  Itinerary


  1. Temple of Karnak

    Temple of Karnak When visiting Karnak, you are paying a visit to the heart of Egypt during the New Kingdom. This huge temple complex was the center of the ancient faith while power was concentrated at Thebes (modern day Luxor) and its significance is reflected in its enormous size. In addition to its religious significance, it also served as a treasury, administrative center, and palace for the New Kingdom pharaohs. It is considered as the largest temple complex ever constructed anywhere in the world. It developed over a period of 1500 years, added to by generation after generation of pharaohs and resulting in a collection of temples, sanctuaries, pylons, and other decorations that is unparalleled throughout Egypt. 2 hours • Admission Ticket Included


  2. Luxor Temple

    Luxor Temple This temple might be the greatest testament to why Luxor has earned its nickname, “The World’s Largest Outdoor Museum”. Luxor Temple is located in the modern city of Luxor, which is built on the site of the ancient Egyptian capital of Thebes. The temple is one of the best-preserved of all of the ancient monuments with large amounts of structure, statuary and relief carvings still intact, making it one of the most impressive visits in the Luxor area and all of Egypt, adding significantly to its allure is the juxtaposition that its setting provides. The modern city begins on one side and the Nile drifts by on the other. There are few places in Egypt where one is put so immediately and clearly in touch with the extraordinary length of Egypt’s history. 1 hour • Admission Ticket Included


  3. Valley of the Kings

    Valley of the Kings At first glance, the Valley of the Kings, also known as the Valley of the Gates of the Kings, seems like no more than a sun-blasted gorge of generic red rock, but underneath all of its dust lay the tombs of 63 of the most important pharaohs in the history of Ancient Egypt. Used as a burial chamber for nearly 500 years from the 16th to 11th century BC, Discovered by Howards Carter in an excavation expedition in 1922, one of the most important tombs found in the Valley of the Kings is the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun and all of his treasures.The Valley of the Kings is located on the west bank of the Nile River near Luxor. It is the most famous site for having unique collections of tombs and breathtaking ancient ruins.   2 hours • Admission Ticket Included


  4. Temple of Hatshepsut

    Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari In terms of visual impact from afar, there is no rival to Hatshepsut’s Temples. The unique multi-tiered structure nestled up against the limestone cliffs at the shoulder of the river valley is a truly stunning sight. The uniqueness of its layout mirrors that of the pharaoh responsible for building it. Hatshepsut was the only female pharaoh in the history of Ancient Egypt. She came to power during the New Kingdom after the death of her father, Tuthmose I, and her half-brother and husband, Tuthmose II, who succeeded her father on the throne. 1 hour • Admission Ticket Included

Special offer

Discover the monumental wonders of ancient Egypt on the ultimate Valley Of The Kings Tour From Cairo. This exclusive day trip, meticulously curated and available for booking through Cruise Era, transforms the long-distance journey from the capital into a seamless, unforgettable archaeological adventure. By utilizing a domestic flight, you save precious time and gain maximum hours exploring the majestic burial sites and spectacular temples of Luxor. This meticulously planned Valley Of The Kings Tour From Cairo is designed for discerning travelers who seek an in-depth, yet efficient, experience of the New Kingdom’s greatest monuments.

Unveiling the West Bank: Pharaohs and Queens

The adventure begins with an early morning pickup from your accommodation in Cairo or Giza, followed by a private transfer to the domestic airport for your flight to Luxor. Upon arrival, you will be met by your dedicated, expert Egyptologist guide who will be with you throughout the day. The primary focus of the day is the revered West Bank of the Nile, known as the Necropolis of Thebes. Here, you will step back in time at the legendary Valley of the Kings, the final resting place of New Kingdom pharaohs for nearly 500 years, including the famed Tutankhamun. Your private tour offers unparalleled access to this archaeological marvel, allowing you to explore the exquisitely decorated rock-cut tombs. Your guide will provide detailed historical context before you descend into the tombs, bringing the vivid hieroglyphs and royal history to life. The West Bank portion of your journey ensures a deep dive into the afterlife beliefs of ancient Egyptian royalty.

Following the exploration of the royal tombs, your Valley of the Kings Tour continues to one of the most unique and visually stunning structures in all of Egypt: the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari. Carved directly into the sheer cliffs, this multi-terraced temple is an architectural masterpiece dedicated to one of Egypt’s most powerful and successful female pharaohs. The temple’s elegant lines and colossal scale offer a striking contrast to the burial sites you just explored. Your guide will illuminate the captivating story of Queen Hatshepsut’s reign and the political maneuverings that led to the construction of this incredible edifice. Before leaving the West Bank, you will make a stop at the Colossi of Memnon, two massive stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III that once guarded the entrance to his now-vanished mortuary temple, offering a fantastic photo opportunity.

The Majesty of the East Bank: Temples of Amun

After a restful lunch at a quality local restaurant, your private Luxor day trip shifts to the East Bank of the Nile, the site of ancient Thebes’ vibrant life and magnificent temple complexes. The first stop is the colossal Karnak Temple Complex, a city of temples built over two millennia and dedicated primarily to the Theban Triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. Walking through the Great Hypostyle Hall, with its 134 towering columns, is an awe-inspiring experience that truly conveys the scale of pharaonic power and religious devotion. Your Egyptologist will expertly navigate the sprawling site, sharing the stories etched into every obelisk, statue, and wall. Exploring Karnak is an essential component of this comprehensive historical journey.

The final major stop on this intensive full-day excursion is the beautiful Luxor Temple. Located right in the heart of the modern city, this temple was connected to Karnak by the magnificent Avenue of Sphinxes and was the central site of the annual Opet Festival. Built by Amenhotep III and completed by Tutankhamun and Ramesses II, the temple remains remarkably well-preserved. Seeing the temple at dusk, when the lighting accentuates its columns and reliefs, is a truly magical way to conclude your sightseeing. The detailed inscriptions at Luxor Temple provide further insight into the religious and cultural life of the New Kingdom, perfectly complementing your visit to the Valley of the Kings.
