Full Day in Luxor East & West Bank

Start your day with a convenient pickup from your Luxor hotel in a private, air-conditioned vehicle. Your professional Egyptologist guide will provide an introduction to the day's itinerary and historical context for the sites you will visit.

Begin your exploration with the Valley of the Kings, the final resting place of Egypt's pharaohs. Visit the intricately decorated tombs, including the famous tomb of Tutankhamun (optional with additional ticket). Learn about the burial practices and the significance of the valley in ancient Egyptian belief systems.

Next, visit the stunning Temple of Hatshepsut, dedicated to one of Egypt’s few female pharaohs. Admire the temple’s unique architecture and learn about Hatshepsut’s reign and her contributions to Egyptian history and culture.

Stop by the Colossi of Memnon, two massive stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III. Your guide will explain the history and legends associated with these impressive monuments, which have stood guard for millennia.

Enjoy a delicious traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant, offering a variety of authentic dishes to choose from.

After lunch, cross back to the East Bank to visit the Karnak Temple Complex, one of the largest religious complexes in the world. Wander through the Great Hypostyle Hall with its forest of giant columns, marvel at the obelisks, and learn about the various pharaohs who contributed to the construction of this awe-inspiring temple over centuries.

Conclude your day with a visit to Luxor Temple, a beautiful and historically significant temple located along the banks of the Nile River. Unlike other temples, Luxor Temple was dedicated to the rejuvenation of kingship. As the day winds down, enjoy the stunning views of the temple as it is beautifully illuminated at night.

Conclude your tour with a drop-off back at your Luxor hotel. Reflect on the day's discoveries and enjoy the rest of your day at leisure.
