Your Luxor sightseeing tours begin with a comprehensive East and West Bank day tour, revealing the city's most iconic landmarks and ancient wonders. Known as the world’s greatest open-air museum, Luxor offers countless things to do and see, making it a highlight of your Egypt tour.
Start your exploration with a visit to the Valley of the Kings, the famed burial ground of the New Kingdom pharaohs. Here, you'll delve into the history of Egypt as you explore the elaborate tombs, including those of Ramses the Great, one of Egypt's most powerful and celebrated rulers.
Next, visit the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, a stunning mortuary temple built into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari. As one of the few female pharaohs, Hatshepsut’s reign marked a prosperous era in Egypt's history, and her temple stands as a testament to her architectural ambition and innovative rule.
Continue to the Colossi of Memnon, two massive stone statues that have stood for millennia guarding the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III. These impressive figures are steeped in legend and are a striking symbol of the grandeur of ancient Egypt.
In the afternoon, your tour takes you to the East Bank, where you'll explore the magnificent Karnak Temples. This vast complex is dedicated to the Theban gods and features a stunning array of temples, pylons, and obelisks that reflect the glory of Egypt’s New Kingdom period.
Conclude the day at the Temple of Luxor, a majestic structure that was once connected to Karnak by the Avenue of Sphinxes. The temple’s impressive architecture and beautiful reliefs illustrate the power and religious devotion of ancient Egypt, providing a perfect end to your Luxor adventure.
