We start at the Valley of the Kings where you will descend into 3 Royal Tombs. Next is a visit to the mortuary Temple of Queen Hatchepsut in Deir ElBahari with the beautiful murals, and you'll have time to wander around yourself. We continue for a quick photo-stop at the Colossi of Memnon, two immense statues guarding the ongoing excavation of the palace of Amenophis III. After lunch at a good local restaurant we drive to the East Bank to the Karnak Temple to show you where Pharaohs like Tutankhamun, Hatchepsut and Ramses II performed their sacred rituals. From the Karnak Temple we conclude the day at the Luxor Temple, gracefully decorates the banks of the river Nile and is dedicated to the Rejuvenation of Kingship and centre of the Opet Festival. At the end of the tour you will be brought to your Luxor hotel accommodation. The next day you will be brought to Luxor International Airport for a domestic flight to Cairo International Airport.

Nous avons utilisé cette agence pour notre voyage à Luxor et que dire... Cette agence a la chance de posséder un employé exceptionnel du nom de Kamal, qui s'est occupé de nous comme des membres de sa famille et qui ; grâce à sa bonne humeur, sa réactivité, ses contacts, son professionnalisme et sa gentillesse sans limite, nous a fait passé un moment inoubliable dans cette magnifique ville qu'est Luxor. Cet homme a été notre coup de cœur du voyage et j'espère que l'on se reverra bientôt!! Merci encore Kamal pour tout !! 😘

I would like to thank Egbride Tours for an absolutely perfect day. We visited the west & east bank a very busy day, but they were so organised everything ran so smoothly they it easy & memorable. The transportation was excellent, so clean, the driver was always on time to pick us up & drop us off. The tour guide had great patience with us as we had many many questions as the history is so vast. We certainly will recommend Egbride as they were very professional.

Fantastic!

We arrived at EGBride at 9.am hoping to book a tour for the same day. Kamal was amazing, he arranged a private tour to the Valley of the Kings for us within an hour! Our guide Shareem was fantastic, very knowledgeable, and passionate about Egyptian history. Would definitely highly recommend this company.
