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 round-trip private transfers, though entrance fees are at your own expense.
