Itinerary and highlights

At 7:00 PM, our licensed tour guide will pick you up from your hotel or Nile cruise in Aswan. You will then be transferred by private A/C vehicle to Luxor, which is located 280 km north of Aswan. You will arrive in Luxor at 10:00 AM and start your day tour by visiting the West Bank of the Nile. Here, you will explore the Valley of the Kings, which is known for its grand and impressive architecture that was used for burials. Many kings have been buried in this valley, including King Tutmosis I, Tutmosis III, Tut-Ankh-Amon, King Ramssess VI, King Mrenptah and Amonhotep II.

Afterwards, you will visit the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, also known as El Dir El Bahari. The temple was constructed by Queen Hatshepsut, daughter of Thutmosis I, who reigned over ancient Egypt for about 20 years during the 18th Dynasty (approximately 1490-1469 B.C). She is the only pharaonic woman to have ruled Egypt. Your tour will then continue to the Colossi of Memnon, which are the remains of the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III.

Lunch will be served at a local restaurant, but beverages are not included in the tour.

Next, continue your day tour to the Colossi of Memnon, which are the remains of the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III.

After exploring the West Bank, your day tour will continue to the East Bank, where you will visit two of the most remarkable temples in Egypt: Karnak and Luxor Temples. Karnak Temple is a testament to the grandeur of worship in ancient Egyptian history, dedicated to the God Amun, his wife Mut, and their son Khonsu. You will have approximately 3 hours to explore this magnificent temple complex.

After visiting Karnak Temple, continue your day tour to the Temple of Luxor. This temple was built during the 18th Dynasty of the New Kingdom by Amunhotep III and later completed by Ramesses II during the 19th Dynasty.
