Half-Day Tour to the West Bank of Luxor , Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut & Colossi (Private Egyptologist)

For many travelers, this is the Luxor half‑day that feels like the real thing: the royal tombs of the New Kingdom, a cliff‑cut temple built to announce a woman’s reign, and two colossal statues that have been holding position for more than 3,000 years.Cross to Luxor’s West Bank, the royal necropolis of ancient Thebes, where Egypt’s most protected stories were sealed into stone and painted into color that still reads with astonishing clarity. Your morning begins in the Valley of the Kings, where pharaohs were laid to rest in tombs carved deep into the mountains. Inside, you’ll visit a selection of chambers and take time to study the vivid wall paintings, scenes designed as a map through the afterlife, preserved for millennia.Next, arrive at the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir El Bahari, one of Egypt’s most striking architectural statements. Built into the cliffs by the country’s pioneering female pharaoh, its terraces and colonnades create a setting that feels engineered for impact, clean lines, dramatic backdrop, and a story that still surprises.Your final stop is the Colossi of Memnon, two towering statues of Amenhotep III standing as silent guardians of the West Bank. It’s the classic Luxor photograph, but also a powerful way to end: a monument scaled for eternity, still doing its job.Door-to-door transfers keep the route seamless, with a premium refreshment touch during the short drives, because the best “bucket‑list” mornings are measured by how smoothly they run.
