Step back in time with our Luxor West and East Bank private tour, the ultimate way to see the world’s largest open-air museum. This comprehensive day trip bridges the Nile, taking you from the ‘City of the Dead‘ in the West to the ‘City of the Living’ in the East. Led by a certified Egyptologist, this Luxor West and East Bank private tour ensures you don’t miss a single detail of the ancient Theban capital’s most iconic monuments.
Your morning begins on the West Bank, where the sun sets and the ancient pharaohs were laid to rest. On this Luxor West and East Bank private tour, we visit:
Valley of the Kings: Descend into the richly decorated tombs of New Kingdom rulers like Ramses II and Tutankhamun.
Temple of Hatshepsut: Marvel at the unique terraced architecture of Egypt’s most famous female pharaoh, built into the limestone cliffs of Deir el-Bahari.
Colossi of Memnon: Stand before the two massive statues of Amenhotep III, the last remains of a once-grand mortuary temple.
After a traditional lunch, we cross the Nile to the East Bank. This side of the river was dedicated to the rising sun and the living.
Karnak Temple Complex: Walk through the awe-inspiring Great Hypostyle Hall, featuring 134 massive columns, in the largest religious site ever built.
Luxor Temple: Discover the elegant temple dedicated to the rejuvenation of kingship, which was once connected to Karnak by the two-kilometer Avenue of Sphinxes.
