Egypt & Israel Tours

As the sun rises over the ancient Valley of the Kings, and the Nile glints in its light, the city of Luxor invites you to its fascinating past. The legacy of Thebes, the once capital of an ancient empire for over 1,350 years, prevails in the city that offers so much. In the dusty streets bustling with merchants, souvenir shops and street sellers you will discover the monumental value of temples, tombs and obelisks.

Retracing the steps of ancient Pharos you can cross the Nile to its west bank, and find their final resting place, buried by the sands of time. The Valley of the Kings, Valley of the Queens and the Tombs of Nobles offer a unique insight into the past as well as an amazing story.
