East and West Bank Luxor

Embark on a captivating journey with a NASCO Tours representative to explore Luxor’s most iconic sites. Begin at the Valley of the Kings, also known as the Valley of the Gates of the Kings.
This iconic site served as the royal burial ground for nearly 500 years during
the New Kingdom period, from the Eighteenth to the Twentieth Dynasties. Carved
into the cliffs of a desert wadi on the west bank of the Nile—directly across
from ancient Thebes (modern-day Luxor)—this sacred valley is the final resting
place of pharaohs and powerful nobles. Nestled within the Theban Necropolis, the Valley is home to
some of the most beautifully decorated tombs in Egypt, showcasing intricate
wall paintings and hieroglyphs that have survived thousands of years. Continue to the Temple of Hatshepsut, an architectural masterpiece honoring Egypt’s most powerful female ruler. Visit the towering Colossi of Memnon, the last remnants of Amenhotep III’s mortuary temple. Cross to the East Bank to marvel at the vast Karnak Temple, filled with colossal columns and obelisks. Conclude at Luxor Temple, adorned with statues and hieroglyphics, linked to Karnak by the Avenue of Sphinxes. This immersive tour showcases the wonders of ancient Egyptian architecture and artistry. Your adventure ends with a return to your hotel, leaving you with unforgettable memories.
