Valley of the Kings
The Valley of the Kings is where the modern myth of Egypt began with Howard Carter’s discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb, complete with all of the treasures with which he had been buried, in 1922. The fame of that discovers ushered in a new era of Egyptian tourism as the treasures of Tutankhamun toured the world and generated new, widespread interest in the history of Ancient Egypt. The valley is not very impressive at first glance. It is not much more than a sun-blasted gorge of generic, red rock, but hidden underneath the earth are the tombs of nearly 70 pharaohs. Excavation is ongoing in some of them, but many are open to visitors on a rotating schedule to allow for restoration. Seeing the ornate decorations on the walls of these tombs and imagining the painstaking process necessary to create them is well worth the visit even in the hottest months.
Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari
In terms of visual impact from afar, there is no rival to Hatshepsut’s Temples. The unique multi-tiered structure nestled up against the limestone cliffs at the shoulder of the river valley is a truly stunning sight. The uniqueness of its layout mirrors that of the pharaoh responsible for building it. Hatshepsut was the only female pharaoh in the history of Ancient Egypt. She came to power during the New Kingdom after the death of her father, Tuthmose I, and her half-brother and husband, Tuthmose II, who succeeded her father on the throne. She originally served as queen-regent to her husband's son by another wife, Tuthmose III, but seized the throne from him and managing to hold onto power until her death. However, Hatshepsut’s status as the only female to rule Egypt is not the only reason for her fame. She was also a very successful pharaoh. She ruled over an era of peace and prosperity, expanding lucrative trade routes to the land of Punt in the south.

5.00We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Abdulla, has excellent English and gave us fascinating insight about the hieroglyphics, the architecture and history. A big thank you also goes to Mohamed & Mostafa at the Jolie Ville travel desk for organising the tour and of course Mosa our driver for looking after us.

5.00Had a very well organized tour and were thrilled to have a brilliant guide and driver both called Mustafa with whom we spent 5 days touring Luxor, Aswan and Abu Simbal. Mustafa is an ex school teacher with a wealth of knowledge about Egypt and we were grateful to learn so much from him. Would recommend to anyone!

5.00I tried to book a Nile Cruise but it was too late and no places available, Mr Hany prepared a wonderful alternative by car from Luxor to Aswan and day trip to Abu Simbel, that was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING AND UNFORGETTABLE, with a fantastic tour guide, Mr Yasser who helped us through all our adventure in perfect spanish, with remarkable punctuality, politeness, respect and professionalism. Hotel booking was excellent in both cities, all handled by Mr Hany from Luxor and Aswan Travel. I hope I can travel with them again. Beautiful country, beautiful people and the wonders you’ll see will be forever in your heart.
Best travel trip!

5.005 stars experience!!! I had the pleasure to visit the West Bank (Valley of the Kings, Valley of the Queens, Ramses III temple, Hatshepsut Temple) with a well prepared and passionate guide Ahmed Drwish. I would recommend the private tour with him, Ahmed is a very kind and honest guy, passionate about the history of his magnificent country and he was able to transfer me the same passion and appreciation.
Private tour to Wesr Bank, Karnak temple and transfer Luxor to Soma Bay

5.00We wanted to a 1/2 day private tour to the West Bank of Luxor at our own time and without shopping stops. We inquired at 3 travel agencies and Hany from Luxor and Aswan travel replied almost instantaneous (the other 2 never even came back). Hany was very responsive and within 10 min our tour was booked and paid. The next morning Gouda our german speaking guide arrived at our hotel with the driver at the agreed time. He was extremely knowledgable and gave us lots of information from start to end. At the end we wanted to eat something in Luxor and were prepared to take a taxi back to the hotel. The driver insisted on waiting and driving us back. We were so please that we asked if Gouda could show us around the next morning at the Karnak temple, which Hany made possible (incl. a free transfer). Given the good experience we also booked our trip back to Soma Bay with Luxor and Aswan travel. Needless to say the driver was very professional (I had some bad experience with others that thought they are on a F1 race…). As agreed on all trips there were no shopping stops and we could do all the sightseeing at our pace and relaxed manner. Hany was all the time in contact with us (through whats up) and made sure everything went as expected. I know there is always some doubt if you book through a web page in a foreign country but I can really recommend Hany and Luxor and Aswan travel, its,exactly how you wish things are organized and delivered.
