See the Highlights of Luxor’s West Bank in Just 6 Hours

Start your adventure by taking a minivan from your hotel or river port to the west bank of the Nile. Along the way, your guide from Next Holiday Travel will mesmerize you with stories of the Valley of the Kings, a burial ground that was part of the ancient city of Thebes, which is now modern-day Luxor. You can even ask the guide to talk about the subjects that interest you, thus making the tour unique. When you get to the rough rocks, take a brief halt at the visitor center of the valley before going into the graves. Even though guides do not go inside the graves, they will be there to explain in detail what you will see. Walk through the corridors decorated with bright hieroglyphs and murals, where once the remains of ancient kings were actually laid. A few tombs or activities may require a small additional charge.

Next, visit the Temple of Hatshepsut an extraordinary structure set into the cliffs with terraces and colonnades. Walk the courtyards and admire the statues and reliefs and inscriptions decorating the Temple, all while learning about Queen Hatshepsut, Egypt's first female pharaoh.

The Colossi of Memnon are two colossal statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III that once flanked his mortuary temple. Photograph them, listen to curious tales about the statues, and see inscriptions left there by Roman visitors so very many centuries ago.
Optionally, you can stop at a local alabaster workshop to watch artisans at work and purchase unique souvenirs.

Finally, your day concludes with a return transfer to your hotel or cruise ship in Luxor.
