Start your journey at the Valley of the Kings, the royal burial ground for New Kingdom pharaohs. This necropolis is home to over 60 tombs, including those of Tutankhamun, Ramses III, and Seti I.

The Tomb of Tutankhamun (KV62) is one of the most famous archaeological discoveries in history, primarily due to the relatively intact state in which it was found and the wealth of treasures it contained. Tutankhamun, often referred to as “King Tut,” was a pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty, who reigned from around 1332 to 1323 BCE.

The Tomb of King Merenptah, designated KV8, is located in the Valley of the Kings on the west bank of the Nile, near Luxor. Merenptah was the thirteenth son of Ramses II and succeeded him as the fourth pharaoh of the Nineteenth Dynasty of Egypt.

The Tomb of Ramses IV (KV2) is one of the most accessible and well-decorated tombs in the Valley of the Kings. Ramses IV, the third pharaoh of the Twentieth Dynasty of Egypt, reigned from 1155 to 1149 BCE. His tomb offers a wealth of artistic and religious significance.

The Tomb of Ramses III (KV11) is one of the most fascinating and well-preserved tombs in the Valley of the Kings. It provides a wealth of information about the reign of Ramses III and ancient Egyptian burial practices.

The Carter House, also known as the Howard Carter House, is a historical site located near the Valley of the Kings in Luxor, Egypt. It served as the home and workplace of British archaeologist Howard Carter, who is famous for discovering the tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922.

After that, you’ll have the opportunity to visit the Alabaster Factory, where artisans continue the ancient Egyptian tradition of quarrying and shaping stones. Witness the transformation of raw alabaster into various handcrafted items, just as it was done thousands of years ago.

The Nobles’ Tombs in Luxor, located on the West Bank of the Nile, offer a fascinating glimpse into the lives of high-ranking officials, priests, and nobles of ancient Egypt. These tombs are renowned for their intricate decorations and provide valuable insights into the daily life, culture, and beliefs of the time.

The Ramesseum is a majestic mortuary temple dedicated to Pharaoh Ramesses II, one of ancient Egypt’s most illustrious rulers. Located on the west bank of the Nile near Luxor, this temple complex stands as a testament to the grandeur and architectural prowess of Ramesses II’s reign.

Continue to the Valley of the Queens, where the wives of pharaohs and their children were buried. The valley contains around 90 tombs, including the famous Tomb of Queen Nefertari.

Next, you will visit Habiba Hand Weaving, renowned for its handcrafted scarves made from Egyptian cotton, linen, and wool. Here, local artisans create and sell both handwoven and machine-made scarves and shawls using cotton and cotton blends. Located in a picturesque rural setting on Luxor’s West Bank, with views of the Nobles’ Tombs, this workshop showcases women diligently working with traditional hand looms. You’ll have the unique opportunity to witness and experience firsthand how these skilled women continue the age-old craft of hand weaving pure cotton fabric.

End your tour by Colossi of Memnon are two massive stone statues standing in the Theban necropolis on the west bank of the Nile River, near Luxor. These iconic statues have stood the test of time, serving as monumental guardians to the mortuary temple of Pharaoh Amenhotep III.
