This is a private tour/activity. Only your group will participate to all the mentioned sights with your own private guide. You will explore Karnak & Luxor Temple East Bank Valley of Kings & Hatshepsut Temple West Bank
Karnak is an ancient Egyptian temple precinct located on the east bank of the Nile River in Thebes (modern-day Luxor). It covers more than 100 hectares, an area larger than some ancient cities.
Constructed over hundreds of years by Amenhotep III, Ramses II, Tutankhamun, and other pharaohs, Luxor Temple was the largest and most significant religious center in ancient Egypt. In what was then Thebes, Luxor Temple was “the place of the First Occasion,” where the god Amon experienced rebirth during the pharaoh’s annually reenacted coronation ceremony.
The west bank of Luxor had been the site of royal burials since around 2100 BC, but it was the pharaohs of the New Kingdom period (1550–1069 BC) who chose this isolated valley dominated by the pyramid-shaped mountain peak of Al Qurn (The Horn). Once called the Great Necropolis of Millions of Years of Pharaoh, or the Place of Truth, the Valley of the Kings has 63 magnificent royal tombs.
At Deir Al Bahri, the eyes first focus on the dramatic rugged limestone cliffs that rise nearly 300m above the desert plain, only to realise that at the foot of all this immense beauty lies a monument even more extraordinary, the dazzling Temple of Hatshepsut. The almost-modern-looking temple blends in beautifully with the cliffs from which it is partly cut – a marriage made in heaven. Most of what you see has been painstakingly reconstructed.

Had a wonderful time with Mohammed Zayed. Explained about all the locations in Luxor. We travelled all the way from Cairo but he was very kind and kept on asking us whether we are comfortable always and also flexible with all timings. He made sure the trip wasn’t getting too hectic but at the same time he was very quick and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend him for your trips.

Enjoyed a 4D3N cruise on the Upper Nile with tour guide Azab, a professional Egyptologist and photographer 😆 who also offered a fresh perspective on the common "tourist scams" that I had only heard about previously, which actually made me feel more prepared when I encountered them firsthand during the trip. Just few inconveniences to be aware of when booking your trip: 1) Tour schedule was a bit off - had a few days setting off before dawn and finishing at noon.. 2) The cruise (aka floating HOTEL) didn't offer mini bars in the rooms. Had to purchase even water at the restaurant. 3) No free WiFi on cruise either. Local SIM didn't work all the time in upper Nile. Cruise staff was uber lovely and friendly tho 👍 Despite few bumps along the way, overall experience was delightful. I was well taken care of and had the best falafel 🥙 treated by Azab 😋 Highly recommend this tour and guide!

For 5 fantastic days Ahmed Sliem was my guide from Luxor to Aswan. Seeing many of the sites on land and along the Nile cruise, he was an amazing, knowledgeable and caring guide. He clearly individualized experiences to what I was looking to see and learn about and even made a birthday surprise for me while on the cruise. And I must give a special thanks to Honey who was an amazing driver
