Step beyond the Nile and into the heart of ancient Thebes with a private tour of Luxor’s West Bank—home to the greatest archaeological treasures of Egypt’s New Kingdom. This immersive journey takes you deep into the necropolis of pharaohs, queens, and nobles, where rock-cut tombs, mortuary temples, and colossal statues bear witness to the grandeur of an eternal civilization.
Descend into the Valley of the Kings, where pharaohs like Tutankhamun, Ramses VI, and Seti I were laid to rest with riches meant to follow them into the afterlife. With walls covered in intricate hieroglyphics and celestial imagery, these tombs reveal ancient beliefs about death, rebirth, and divine destiny.

Valley of the Kings – Tombs of the Pharaohs
Your journey begins in the legendary Valley of the Kings, the sacred burial ground of Egypt’s most illustrious rulers. Hidden in the Theban hills, this silent valley holds more than 60 tombs, each one a portal into the afterlife. With your guide, you’ll enter three of the beautifully preserved tombs (included in your ticket), admiring their vivid wall paintings that depict royal rituals, protective spells, and journeys through the underworld.
Your guide will explain the complex beliefs behind the burial practices and help you choose the best tombs available on the day of your visit. If you wish, you can also upgrade to visit the world-famous tomb of Tutankhamun, where the boy king was discovered with his treasures nearly intact.
Temple of Hatshepsut – Egypt’s Queen of Power
Next, visit the magnificent mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut, carved into the cliffs at Deir el-Bahari. As Egypt’s most successful female pharaoh, Hatshepsut broke gender norms and ruled as king, commissioning this masterpiece of design and devotion.
Your guide will walk you through the grand terraces, colonnades, and vibrant reliefs that celebrate her reign, divine birth, and expeditions to the Land of Punt. The temple’s setting—framed by steep desert cliffs—makes it one of the most striking in all of Egypt.
Colossi of Memnon – Guardians of Thebes
Finally, stop for photos and stories at the towering Colossi of Memnon, two seated statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III that once stood at the entrance of a massive mortuary temple lost to time. Despite centuries of earthquakes and erosion, these statues remain standing as silent witnesses to the glory of ancient Thebes.
Listen as your guide shares the legends of the “singing statues,” once believed to emit musical tones at dawn—a sound that captivated ancient travelers and Roman emperors alike.
