Explore both banks of the Nile on a private full-day tour, visiting Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut and the Colossi of Memnon.
This is our most complete Luxor experience, designed for travelers who have one full day and want to discover the highlights of ancient Thebes at a comfortable pace. Your private licensed Egyptologist meets you at your hotel or Nile cruise in Luxor and helps shape the day around the weather, crowds and your interests.
