Tour the ancient city of Luxor in luxury on a private day
trip from Hurghada. Accompanied by your private Egyptologist
guide you'll see the famous West Bank sites including the
Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut Temple, constructed in
honor of one of the few female rulers of ancient Egypt. Your
private tour also includes a felucca ride on the Nile, and a
horse and carriage ride in Luxor.
Valley of the Kings
The kings' formal names and titles are inscribed in each
tomb, along with their images and statues. The ancient kings
of the 18th to 20th dynasties abandoned the Memphis area and
built their tombs in Thebes (modern-day Luxor). Also
abandoned were the pyramid-style tombs. Instead, most of the
tombs were cut into the limestone following a similar
pattern: three corridors, an antechamber and a sunken
sarcophagus chamber. These catacombs were hard to rob and
easily concealed.
Hatshepsut Temple
A tree-lined avenue of sphinxes led up to the temple, and
ramps led from terrace to terrace. The porticoes on the
lowest terrace were restored in 1906 to protect the
celebrated reliefs depicting the transport of obelisks to
Karnak and the birth of Queen Hatshepsut. Reliefs on the
south side of the middle terrace show the queen's expedition
by way of the Red Sea to Punt, the land of incense.
