Places You'll Visit
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 Karnak Temple Complex in Luxor, Egypt, is the largest ancient religious site in the world, centered on the Precinct of Amun-Re and built up over 2,000 years by successive pharaohs from the Middle Kingdom through the Ptolemaic period. Its hypostyle hall alone contains 134 columns, and the complex is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ancient Thebes.

Good afternoon. I wanted to thank you for the Luxor + Dendera excursion we took on March 23, 2025. Nina was our guide. It was so fascinating and interesting — Nina even managed to get our teenage kids engaged. Thank you so much.
Good afternoon. Thank you to you, your company and everyone who took part in organizing and running our excursions. The trip to Luxor and Dendera is our favorite! It was wonderful, beautiful and unforgettable. I realized I love diving, even though I was skeptical about it at first. Thanks to the excellent briefing and the excellent instructor who came with us, everything went just perfectly, I wanted more and more!!! Cairo has always been my dream, and it came true! My advice — don't try to save money, fly there by plane. All the huge pluses completely outweigh the small minuses, which aren't really TUT VOYAGES' fault anyway. Our flight out of Cairo was delayed 4 hours, but they fed us and there was a comfortable place to wait. We waited 40 minutes for the Luxor transfer, which admittedly isn't great, but consider how much money we saved compared to buying all this through our hotel guide. The diving was beyond praise, perfect! Overall, a solid 5 stars. Great job team, keep it up!
