Full description

Meet your Egyptologist tour guide at your accommodation and start your journey in an air-conditioned vehicle. Relax in comfort as you travel to explore the most important historical monuments in Luxor.

Choose between a tour of both the East and West banks, or visit only one side of the Nile according to your preferences. On the West bank, discover the Valley of Kings where you will visit the remarkable tombs and last resting place of the Kings Ramsses III, Ramsses VI, and Mrenptah.

If you've booked an entrance to the tomb of Tutankhamun (available as an add-on), you'll then see the most iconic Egyptian tomb known world-wide.

Then, proceed to the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, dedicated to a female ruler who reigned over Egypt for 20 years, bringing the country wealth and peace. See the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III at the Colossi of Memnon, then stop for lunch at a local restaurant. On the East bank, witness the Complex of Karnak, which might be the largest temple in the world. You have one more stop before you leave the place: the magnificent Luxor Temple, a large ancient Egyptian temple which you will have time to explore.

Our guide was Abdu! He was great at his job, and he learn to us so many things ! He was the best guide we had in Egypt ! So kind and with so many knowledge! It was a great trip, we saw everything ! It’s really worth it. Also the entrance fee in all the temples was about 30 euros . And very important to know is that the Ramses greatest Tempe 5th has different fee and the Tutankhamen! Ramses was really worth it!!!!

Bit of a problem with the pickup as I was not contacted by the guide and the hotel had 2 lobbies. The agent didn’t respond which resulted in an hour delay. Guide was good. I had an issue as they change vehicles half way through but don’t tell you, so I had valuables in the other vehicle and the one we got in had other peoples bags.
