De vertegenwoordiger van Terre Des Pharaons haalt u op bij uw hotel in Luxor om de Westelijke oever van Luxor te ontdekken.

Je bezoekt 3 graven exclusief de tombe van koning Toetanchamon. Ga verder om te genieten van de tempel van koningin Hatsjepsoet, die werd gebouwd door koningin Hatsjepsoet, dochter van Thutmosis I, die ongeveer 20 jaar regeerde over Egypte tijdens de 18e dynastie (ongeveer van 1490 tot 1469 v.Chr.), De enige faraonische vrouw die het oude Egypte regeerde. Later wordt u teruggebracht naar uw hotel in Luxor.
De Tempel van Hatsjepsoet, ook bekend als Deir el-Bahari, is een oude Egyptische graftempel gelegen aan de westelijke oever van de rivier de Nijl, nabij de stad Luxor. Het werd gebouwd voor koningin Hatsjepsoet, een van de weinige vrouwelijke farao's in het oude Egypte, die regeerde in de 15e eeuw v.Chr. (ongeveer 1479-1458 v.Chr.). De Tempel van Hatsjepsoet wordt beschouwd als een van de meest opmerkelijke architectonische prestaties van het oude Egypte. Het is ontworpen door Senenmut.
De Kolossen van Memnon zijn twee massieve stenen beelden gelegen op de westelijke oever van de rivier de Nijl nabij de stad Luxor in Egypte. Het zijn de enige overblijfselen van een groter dodentempelcomplex gebouwd door farao Amenhotep III in de 14e eeuw voor Christus (ongeveer 1350-1334 voor Christus). De beelden tonen Amenhotep III zittend op zijn troon, en elk beeld is ongeveer 18 meter hoog en weegt ongeveer 700 ton. Ze werden uit afzonderlijke blokken kwartsietzandsteen gesneden en oorspronkelijk bij de ingang van de tempel van de farao geplaatst. De beelden zijn gemaakt om de tempel te bewaken en om de goddelijke macht en autoriteit van de farao te vertegenwoordigen.

We really enjoyed the tour organised for us by Mohamed Awad. He picked us up from the hotel and drove through the city describing the tour plan and sites we were passing by. After we visited three locations: Valley of Kings, Hatshepsut temple on Memnon Colossus. He walked us through all the details and told a lot of interesting facts. After the excursion we visited local shop but buying was not necessary, no one pressured us to, so we decided not to buy anything and that was totally okay. After that returned us to the hotel. Overall, it was very pleasant tour, thanks to Mohammad Awad!

My guide Abdelwahab’s knowledge of Egyptian history was extraordinary. He provided excellent explanations at every site, bringing the ancient world to life with vivid detail and context. The vehicle was brand new and very comfortable, which made the entire experience even better. Every moment was invaluable, and I learned so much more than I ever could have imagined. Time incredibly well spent with Abdelwahab - highly recommend!

We had a really wonderful day visiting the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut, and the Colossi of Memnon with our guide, Barry. The morning started off seamlessly with a prompt hotel pickup, and Barry joined us en route as we headed toward the West Bank. What we loved most about Barry was his practiced ease. You can tell he has been guiding for a long time. He has a very calm, deliberate way of sharing history; he doesn't overwhelm you with facts, but instead points out specific details in the tombs and temples that really help you connect the images to what life was like back then. It was great to have that extra bit of time to actually process what we were seeing. I was also so impressed by how thoughtful he was with my elderly mother. She has some mobility issues, and Barry was incredibly patient, making sure she felt supported and taken care of at every site. If you’re planning your trip, it’s worth noting that the crowds can vary a lot. We went on a Friday morning and it was quite busy, whereas a previous Wednesday afternoon visit was much quieter. Since the January weather is so pleasant, an afternoon tour is a great way to avoid the rush. Barry was a total professional from start to finish. There was no pressure for unscheduled stops, and he stuck exactly to the itinerary we wanted. If you’re looking for a guide who is patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely considerate, Barry is an excellent choice.

We booked a day with Egypt Lovely Tours and were really impressed with the professionalism. Our guide, Mena Gamill, and our driver arrived at our hotel exactly on time. The highlight was definitely Mena’s knowledge. On the drive to the Valley of the Kings, he gave us a fascinating, detailed breakdown of Egypt through the ages, covering not just history, but geography, politics, and how the economy has evolved up to today. He was incredibly well-prepared and organised throughout. At the Valley of the Kings, since guides stay outside, Mena walked us through the stories of the tombs before we went in. We saw the tombs of Ramesses III, IV, and IX, and paid the extra for the Seti I tomb which I’d highly recommend doing. Having Mena’s context before entering made a huge difference; you get so much more out of the experience with a guide of his caliber. The tour is excellent value, though I’d recommend re-confirming your specific stops with him at the start. He had planned an unscheduled stop at an alabaster factory, which would have cut into our time for the Temple of Hatshepsut and the Colossi of Memnon. As it happened, I was travelling with my elderly mother who has mobility issues and she was exhausted after the tombs anyway, so we chose to head back to the hotel early. Mena was very professional and accommodated our need to end the day there. If you want a deep, intellectual dive into Egyptian history, he is an excellent choice.

Our tour guide Abdelwahab was so knowledgeable regarding our tour to the Valley of the Kings. The whole experience was absolutely incredible from beginning to end. He arrived in a private car ready to inform us on our journey of all the background information necessary before we arrived. The plus side was because he works for several British holiday companies the staff at the sites knew him well which meant we didn't have to wait to access anything and we skipped the line. Our time looking around was full of unimaginable aspects including his knowledge of hieroglyphics. His English was incredible and we're so glad we had him with us to explain everything as for sure you'll miss out on a lot of nuanced information if you go on your own. We wanted to adopt him but sadly Egypt can't manage without his wisdom.

Amazing architecture and history of the valley of kings, a must for the trip. Be assured to check tickets as there are too many tombs in the valley and only main ones should be checked. The tickets allows 3 tomb visits

Great time with our driver Mo and guide Honey. Very pleasant journey where Honey would tell us things before hand and then we were off to exploring things at our own pace. If I ever had a question Honey could answer it.
