After breakfast, your private Egyptologist guide will pick you up from your hotel in Luxor by modern air-conditioned vehicle to begin your full-day Luxor sightseeing tour. Start your journey on the West Bank with a visit to the famous Valley of the Kings, the royal burial site of the New Kingdom pharaohs. Explore three beautifully decorated tombs filled with colorful hieroglyphics and ancient artwork, excluding the Tomb of Tutankhamun. Continue to the magnificent Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, one of the most impressive architectural masterpieces in ancient Egypt dedicated to the powerful female pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty. On the way, stop to admire the Colossi of Memnon, the massive stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III standing proudly at the entrance of his ancient funerary temple. After exploring the West Bank, continue to Luxor’s East Bank to visit Luxor Temple, the elegant temple built by Amenhotep III and Ramses II in the heart of the ancient city of Thebes. Proceed to Karnak Temple Complex, the largest religious complex in ancient Egypt dedicated to the Theban Triad. Discover its giant columns, towering obelisks, sacred lakes, and beautifully carved halls that reflect over 1,500 years of ancient Egyptian history. After completing your Luxor East and West Bank tour, transfer comfortably back to your hotel.
