Have your breakfast and check out from the hotel, then be accompanied by your private tour guide to explore the treasures of Luxor’s West Bank. Begin with the Valley of the Kings, a heavenly necropolis that houses 63 tombs built for powerful royals, queens, and pharaohs of the 18th, 19th, and 20th dynasties from the New Kingdom (1570 – 1050 BC). Among the legendary names are Rameses I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, IX, X, Seti I, Hatshepsut, Amenhotep I, and Tutankhamun, whose tombs reveal fascinating insights into the religious beliefs and funerary practices of ancient Egypt.
Continue to the Queen Hatshepsut Temple, a grand architectural masterpiece built in 1479 BC by the vizier Senenmut to immortalize the legacy of Queen Hatshepsut. The three-tiered temple honors the god Amun and displays exquisite artworks depicting her life, from coronation to rebirth, celebrating her remarkable achievements.
Next, marvel at the Colossi of Memnon, two giant statues of Amenhotep III standing 18 meters (60 ft) tall, crafted in 1350 BC. The statues have endured the test of time and bear inscriptions and images that recount the legacy and history of this legendary pharaoh.
