Places You'll Visit

Valley of the Kings

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.

Temple of Hatshepsut

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.

Colossi of Memnon

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.

Just got back from a private excursion from Cairo. Oh my goodness! It was wonderful 👍 I want to thank TUT VOYAGES for their professional work, the drivers were super sweet and kind, the vehicle was a minibus with great AC. Our guide Mustafa is a real pro, knows his Russian and his history well. We visited the Cairo Museum, the pyramids, and rode camels. Mustafa bought all the tickets himself and got us through with no queues. TUT VOYAGES was always reachable. Excellent, responsive managers who answer competently, in detail, patiently and warmly. So we want to book another private trip with TUT VOYAGES soon, this time to Luxor and Dendera.

We went on the Cairo+ excursion, museum + Pyramids, with TUT VOYAGES, loved everything, the bus was comfortable, the guide explains everything really well, we were very happy with the excursion. Today we're heading to Luxor, I think that excursion will make us just as happy.
