Itinerary
We visit the rock hewn mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut. After the death of her husband, Thutmose II, Hatshepsut took the reign as either co-regent with or self-proclaimed Pharaoh instead of Thutmose III. Either way, she was a skillful warrior and strong ruler re-establishing trade routes with foreign countries. Prove of her successes and accomplishments are written on the walls of her memorial Temple at Deir El-Bahari.
You will visit the old necropolis of ancient Thebes on the West Bank of Luxor. We will take you to the spectacular Valley of the Kings, where up to now, 63 tombs have been found varying from a one chamber crypt (KV54) to a tomb with 120 chambers (KV5). You will be able to visit 3 tombs with the entrance ticket. The tombs of Tutankhamen and Seti I require separate tickets (not included).
To conclude the trip, we stop at the base of the magnificent Colossi of Memnon, two immense statues guarding the ongoing excavation of the palace of Amenophis III. The statues are actually likenesses of Pharaoh Amenophis III. Memnon was a hero of the Trojan wars, said to be the son of Eos, Goddess of Dawn. Because of an earthquake in 27BC, one of the statues was damaged and due to forces of nature, was said to "whistle" or "sing" at dawn.

Good experiance, all was as planned…
Dear Frank K, Thank you so much for your kind review and positive feedback! 😊 We’re very happy to hear that you had a great experience and that everything went as planned. We’re especially glad you enjoyed working with Tour Guide Ahmed — he is indeed excellent, and we will happily recommend him. Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback. We look forward to welcoming you back to Luxor in the future! Best regards,
Organised through the fantastic Aracan Eataby hotel where we stayed, who tailored a day in the West Bank to the places we wanted to see which included the wonderful Habu temple. Our guide Ramez was very knowledgeable giving us information before allowing us to wander and take photos ourselves at each place. Transport was good, always ready to ferry us from place to place with the day starting at 10am and finishing at 4.30pm door to door. Tour price did not include tickets for Valley of Kings, Hatshupset and Habu temples and whilst not cheap for our family of 4 as a private group, I'd consider it worth the money for overall a great experience.

I only had one day in Luxor, but I wanted to see as much of it as I could while there. EgBride Travel and my guide Smiley (and driver Mohamed) made this possible for me. I did this tour, then Karnak and Luxor Temple, and the sound and light show at Karnak to finish. The Valley of the Kings was incredible, and it made it much more manageable and streamlined to have Smiley as my guide through it. The tombs are so well preserved and highlight the magnificence of pharaonic Egypt’s art work and craftsmanship in devotion to their rulers and gods. Walking up to Hatshepsut Temple, with the mountain of rock behind it, and the city of Luxor in front, was a remarkable experience. Smiley again helped bring the temple to life with his knowledge and care to point out important details. The Colossi of Memnon were huge impressive monuments and a testament to ancient Egyptian builders. My favorite part of this final part of the tour was the tasty lunch at a restaurant very close by to the statues.
Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for sharing your incredible experience with us! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your day exploring the wonders of Luxor with Smiley and Mohamed. The Valley of the Kings is indeed a remarkable site, and we’re thrilled that Smiley’s guidance enhanced your understanding of the artistry and history behind the tombs. Hatshepsut Temple’s stunning backdrop and the grandeur of the Colossi of Memnon are truly unforgettable, and it’s wonderful to know that you appreciated those moments. We’re also glad you enjoyed the lunch—it’s always nice to relax and reflect after a day of exploration. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we look forward to welcoming you back for more adventures in the future! Warm regards, Managment Team EgBride Travel

After booking, we received several messages via Whatsapp welcoming us and advising us of pick up details. We were met in our hotel reception on time by Smiley, our guide. We were then taken to the car outside where we met our driver. Smiley was incredible, so knowledgeable, so friendly, so helpful and informative. He could not have been a better guide to the Valley of the Kings. Any question we asked he answered and nothing was too much trouble. We felt very comfortable with him and the driver at all times and could not have wished for a better visit to this incredible place. We were so satisfied with Smiley and the driver that we booked them to take us to Karnak Temple a few days later where we received the same level of service. We would not hesitate in recommending this company and especially Smiley as your guide. I doubt you will find a better guide in all of Egypt to take you around these sites. When we return next year we will again ask for him to take us to some more places.
