Description
visiting Luxor with me can be quite overwhelming. The list of archaeological sites and things to do in Luxor is so big that visiting every single temple and tomb would take several days
Therefore, unless you have all the time in the world (which most travelers don't), you have to choose and be pretty organized. Furthermore, most sites tend to be overrun by dozens of tour groups, which could make your visit slightly unpleasant. you will find Ahmed Sabry to beat the crowds and to make you relax and make all this on your behalf
All right. First of all, you need to bear in mind that the West Bank is composed of 14 archaeological sites, plus the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens, spread across a huge area. Visiting them on foot isn't really an option, as several kilometers separate them. The only way to visit them is with a tour group (which sucks), coolest option if you want to do it privately to find me and contact me before I got booked

Pick up from your hotel to the west bank of Luxor, to visit:
- The two Colossal Statues of Amenhotep III (Colossi of Memnon), and then visit,
- The Valley of the Kings, where the magnificent tombs were discovered. Those tombs were carved deep into the desert rock, richly decorated and filled with treasures for the afterlife of the pharaohs, you will visit 3 tombs.

- Hatshepsut temple at El Deir El Bahary dedicated to the Queen Hatshepsut, the only female pharaoh.
- Medinat Habu is a cluster of buildings dominated by the massive open air Temple of Ramses III. Honestly, you would not have believed the scale if it had been in a Hollywood movie.
