Start
Your best day trip in luxor begins when a private car picks you up from your hotel and takes you on an exploration of the West Bank and trip to Valley of the Kings, famous for containing tombs of Pharaohs such as Tutankhamun.

The next stop will be chosen between Habo and Hatshepsut Temple, which stands at the top of Egypt's cliffs to honor one of her most influential queens.

Habo Temple is more suitable if Hatshepsut Temple's stairs are too complicated, and many visitors don't know about its existence, so ask your guide to learn more about it.

Finally, you will visit Colossi of Memnon, two massive statues which have stood for millennia, and two large statues that have stood tall for years are also included on the Luxor day trip.

You'll stop for lunch at a premium restaurant to rest and recharge before heading over to the East Bank to explore Karnak Temple.

Karnak Temple is an impressive complex of high columns, huge obelisks, and peaceful, sacred lakes that create the sensation that you have traveled back through time.

Our driver will take you back to your hotel after exploring Luxor's most iconic sites in just one day without the stress.

You'll take home unforgettable memories and gain greater insight into Egyptian history.
East & West bank
The east bank luxor tour is Luxor's modern side, home to hotels, restaurants and a vibrant market, as well as two of Egypt's most revered temples.

You must visit through full day tour to east and west banks of luxor:
- Luxor Temple
- Karnak Temple.
During trips in Luxor, most visitors prefer staying on its East Bank, the heart of Egyptian life.

West bank luxor tour boasts a more relaxed environment with plenty of accommodations and restaurants offering their services.

The West Bank is Luxor's calmer and peaceful side, sometimes known as the "City of Dead" due to it being where ancient Egyptians buried their pharaohs and built their tombs.

You will find:
- Valley of the Kings
- Hatshepsut Temple
- Colossi of Memnon
- Valley of Queens
Valley of kings
The Valley of the Kings was established as a royal burial ground during Egypt's New Kingdom era, spanning from the 18th dynasty through the 20th dynasty, when pharaohs and notable nobles were interred here.

The best tombs in the Valley of the Kings are Tutankhamun, Ramses II, Tuthmosis III, and Seti I, among this era's most notable rulers.

Ancient Egyptians created 63 tombs directly into rocks, each decorated with detailed images and reliefs showing religious themes.
Hatshepsut
Hatshepsut, daughter of King Thutmose I and daughter-in-law to King Thutmose II, became queen when she married Thutmose II around age 12.

On his death, she initially began acting as regent for Thutmose III's infant son Thutmosis III but eventually took over full powers as co-ruler of Egypt around 1473 BCE.

Hatshepsut, as Pharaoh the Sixth of the 18th Dynasty, expanded Egyptian trade and oversaw ambitious building projects such as Deir el Bahri Temple located in western Thebes where she would eventually be interred.

Hatshepsut Temple, popularly called the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, is one of Luxor's most stunning and unforgettable attractions.
Habo temple
Medinet Habu Temple, more commonly known as Habo Temple, is one of Luxor's hidden gems on the West Bank.

Ramses III built this incredible temple complex during his rule over Egypt as one of its great warrior pharaohs, and today, it remains one of its best-preserved sites.

This temple was constructed to commemorate Ramses III's military victories and pay homage to Amun.

Additionally, it served as a centre for administration and a place of worship.
Colossi of Memnon
The colossi of memnon luxor egypt are two giant statues of Amenophis III that stood as leaders over his funerary temple on Luxor's west bank of the Nile.

Constructed 3,400 years ago, they represent Amenophis in repose with hands resting comfortably on his knees, gazing upon a rising sun while looking in his direction, and also depicted are Queen Mutemwiya and Queen Tiy as figures on lower parts of statues.
Karnak temple
Karnak temple luxor had an incredible development over more than 1000 years, particularly between the Twelfth and Twenty-first Dynasties.

At its height, Karnak was considered one of the most significant religious complexes ever constructed in ancient Egypt.

While touring Luxor's largest open-air museum , don't miss the stunning sound & light show at karnak temple.
