Luxor West Bank and Return to Hurghada

Enjoy breathtaking aerial views of the country’s landscape and famous landmarks, soaring over the open-air museum city of Luxor, with its great temples and mountains below.

Valley of the Kings - After breakfast and check-out, start an unforgettable day by visiting the Valley of the Kings on the West Bank, 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 at the garden’s edge, along with exhibits related to the tomb’s discovery.

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

Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari - Next, explore the mortuary temple of the renowned Queen Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari, discovering her beautiful temple and intriguing story with her nephew.

Tombs of the Nobles - Luxor - Proceed to the Valley of the Nobles, a collection of tombs belonging to nobles such as Ramose, Senniffer, Menna, and over 400 Theban nobles, marked by numbers and adorned with beautiful carvings. Nestled in the foothills opposite the Ramesseum, these tombs are a must-see.

Ramesseum (Mortuary Temple of Ramses II) - Continue to the Ramesseum Temple, considered the memorial temple (or mortuary temple) of Pharaoh Ramses II.

Valley of the Artisans (Deir el-Medina) - Visit the Valley of the Artisans, where the workmen responsible for constructing the royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings lived during the 18th, 19th, and 20th Dynasties of the New Kingdom period (1550-1080 BC).
