Full Day Tour to Luxor from Aswan
Overview
Enjoy a unique experience in Luxor from Aswan through one of our unforgettable excursions that will allow you to explore one of the most famous cities in the world.
With Cairo Top Tours, you will have the opportunity to live an exceptional experience that takes you to the ancient era through an excursion to the city of Luxor. Formerly known as Thebes, it was the capital of Egypt in the Pharaonic era, located on the banks of the Nile River, which divides it into two parts, the eastern and western mainland.
On the west bank of Luxor, you can explore The Valley of the Kings, also known as the Valley of the Pipan of the Kings, is a valley in Egypt that was used for 500 years, between the sixteenth and eleventh centuries BC, to build tombs for the pharaohs and nobles of the New Kingdom during the XVIII to XX dynasties of Ancient Egypt, located on the west bank of the Nile River, opposite Thebes (present-day Luxor), in the heart of the ancient funerary city of Thebes. The Valley of the Kings is divided into two valleys: the eastern (where most of the royal tombs are located) and the western.
You will also have the opportunity to take a look at the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut. It is a group of pharaonic temples and tombs located on the west bank of the Nile, in front of the city of Luxor (Egypt). It was built by Queen Hatshepsut to perform rituals that would benefit her in the other world, while the name Al-Deir Al-Bahri is a modern Arabic name given to this area in the seventh century AD after the Copts used this temple as a monastery. The temple consists of three ascending amphitheaters connected by inclined platforms for ascending and descending. The first monument built on this site was the funerary temple of Mentuhotep II, of the 11th Dynasty, during the 21st century BC.
Also on the west bank, you can see the two colossi of Memnon, known locally as kolsat or salamat, which are two huge statues, built around 1350 BC, which are all that remains of a temple built in memory of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, who ruled Egypt during the Eighteenth Dynasty, located in the funerary city of Thebes, located west of the Nile River from the present-day city of Luxor.
After that, we transfer to the east bank, where you will be able to visit Luxor Temple, a large complex ancient Egyptian temple located on the east bank of the Nile River in today's city of Luxor, known as ancient Thebes. It was founded in 1400 BC. The Luxor Temple was built to worship Amun-Ra, his wife Mut, and their son Khonsu, and the Karnak Temple is a group of temples, buildings, and columns where expansion and construction continued from the Pharaonic era, specifically the kings of the Middle Kingdom until the Roman era in Luxor, Egypt, on the eastern shore.

Itinerary
In the morning, one of our representatives will be waiting for you at your hotel in Aswan to take you to Luxor in a modern air-conditioned car, where you can immerse yourself in the beautiful history of the ancient Egyptians.
Your tour starts with a memorable stop on Luxor's west bank, where you can explore On the west bank of the Nile River, across from Thebes (modern-day Luxor), in the center of the ancient funerary city of Thebes, lies the Valley of the Kings, also called the Valley of the Pipan of the Kings. For five hundred years, from the sixteenth to the eleventh centuries BC, tombs were constructed for the pharaohs and nobles of the New Kingdom during the eighteenth to twentieth dynasties of Ancient Egypt. There are two valleys in the Valley of the Kings: the eastern one, which contains the majority of the royal tombs, and the western one.
The two colossi of Memnon, also called kolsat or salamat in a dialect of the area, are enormous statues that were constructed around 1350 BC. They are the only remnants of a temple dedicated to Pharaoh Amenhotep III, the Eighteenth Dynasty ruler of Egypt, and are situated in the funerary city of Thebes, which is west of the Nile River from the modern-day city of Luxor.
Additionally, you will have the chance to see the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut. It is a collection of pharaonic tombs and temples situated in front of Luxor, Egypt, on the west bank of the Nile. The region was given the present Arabic name Al-Deir Al-Bahri in the seventh century AD after the Copts utilized this temple as a monastery. Queen Hatshepsut constructed it to carry out ceremonies that would help her in the afterlife. Three ascending amphitheaters make up the temple, which is joined by sloping platforms for climbing and descending. The funeral temple of Mentuhotep II, who lived in the eleventh Dynasty in the twenty-first century BC, was the first monument erected on this location.
We next move to the east bank, where you can see the grand Luxor Temple, an ancient Egyptian temple complex situated on the east bank of the Nile River in what is now Luxor, also known as ancient Thebes. Established in 1400 BC. Amun-Ra, his wife Mut, and their son Khonsu were worshipped at the Luxor Temple. The Karnak Temple is a collection of temples, structures, and columns that were expanded and constructed in Luxor, Egypt, on the eastern shore, from the Pharaonic period—more especially, the Middle Kingdom kings—until the Roman era. The temple was constructed for Amun, or Amun-Ra as it is now known, the heavenly trinity.
After a full day of unforgettable adventures, we return to your hotel in Aswan.
