During your stay in Luxor, you will have the chance to explore the awe-inspiring Valley of the Kings, which served as the original burial site of the young Pharaoh Tutankhamun. The tombs, intricately carved into the rocky desert terrain, are lavishly adorned with treasures intended for the afterlife of the Pharaohs. You will have the opportunity to visit three tombs, although the specific tombs are determined by the Egyptian government in order to preserve them from the large influx of visitors. The tombs are rotated throughout the year, so it is not possible to confirm which ones will be visited prior to your arrival. It is worth noting that King Tut's tomb requires an additional admission fee. Later, you will enjoy a lunch consisting of a falafel sandwich, one bottle of water, and a soft drink.

Afterward, on the return journey, there will be a stop-off at the Colossi of Memnon. These are two colossal statues that depict Amenophis III and face the Nile.

During your visit, you will have the opportunity to marvel at the Obelisk of Ramses II located in front of the 1st Pylon.
