Step back thousands of years and experience ancient Egypt like never before on this exclusive private tour of Luxor’s West Bank, led by your own professional Egyptologist guide. From soaring above temples at sunrise to exploring remarkably preserved tombs, this journey blends adventure, history, and discovery into one unforgettable day.
Start with a Magical Sunrise Balloon Ride
Your day begins early with hotel pick-up, followed by an unforgettable 45-minute hot air balloon flight over Luxor. Watch the sun rise above lush fields, temples, and ancient ruins—an awe-inspiring introduction to the land of the pharaohs.
(Pick-up time depends on your hotel’s location and distance from the ballooning area.)
After landing, your guide will be waiting to escort you to Luxor’s legendary West Bank.
Medinet Habu – Temple of Ramses III
Your first stop is Medinet Habu, home to the magnificent mortuary temple of Ramses III, one of ancient Egypt’s most powerful rulers. Marvel at the massive entrance—63 meters wide and 22 meters tall—and admire the vivid reliefs that still proudly depict the pharaoh’s victories and religious devotion.
The Tombs of the Nobles
Next, explore the fascinating Valley of the Nobles, which contains over 500 tombs belonging to ancient Egypt’s elite—officials, scribes, and administrators. Step inside selected tombs to admire their colorful wall paintings, which remain beautifully preserved due to being less targeted by grave robbers than royal tombs.
Deir el-Medina – Village of the Tomb Builders
Your final historical stop is Deir el-Medina, the ancient village of the skilled artisans who carved and decorated the royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings. This site offers rare insight into daily life, beliefs, and craftsmanship in ancient Egypt.
Relax with a Local Lunch
After your explorations, enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, then sit back and relax as you’re dropped off at your hotel or chosen location, filled with memories from an extraordinary day.
Begin your extraordinary adventure with an early morning pickup from your hotel in Luxor. Transfer to the hot air balloon launch site in comfortable transportation.
Experience the magic of floating above Luxor at sunrise. Enjoy breathtaking aerial views of the Nile River, green farmlands, ancient temples, and the vast West Bank as the sun rises over the horizon. This unforgettable flight lasts approximately 45 minutes.
After landing, meet your private professional Egyptologist guide who will accompany you for the rest of the tour and take you deeper into the history of Luxor’s West Bank.
Explore the impressive mortuary temple of Ramses III at Medinet Habu. Admire its massive entrance, towering walls, and remarkably preserved reliefs depicting battles, rituals, and royal achievements.
Continue to the Valley of the Nobles, home to hundreds of decorated tombs belonging to Egypt’s elite officials and scribes. Step inside selected tombs to view vibrant wall paintings that showcase daily life, religious beliefs, and ancient traditions.
Visit the fascinating workers’ village of Deir el-Medina, where the artisans who built and decorated the royal tombs once lived. Learn about their daily lives, families, and extraordinary craftsmanship.
Enjoy a relaxing traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant after your morning of exploration.
