Discover the monumental heart of Ancient Egypt with our Hurghada to Luxor East Bank private tour. While many tours rush through both sides of the Nile, this dedicated experience focuses on the grandeur of the ‘City of the Living.’ On this Hurghada to Luxor East Bank private tour, you will travel in the comfort of a private vehicle to witness the two most significant religious complexes of the New Kingdom: Karnak and Luxor Temples.
The first stop on your Hurghada to Luxor East Bank private tour is the incomparable Karnak Temple Complex. Covering over 200 acres, Karnak was the center of the cult of Amun-Ra for over 1,500 years.
With your private Egyptologist guide, you will:
Walk through the Great Hypostyle Hall, featuring 134 massive sandstone columns.
Stand before the towering Obelisks of Queen Hatshepsut and King Thutmose I.
Visit the Sacred Lake, where ancient priests performed purification rituals.
Learn how generations of Pharaohs added their own shrines to this massive ‘Library in Stone’.
Next, your Hurghada to Luxor East Bank private tour continues to the elegant Luxor Temple. Unlike other temples built for gods, Luxor Temple was primarily dedicated to the rejuvenation of kingship.
Marvel at the colossal statues of Ramses II guarding the entrance and the beautiful red granite obelisk (whose twin stands in Paris). One of the most breathtaking features of this visit is the Avenue of Sphinxes, which once stretched two kilometers to connect Luxor Temple directly to Karnak. Your private guide will reveal the secrets of the Opet Festival that once filled these halls with music and celebration.

Because we focus solely on the East Bank, the itinerary is more relaxed. However, the travel time from Hurghada remains about 4 hours each way. By skipping the West Bank, you can enjoy a much deeper and less rushed exploration of the two main temples.
Comfortable light clothing, a hat, sunglasses, and good walking shoes are recommended. Don’t forget sunscreen.
Absolutely! Since this is a Hurghada to Luxor East Bank private tour, we can easily add a 30-minute traditional Felucca sailing trip during your lunch break so you can enjoy the beauty of the Nile River.
