Místa, která navštívíte
The Valley of the Kings, on the Nile's west bank opposite Luxor, served as the main royal burial ground for pharaohs of the 18th, 19th, and 20th dynasties, roughly 1539 to 1075 BC. More than 60 tombs have been identified, including that of Tutankhamun, and the site has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed 'Ancient Thebes' since 1979.
The mortuary temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari, on the Nile's west bank near Luxor, was built around 1479-1458 BC by her chief architect Senenmut. Known as Djeser-Djeseru, it rises in three colonnaded terraces cut into the cliffs, a design distinct from other Egyptian temples, and was dedicated to the sun god Amun-Ra alongside Hatshepsut's own funerary cult.
The Colossi of Memnon are two 18-metre-tall quartzite statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, erected around 1350 BC to guard the entrance of his now-ruined mortuary temple on Luxor's west bank. Carved from stone quarried near modern Cairo and hauled some 675 km to Thebes, they were famously said by ancient Greek visitors to sing at dawn.

We always use TUT VOYAGES Travel's services in Egypt. This time from Hurghada we booked a small-group excursion to Luxor. My son, my grandfather and I were thrilled! The small group had 9 people from two neighboring hotels, so no one had to wait around. In Luxor our guide Ali met us. He speaks excellent Russian and knows his history. He also helped us pick out souvenirs. A nice bonus was getting back to the hotel earlier than stated (around 6pm instead of 10pm), while still visiting every stop on the program without any rushing. The advantages of a small group: everyone can hear the guide, there's more time for extra questions, and free time for photos without waiting on each other.
I want to thank you for the Luxor hot air balloon excursion, we took the private one for three people. At 4:30pm a minivan picked us up, and along the way a Russian-speaking operator called us through the driver and gave us all the instructions, around 9pm we were settled into our hotel in Luxor. We even got to stroll the beautiful promenade along the Karnak Temple. At 5:40am they picked us up from the hotel and took us to the balloons. The thrill of the flight is beyond words. Right after the flight we were handed back to our driver and got back to Hurghada by 1pm. Our driver Muhammad was flawless. On site there's also a photographer who offers his services separately, and he edits the video too, and sends a link to the photos and video the next day. Cost is $10 per person. A memory for a lifetime! We booked through VK, thanks to the operators, they reply within a few minutes and answer every question. We paid the deposit for the trip online in rubles, your choice of bank. Excellent, everything precise, fast, organized! And of course, the excursion prices are way lower than the tour operators. Thank you for the emotions! 😍😍😍🤝
