This tour to the West Bank from Luxor, which is a part of our Egypt tours, is sure to deepen your knowledge and respect of Egypt's amazing history.
Leave your hotel or the river port by the minivan. Take it to the west bank of the Nile River; as you drive, listen to stories told by your guide from Next Holiday Travel about the Valley of Kings—a mountain-cut royal necropolis that was once part of Thebes, an ancient capital where Luxor stands today. If there are any specific subjects you would like to know more about, please inform your guide. The tour and commentary can be customized according to your interests. Watch the rugged mountains closely, and once you reach them, there will be a short halt at the valley’s visitors center; from there, explore its inner rock-cut chambers and tunnels. Guides cannot accompany you inside tombs, but your guide will brief you on what is inside each tomb before you enter them. Walk through vivid, hieroglyph-adorned passageways and discover painted rooms that formerly housed the bodies of pharaohs from ancient Egypt. In case you are interested, there is an extra charge at the location.
Next, travel to the Temple of Hatshepsut, a conceptualized representation of geometrically formed columns that are hewn into a cliffside. Educate yourself about the temple's background and the life of Queen Hatshepsut, the first female sovereign of Egypt. Walk around the courtyards and terraces, and observe the statues and glyphs that decorate them.
Then, stop for pictures at the Colossi of Memnon: two overpowering statues of the Pharaoh Amenhotep III, which once stood in his long-deceased temple at his funeral. Listen to the stories and legends regarding the statues, and examine the Roman-era written messages carved into the stone. Before your trip is over, perhaps you can visit an alabaster mine and, if you'd like, purchase some individual pieces of alabaster as souvenirs.
After your day trip is over, we'll transport you to your hotel or cruise ship in Luxor, Egypt.

The budget for a trip can vary greatly depending on the destination, duration, accommodation choices, activities, and personal preferences. Researching average costs, including accommodation, transportation, meals, and attractions, will help you estimate your budget more accurately.
The essential travel documents usually include a valid passport, visas (if required), airline tickets, hotel reservations, travel insurance, and any necessary identification cards. It's always a good idea to make copies of these documents and store them separately as a backup.
Egypt is famous for its ancient historical sites. Some of the must-visit attractions include the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, Luxor Temple, Karnak Temple, Valley of the Kings, Abu Simbel, and the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
The best time to visit Egypt is during the cooler months of October to April when temperatures are more comfortable for exploring the historical sites. However, if you're interested in diving in the Red Sea, the summer months offer warm waters and excellent visibility.
When visiting religious sites such as mosques or temples, it's important to dress modestly out of respect. Both men and women should have their shoulders and knees covered. It's also advisable for women to carry a scarf to cover their hair if needed.
The best months to enjoy the Middle East tours are generally April and May, or October and November, however this can vary depending on where you're traveling and what you want to do. Temperatures are normally pleasant rather than extremely hot during certain hours, though crowds may be strong at some attractions.
The most prevalent mode of transportation is by bus. In the absence of this, you'll typically find shared taxis or tourist buses running routes to major sights (such as Petra in Jordan). While flying is the shortest way to travel between Middle Eastern destinations.
If you wish to take a big tour of the Middle East, you should plan at least a 10-day itinerary of Middle East Packages to allow ample time in each country. You may also need to allow extra time to go from one location to another due to security and border crossings between countries.
