Overview

Step into the timeless world of Luxor on this immersive 3-day tour. Witness awe-inspiring monuments, unravel ancient mysteries, and experience the vibrant culture of this historic city.

Your exploration begins on the East Bank of the Nile, where you will visit Karnak Temple, the largest religious complex ever built in ancient Egypt, followed by Luxor Temple, an important ceremonial center connected to the rituals of kingship and the god Amun.

Crossing to the West Bank, you will step into the world of the pharaohs at the Valley of the Kings, where royal tombs were carved deep into the desert hills. The journey continues to the impressive Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, a striking monument built against the cliffs of Deir El-Bahari, and the Colossi of Memnon, standing as silent guardians of Luxor’s royal necropolis.

Your experience is completed with visits to Medinet Habu, one of the best-preserved mortuary temples in Egypt, and the Ramesseum, the grand memorial temple of Ramses II. Together, these sites reveal the power, artistry, and legacy of ancient Egypt.

Blending iconic landmarks with lesser-visited treasures, this 3-day Luxor tour offers a rich and well-rounded introduction to the city’s timeless history and enduring beauty.
