tip of you wish to do so. We got picked up at 04:00am and made our way back around 16:30pm, it was a really complete day and amazing memories were created. Highly recommend!
