Aswan Railway Station - Guests will be collected from their hotel in Aswan and transported to Luxor, arriving in approximately 4 hours.

Valley of the Kings - Begin an unforgettable day by traveling to the west bank to explore the Valley of the Kings, where New Kingdom pharaohs carved their tombs into the mountains to conceal their treasures and safeguard their mummies.

Howard Carter House - Visit the domed mud-brick house where Howard Carter resided during his quest 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 adorned with excavation pictures and tools. A precise replica of Tutankhamun’s burial chamber has been constructed at the garden’s edge, along with an exhibition about the tomb’s discovery.

Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari - Discover the mortuary temple of the renowned Queen Hatshepsut at El Deir Bahari and learn about her fascinating story with her nephew.

Tombs of the Nobles - Luxor - Explore 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) - Proceed to the Ramesseum Temple, the memorial temple of Pharaoh Ramses II, located in the Theban necropolis in Upper Egypt, on the west bank of the Nile, across from modern Luxor.

Temple of Medinat Habu - Continue to the Medinat Habu Temple of King Ramses III, the last great warrior pharaoh of the New Kingdom (1550 – 1080 B.C). The temple is well-preserved and decorated with military scenes and texts illustrating the king’s victories, as well as rituals and festivals. A royal palace was attached to the temple’s open forecourt, with priests’ dwellings and administrative units on either side. After the visit, guests will be transferred back to their hotel.
