Explore Ancient Egypt on the Luxor Valley of the Queens Tour by Bus

Step into the heart of ancient Egypt on this Luxor Valley of the Queens tour by bus, a full-day adventure to discover the lesser-known royal tombs and legendary temples of Luxor. Perfect for history lovers and cultural explorers, this guided trip offers deep insight into one of the most fascinating civilizations on Earth.

After an early morning pickup from your hotel, you’ll journey in a comfortable, air-conditioned bus from Hurghada or your local destination toward the magical city of Luxor. With an expert Egyptologist guide at your side, you’ll explore some of the most impressive and sacred sites in the Nile Valley.

First Stop: Valley of the Queens – Hidden Tombs of Royalty

Your adventure begins with a visit to the Valley of the Queens, a serene and lesser-crowded necropolis where pharaohs’ wives and royal children were laid to rest. Unlike the more famous Valley of the Kings, this site offers a more tranquil and intimate experience with beautifully preserved tombs, colorful hieroglyphs, and incredible carvings. The highlight is the Tomb of Queen Nefertari (optional entrance), renowned for its vibrant artwork and mythological scenes.

Discover the Grandeur of Karnak Temple

Next, head to the Karnak Temple Complex, one of the largest religious structures ever built. Dedicated to the Theban gods, especially Amun-Ra, this sprawling complex features towering columns, majestic obelisks, and sacred lakes. Your guide will take you through the Hypostyle Hall, one of the most photographed spots in Egypt, and explain the significance of each section, from the Avenue of Sphinxes to the Precinct of Amun.

The Powerful Queen: Temple of Hatshepsut

Then it’s off to Deir el-Bahari, where you’ll visit the impressive Temple of Hatshepsut, one of the few female pharaohs in ancient Egyptian history. Carved into limestone cliffs, this multi-level temple is both architectural genius and a political statement of power. Learn about Hatshepsut’s reign, her mysterious disappearance, and her legacy as one of Egypt’s most successful rulers.

Final Stop: Colossi of Memnon

Before heading back, stop at the Colossi of Memnon, two gigantic seated statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III guarding the entrance to what was once the largest temple complex in Luxor. Although weathered by time, these stone giants still stand tall and silent as guardians of history.
