Luxor East and West Bank Tour
In the morning, we will pick you up from your hotel in a private, air-conditioned vehicle to begin your incredible day of exploration.
Karnak Temple
Start your day by visiting the massive Karnak Temple, the largest religious site in the world. With ruins dating back to the 21st century BC and numerous monuments spanning up to the 7th century AD, this temple offers nearly 3,000 years of history in one location.
Luxor Temple
Next, visit Luxor Temple, originally built by Amenhotep III and later expanded by Ramses II. This temple is unique for its combination of Pharaonic, Greco-Roman, Coptic, and Islamic monuments, making it an extraordinary site.
After visiting these two temples, we will proceed along the Nile to reach the ancient cemetery of Thebes.
Lunch
Following the exploration of the East Bank, we’ll stop for a break to enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, where you’ll savor traditional Egyptian cuisine (drinks are not included).
Valley of the Kings
In the afternoon, head to the Valley of the Kings, where you’ll see the tombs of many pharaohs. These tombs, carved into the desert rocks, are richly decorated and filled with treasures for the pharaohs' afterlife. You will visit three of these magnificent tombs.
Temple of Queen Hatshepsut
Continue your tour to the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari. This stunning temple, dedicated to Egypt’s only female pharaoh, rises in a series of terraces from the desert plain and blends beautifully with the surrounding limestone cliffs.
Statue of Memnon
Lastly, visit the Colossi of Memnon, two monumental statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III. These statues were erected to protect his funerary temple and are among the most iconic landmarks in the area.
After completing your tour, your Egyptologist guide will escort you back to your hotel or Nile cruise in Luxor, in the comfort of a private air-conditioned vehicle.
