Luxor - Valley of the Kings - Cookery & Meal
Start your day with a transfer to Cairo Airport for a one-hour flight to Luxor. Upon arrival, head straight to the Valley of the Kings, where you’ll explore the ancient tombs of Egypt’s pharaohs, each adorned with vivid wall paintings and intricate carvings. Continue on to the Temple of Hatshepsut, an architectural masterpiece dedicated to one of Egypt's most powerful female rulers. Complete the tour with a visit to the Colossi of Memnon, two imposing statues that have stood guard over the landscape for millennia. This part of the tour lasts approximately 4-5 hours. Afterward, enjoy lunch before checking into your hotel for a bit of rest. Later in the afternoon, visit a local farmer’s home, where you’ll experience authentic Egyptian hospitality. Join your hosts in preparing a traditional dinner, including a hands-on lesson in making local bread and "fiteer" (a flaky layered pastry). Enjoy the meal you’ve prepared together and share in stories and laughter, gaining a genuine taste of life in rural Luxor.
