Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut, and Medinet Habu Private Tour
This isn’t your average tick-the-box tour — it’s a deep dive into the soul of ancient Egypt, guided by real locals who know every hidden story behind each stone. We take care of your comfort from the moment we pick you up — your personal guide and driver ensure a smooth, AC-cooled ride all day long.
You’ll explore legendary sites like the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, Habu Temple, and the mighty Colossi of Memnon — not just with a guide, but with someone passionate about making history come alive.
After visiting Hatshepsut Temple, we’ll stop by a local alabaster bazaar — see ancient carving techniques in action, no pressure to buy, just watch, learn, and enjoy.
We also believe your experience should feel personal, not packaged. That’s why we give you the freedom to choose your lunch spot — whether you want authentic Egyptian flavors or something more familiar, we’ve got you.
And when the adventure comes to a close, we’ll take you back to your hotel safe.

Valley of the Kings
Your unforgettable day begins with a seamless hotel pickup, where both your dedicated tour guide and friendly driver will greet you warmly. Settle into our modern, air-conditioned vehicle as we kick off a day of discovery and wonder through the heart of ancient Egypt — in total comfort and style. Our first destination is the legendary Valley of the Kings, a UNESCO World Heritage site that served as the final resting place for Egypt’s most powerful pharaohs. Walk in the footsteps of kings as you explore the elaborately decorated tombs carved deep into the desert hills. Your standard admission ticket (EGP 750) grants access to three tombs, with the option to enhance your experience by visiting some of the most iconic burial chambers: Tutankhamun's Tomb – EGP 700 Ramesses VI Tomb – EGP 220 Seti I Tomb – EGP 2000
Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari
We then continue to the awe-inspiring Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, nestled beneath the towering cliffs of Deir el-Bahri. This majestic structure, with its tiered terraces and harmonious design, honors one of Egypt’s most powerful female rulers. Admission ticket (EGP 440) grants access to explore the temple and its impressive reliefs that tell stories of divine birth and trade expeditions. After the temple, we'll make a brief stop at a local Alabaster workshop — a traditional bazaar where generations of artisans have passed down the ancient techniques of carving and shaping this beautiful stone. You’ll get a fascinating look at how alabaster was crafted in Pharaonic times, using simple tools and skilled hands — just like the ancient Egyptians did. There’s absolutely no pressure to buy anything here. If something catches your eye, that’s great — and if not, you’re free to simply enjoy the experience and walk away with nothing but a deeper appreciation for this timeless craft.
Temple of Medinat Habu
Our journey leads us to the lesser-known gem of Luxor’s West Bank: Medinet Habu, the mortuary temple of Ramesses III. Unlike any other temple in Egypt, Habu boasts massive pylons, vivid battle scenes, and remarkably well-preserved wall carvings that provide insight into Egypt’s military history. The admission fee is EGP 220, and every pound is worth the walk through this monumental complex.
