Experience the fascinating Valley of the Kings with your own qualified Egyptologist guide on this 4-hour morning private tour from Luxor.

Hear about the different tombs from your informative guide, and then descend underground to see the richly decorated tunnels and chambers of the tombs of rulers such as Ramses III, Ramses XI and Merenptah.

Watch the sun rise over Luxor from an unbeatable vantage point--the sky--with this hot air balloon experience.

Private transfers direct from your hotel or cruise ship let you lie in that bit longer.
