This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Valley of the Kings, Luxor City, Luxor 85511 Egypt
Absolutely the first choice for a trip to Luxor is to Visit the famous Tomb of king Tutankhamun , Ramasses and Pharaohs of Egypt Glory Era of 1500 BC.

This Temple Honors the Egyptian Queen Who Ruled as King.Beneath the sheer, stark cliffs of Deir el Bahri, the mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut reveals one of the most extraordinary reigns in Egyptian history.
Stepped platforms, pillared porticoes, and vibrant reliefs set against the desert backdrop make it one of the world’s most striking architectural masterpieces, but perhaps even more noteworthy is the woman who commissioned it.
The eldest daughter of King Thutmose I, Hatshepsut first assumed the role of queen regent during the 18th dynasty after the death of her husband, Thutmose II. Although her stepson, Thutmose III, eventually came of age, she adopted the title of pharaoh and ruled for more than two decades.
She was one of ancient Egypt's first female pharaohs.

While working in Cairo I had the opportunity for a weekend out of the capital. I needed something well planned, seamless and with minimal stress. This company was recommended by my hotel and they did not disappoint. Day one was a full day on the west bank exploring tombs and temples. It was not rushed and I had plenty of time to do my own thing and just wonder around in awe. The guides were always on time, very knowledgable and all has previous experience with tours of all sizes. Drivers were good although the Mini Van for myself alone felt like overkill. Day two was temples on the East side including Karnak and Luxor followed by two hours learning to sail a Felucca. Great guides, no requests for 'extras', everything on time and I never felt rushed. My biggest disappointment was that I needed to return to Cairo!

In august 2017 i hired the private tour to Cairo and Luxor from this agency during my anual vacation planning. It was going to be the first time in Egypt and I did the search and deals using the internet. When I arrived Cairo airport, Ms Nahla was already waiting for me and had the plan ready for the next days. She planned my stay in Egypt with perfection and I was able to visit all important places in a very otpimized and productive way. After Cairo, we also met in Luxor, where she also made herself a great guide as she has impressive knowledge of the history and the sites. I am really glad I found the private tour company because i really used my trip time to visit, explore and enjoy, rather than taking care of day planning. Next year I will go back and take my friends with me.It was our amazing and unforgettable trip to Luxor!
