The ancient Egyptian sites of the West Bank in Luxor are so widely dispersed that a guided tour is the best way to explore them. Beat the crowds by opting for a private guide and check off the key highlights in just half a day: the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut, and the Colossi of Memnon, including the ongoing excavations at the temples. Your tour package includes snacks, bottled water, and return private transfers, though entrance fees are at your own expense.
