Overview
Visit the Luxor Museum and the Valley of Kings which forms an amazing historical trip down memory lane as far as ancient Egypt is concerned. The Luxor Museum, located on the East Bank of the Nile, has a beautiful collection of artifacts found in the temples and tombs in Thebes. Unlike the larger house museums, its well-curated exhibits focus on the intimate experience of beautifully preserved statues, jewelry, and relics from different dynasties. It is a tour of stunning statues of pharaohs like Amenhotep III and Thutmose III, and treasures from Tutankhamun's tomb, giving a closer look at how the ancient Egyptian civilization evolved.
On the West Bank of Luxor, the Valley of the Kings is a necropolis that inspires awe, since here were buried most of the greatest Egyptian rulers. This huge valley in the desert contains more than 60 tombs, some of them famous for their owners, such as Ramses II, Seti I, or the almost mythical boy-king Tutankhamun. The tombs were carved into the depth of the rock and are full of outlines engraved into the surface and bright pictures depicting the route to the afterlife. With entry into these ancient burial sites, visitors can see with their own eyes the magnificent artistic expression and the beliefs of the New Kingdom period, making it an outstanding experience in historical immersion.
This combined tour offers just the right amount of museum and live archaeology to engage most people. While the Luxor Museum presents context and understanding of its grand artifacts taken from Egypt's powerful rulers, the newly opened Valley of the Kings sets history in motion by walking through the final resting places of the pharaohs. This is both an educative and dazzling experience in the very rich heritage of Egypt, whether one is a diehard archaeology lover or just a traveler.

Itinerary
Start your day at the Luxor Museum, an assortment of ancient artifacts painstakingly arranged to present the splendor of Thebes. Admire beautifully preserved statues, royal relics, and magnificent pieces from Tutankhamun's tomb, offering illuminating insight into the artistry and craftsmanship of ancient Egypt. This museum offers a fine introduction before stepping onto the sites where these artifacts were once located.
Then cross westwards to the West Bank of Luxor, where the grand Ramesseum stands. It is the mortuary temple of Ramses II, where much of the grandeur remains, having sculptured statues and carvings of the great pharaoh's military victories, although in ruins. The greatness in its ruins, including the fallen statue of Ramses II, fills the viewer with awe at the whole temple's former grandeur.
Continue the journey into the world-famous Valley of the Kings, where the best kings of Egypt were interred. Explore the exquisitely decorated tombs of pharaohs such as Tutankhamun, Seti I, and Ramses III, all with vibrant colors of ancient hieroglyphs and depictions of the afterlife. Walking into these burial chambers feels like being transported back in time during the glorious New Kingdom era.
End this magnificent tour at the Colossi of Memnon, two gigantic stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, watching silently for over 3,400 years. Rambling survived relics welcome all that are entering now into what was an imposing mortuary temple. Take a moment to reflect on the monumental history and brilliant artistry of ancient Egypt as dusk falls over the desert landscape of Luxor before making your way back.
