Luxor East & West Bank Full Day Tour

4.8 (215)

See both banks of the Nile in a single private day: the great temples of Karnak and the Valley of the Kings , plus the royal tombs and mortuary temples of the West Bank.

Overview

This is our most complete Luxor experience, designed for travelers who have one full day and want to see the highlights of ancient Thebes without feeling rushed. Your private Egyptologist meets you at your hotel or Nile cruise and plans the day around the heat and the crowds, not a fixed timetable.

On the East Bank you explore Karnak, the largest religious complex ever built,. Crossing to the West Bank, you descend into the painted tombs of the Valley of the Kings, stand before the terraces of Hatshepsut's temple, and pause at the towering Colossi of Memnon.

And because the tour is entirely private, the rhythm is your rhythm: extend your stop where a story captivates you, and take the photos, and record your special memorial videos, and skip over what does not concern you, then head to have the lunch meal in a luxurious tourist restaurant

  • Descend into the painted royal tombs of the Valley of the Kings
