Hot-Air-Balloon with Luxor West Bank Tour And Drive Back to Hurghada

Hot Air Balloon Luxor Take Off Site - The adventure begins around 5:00 am (timing is flexible) with a pick-up for an incredible 20 to 45-minute hot air balloon flight over the West Bank of Luxor. Enjoy a breathtaking aerial view of the landscape and famous landmarks as the sunrise lights up the sky of the open-air museum city (Luxor) over the grand temples and mountains below.

Valley of the Kings - After breakfast and check-out, start an unforgettable day by driving to the West Bank to visit the Valley of the Kings, where New Kingdom pharaohs carved their tombs into the mountains to hide their treasures and protect their mummies.

Howard Carter House - Then, visit the domed mud-brick house where Howard Carter lived during his search for Tutankhamun’s tomb. Surrounded by a garden on a barren slope above the road from Deir Al Bahari to the Valley of the Kings, the house has been restored and decorated with pictures and tools from the excavations. An exact replica of Tutankhamun’s burial chamber has been constructed on the garden’s edge, along with an exhibition related to the tomb’s discovery.

Art Valley Alabaster Factory - Afterward, guests will have the opportunity to visit the alabaster factory, where artisans still bring stones from the quarry and craft them into various handmade items, just like the ancient Egyptians.

Valley of the Nobles - Next, visit the Valley of the Nobles, a collection of tombs belonging to Luxor’s nobles, such as Ramose, Senniffer, Menna, and over 400 Theban nobles. These tombs, marked by numbers, feature beautifully carved scenes and are nestled in the foothills opposite the Ramesseum.

Ramesseum (Mortuary Temple of Ramses II) - Proceed to the Ramesseum Temple, considered the memorial (or mortuary) temple of Pharaoh Ramses II. Located in the Theban Necropolis in Upper Egypt, on the west bank of the Nile River, across from modern Luxor, the design of Ramesses’s mortuary temple follows the standard canons of New Kingdom temple architecture.

Habiba Hand Weaving - Then, visit Habiba for hand weaving, specializing in hand-woven scarves made from Egyptian cotton, linen, and wool. Local hand weavers also sell machine-made scarves and shawls in cotton and cotton blends. Situated in a rural setting on the West Bank in Luxor, with views of the nobles’ tombs, women continue to work and create handmade cloth from pure cotton, offering a glimpse into traditional hand-weaving techniques.

Colossi of Memnon - Conclude the West Bank tour with a photo stop in front of the colossal statues of Memnon.
