Luxor East & West Bank Full Day Tour

4.9 (214)

See both banks of the Nile in a single private day: the great temples of Karnak and Luxor, 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, and the elegant Luxor Temple in the heart of the city. 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.

Because it is fully private, the pace is yours. Linger longer where a story catches you, skip what does not, and stop for lunch at a spot your guide trusts.
