Tour Description

Our Valley the Kings qualified Egyptologist guide will pick you up from your hotel or Nile cruise in a comfortable A/C vehicle to explore the West Bank. Start with a visit to the famous Valley of the Kings, where you’ll find 63 tombs adorned with Egyptian mythology, reflecting the beliefs of the period. Although guides cannot enter the tombs, they will explain everything before you enter.

Next, journey to the magnificent Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, also known as Deir el-Bahari. Queen Hatshepsut, meaning "Foremost of Noble Ladies," is thought to have initiated the first trading routes.

Continue on to the Colossi of Memnon, two massive statues made from quartzite sandstone, believed to guard the entrance to Amenhotep's memorial temple. This location is perfect for taking fabulous photos.

After this fantastic tour, you will be transferred back to your hotel or Nile cruise.
