Itinerary

What you'll do on the day.

Your guide and driver will meet you at your hotel to begin a fascinating exploration of Luxor’s ancient wonders. The day starts on the West Bank, where you’ll stand before the colossal statues of Amenhotep III known as the Colossi of Memnon. Continue to the magnificent Temple of Queen Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari, a stunning structure carved into the cliffs that celebrates one of Egypt’s most powerful female rulers. Next, venture into the Valley of the Kings, the royal necropolis of the New Kingdom, where pharaohs such as Tutankhamun were laid to rest in elaborately decorated tombs. Afterward, visit a local alabaster workshop to observe traditional stone-carving techniques passed down through generations. Enjoy lunch at a quality local restaurant before crossing the Nile to the East Bank. Here, you’ll explore the vast Karnak Temple Complex, the largest religious site ever constructed, featuring the awe-inspiring Hypostyle Hall and the towering obelisk of Hatshepsut. Conclude your day at the graceful Luxor Temple, located in the heart of the city, once the focal point of the ancient Opet Festival celebrating the renewal of kingship. As the tour ends, you’ll be comfortably transferred back to your hotel, carrying unforgettable memories of Luxor’s ancient glory. Meals: Lunch Overnight: Not included (return to hotel)
