Day 1 : Luxor

Location:

Luxor

Luxor -West bank
At the beginning of your tour, you will cross the Nile to the West bank where you will visit the Valley of the Kings. The Pharaohs were hiding their mummies and treasures in this barren desert area. Many of these treasures were found in these beautiful colored tombs. You can visit three tombs to enjoy the colors and murals on the walls. The tombs were carved deep in the mountain rock; you have the option to visit other royal tombs such as Tut Ankh Amun
Then continue your tour on the west bank and drive to the mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut. She is the first female pharaoh in ancient Egypt who ruled the kingdom for 20 prosperous years. This temple is called El Deir el Bahari as the early Christians used the Northern monastery, as it was a Coptic monastery. Unlike the other temples, this one was built of limestone and partly hewn in the mother bedrock. It has three terraces and its focal point is to tell the story of the Divine birth of the Queen.
The final stop will be at the colossi of Memnon. The Colossi of Memnon are two monumental statues representing king Amenhotep III of the 18th Dynasty of Egypt. They are located west of the modern city of Luxor and face east looking toward the Nile River. The statues depict the seated king on a throne with some other carvings of his mother, his wife, the god Hapi, the Nile god, and other symbolic engravings. Both are carved from single blocks of sandstone and the name refers to the Greek hero Memnon who fell in the Trojan War

Day 2 : Luxor

Location:

Luxor

Luxor -East bank
After breakfast, the tour begins with the Karnak temple, which is a complex of temples. The temple is dedicated to Amun Ra, the chief god in Egyptian mythology. Enjoy the Great Hypostyle court and the reliefs and murals that were added through the generations. Feel astonished at the tall obelisks 70 feet high and cut from a single piece of granite. Look at the statues of the different pharaohs who want to show their loyalty to Ra. Keep an eye on the magnificent tall columns and their papyrus and Lotus capitals while their shafts are loaded with hieroglyphics.
Originally Luxor temple and Karnak were connected with the Ram-Headed Sphinxes Avenue. The connection was to celebrate the annual visit of Ra from Karnak to his wife Mut in Luxor. The temple of Luxor witnessed many historical eras and has its extensions and additions along the ages. Different structures and murals show the Greek, Roman, Islamic, and Coptic influences.
Stare at the statues and obelisks of Ramses II. There should be two obelisks at the entrance of the temple but one of them was sent to Paris

Excellent Service and High quality, highly recommended. My friend Aldrich and I had a great time in Egypt, courtesy of Your Egypt Tours. They ensured that we were safe and well taken care of. Many thanks to Mona on helping us plan for this trip. Also many thanks to Ahmed and Mustafah for meeting us and bring us from the airport and helping us with logistics. Also we are very thankful to Mamdouh and Tarek for being excellent and knowledgeable tour guides. Furthermore we are grateful for the excellent and safe driving from Rafat in Cairo and Hamdi in Luxor.

Wow! We just wrapped up an incredible 2 day visit to Cairo with Your Egypt Tours. This was my partner and I’s first visit to Egypt and we can’t say enough great things about our experience. From start to finish they took care of all of the details of our trip. Mona helped us to select the right itinerary for our short stay in Cairo and was clear, timely, and professional in all of her communication. We were picked up from the airport, guided through the visa and customs process, and rode in a lovely private van to our hotel with the help of Ahmed. Driving in Cairo is no easy feat and our driver Raf made us feel incredibly comfortable. We chose to visit the pyramids our first day and check out Cairo, the Khan el Khalili bazaar, and the Egyptian museum on our second day. Our guide, Mamdouh, was truly incredible. His knowledge, fun attitude, and professionalism made our experience so memorable. He is also a great photographer! Every detail of each day was taken care of including coordinating entrance fees, identifying which local vendors were reputable, and giving us a chance to learn more about the Egyptian culture. Every person we interacted with in the tour group is so welcoming and made us look forward to our next visit to Egypt. If you are looking for the best tour experience on your trip, Your Egypt Tours is it! 10/10.

Fantastic experience on the Sunset Camel Ride. I thought we were going in a group but turns out it was just my husband and I. Hatem our guide was absolutely amazing and so was our car driver. The camel guys were great! We sat and watched the sun set over the pyramids. Best experience and highly recommend Your Egypt Tours ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We are so blessed to have the opportunity to tour Egypt with Your Egypt Tours! They guided us from the moment we landed in Cairo, traveling to Aswan, guiding our journey along the Nile, traveling from Luxor to Cairo and ensuring our safe return home. Every guide and driver was welcoming and warm. They truly made us feel at home in Egypt. We felt safe and well taken care of with the Your Egypt Tours team. Without the care, attention to detail and warmth of the team our time in Egypt wouldn't have been as magical. We celebrated my 30th birthday here and the team truly went above and beyond to ensure I had an amazing birthday in Cairo. We cannot recommend this company and team enough for your time in Egypt.

Terrific experience - I highly recommend Your Egypt Tours! I found this tour company online and ended up booking a 3 day / 2 night tour of Cairo from Taba. The tour agent, Mona Hamdy, did a great job of communicating and organizing the perfect private tour to fit my needs. Mr. Taha Marie, my personal tour guide and Egyptologist, was extremely knowledgeable and always eager to share information about his home country and its long and fascinating history. I found that having my own private tour guide, as well as my own driver, was the perfect way to see and appreciate the many interesting sights in a short amount of time. I felt completely safe at all times and I found the Egyptian people to be kind and welcoming. My heartfelt thanks go out to Your Egypt Tours for an unforgettable trip!
