Itinerary

• Luxor Day Tour to the East and West Banks
  Your day begins with hotel pickup in Luxor, where your private driver and expert Egyptologist guide accompany you for a full exploration of both the West and East Banks.
• Start on the West Bank at the Colossi of Memnon, the twin monumental statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III rising more than 18 meters high.
• Continue to the Temple of Hatshepsut at El Deir El Bahri, a remarkable cliff-backed sanctuary celebrating one of Egypt’s most notable female rulers, designed as a dramatic series of terraces set into the natural landscape.
• Next, head to the famed Valley of the Kings, the burial ground of New Kingdom royalty, where more than 60 tombs were carved into the mountains, including the celebrated tomb of Tutankhamun. Afterward, pause to experience contemporary local culture with a visit to a traditional alabaster workshop, offering a close look at the craftsmanship Luxor is known for.
• Enjoy lunch at a high-quality local restaurant, then cross to the East Bank for an in-depth visit to the Karnak Temple Complex, the largest religious complex ever constructed. Walk through the impressive Hypostyle Hall and view Hatshepsut’s Obelisk, recognized as the tallest of its kind in Egypt.
• Conclude the day at Luxor Temple, an elegant monument in the heart of the city, historically linked to the renewal of kingship and central to celebrations such as the Opet Festival.
