Full Day East & West Bank Tour in Luxor

Discover the highlights of ancient Luxor on a full-day private tour covering both the West and East Banks of the Nile.

We start from your hotel in the morning. Explore some of the most important temples and tombs of ancient Egypt with an experienced Egyptologist guide.

West Bank of Luxor

Begin your day at the Valley of the Kings, the famous royal necropolis where generations of New Kingdom pharaohs were buried. You will visit three tombs included on your entrance ticket. Your Egyptologist guide will explain the beliefs, stories and traditions behind ancient Egyptian funerary culture.

Continue to the magnificent Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, one of ancient Egypt’s most remarkable female rulers. The temple’s terraces and architecture make it one of the most impressive monuments on Luxor’s West Bank.

You will then stop at the Colossi of Memnon, two enormous statues that once stood at the entrance of the great temple of Amenhotep III.

After the morning sightseeing, enjoy a break for lunch at a local Egyptian restaurant before continuing to the East Bank.

East Bank of Luxor

In the afternoon, visit the magnificent Karnak Temple, one of the largest and most impressive religious complexes ever built. Your Egyptologist guide will explain the history of its great pylons, columns, statues and sacred spaces and help you understand how the temple developed over many centuries.

Finish your day at Luxor Temple, beautifully located in the heart of modern Luxor. Here you will discover a fascinating combination of ancient Egyptian history and later periods of Egyptian civilization.
