Full-Day Luxor Tour – East & West Banks
Discover the highlights of ancient Thebes on a full-day guided tour of Luxor’s East and West Banks, home to some of Egypt’s most remarkable temples and tombs.
West Bank
Your day begins with a visit to the Valley of the Kings, burial place of Egypt’s New Kingdom pharaohs, including the famous tombs of Ramses II and Tutankhamun (optional). Continue to the majestic Temple of Queen Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari, a masterpiece of ancient architecture set against dramatic limestone cliffs. Stop at the Colossi of Memnon, two massive seated statues that once guarded a royal mortuary temple.
Lunch
Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant in Luxor (included or optional, depending on your package).
East Bank
In the afternoon, explore the East Bank, starting with the vast Karnak Temple Complex, the largest religious site ever built, featuring the impressive Hypostyle Hall with its towering columns. End the day at Luxor Temple, beautifully located along the Nile and especially atmospheric in the late afternoon.
