Nefertari Cycling Tour: Pedal Through Egypt’s Timeless Landscapes

Embark on a 6-hour cycling adventure on the west bank of Luxor that blends ancient history with modern rural life. Ride through verdant fields where sugar cane, wheat, corn, and clover thrive, and witness firsthand the daily life of local farmers using tools reminiscent of those seen on ancient tombs. This tour takes you past striking landscapes that have remained much the same since 1500 BC, with vivid scenes echoing the artistry of ancient Egyptian wall paintings. Cycle to the impressive Memnon Colossi, then explore a traditional village of workers and artisans whose homes and tombs tell the story of those who adorned the tombs in the Valley of the Kings. Continue your journey to the Valley of the Queens, where you’ll visit the tomb of Queen Titi and her son Prince Amun, and finally, pedal to the remarkably preserved Habu Temple, where intricate carvings—including 30cm-deep battle scenes against the Sea Peoples—bring history to life. A local lunch rounds off this immersive experience before you return to your hotel by car.
