Your thrilling Day Tour to Luxor from Cairo starts as you meet our experienced Cairo Top Tours tour leader at your hotel. They will escort you to the Cairo airport to begin your journey. Upon arrival in Luxor, our local guide will be there to greet you, holding a sign with your name, ready to kick off your day exploring the West Bank of Luxor - one of the most important archaeological sites in all of Egypt and the world.
The West Bank is a gateway to the Valley of the Kings, located in the centre of the mountains, where the tombs are carved into the rock under the hills. The walls of these tombs are adorned with captivating hieroglyphic decorations and writings of ancient Egyptian mythology and beauty. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a true wonder to behold.
Next, we'll visit the Hatshepsut Temple, also known as the temple of El-Deir El-Bahari, which was built during the Eighteenth Dynasty and dedicated to Queen Hatshepsut and Amun-Re. The temple's unique design was the work of the loyal architect Senmout. Before continuing, we'll stop to see the Colossi of Memnon, one of the most significant Luxor attractions facing the Nile River.
We'll then cross over to the East Bank of the Nile to explore the architectural complex of Karnak temples, the largest man-made religious complex in the world. The largest temple among them belongs to the gods Amun-Ra, Mut, and Khonso. Over the centuries, Egyptian rulers have added their architectural elements to the temple, leaving their mark for posterity.
