Luxor East and West Bank Highlights

You will be picked up from your hotel or Nile Cruise in Luxor by your licensed tour guide and transferred by private air-conditioned vehicle to the West Bank, where you will visit the Valley of the Kings. Many kings are buried here, including King Tutmosis I, Tutmosis III, Tut-Ankh-Amon, King Ramssess VI, King Mrenptah, and Amonhotep II.
This will be followed by a visit to the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, the only Pharaonic woman who reigned over ancient Egypt. You will then continue your day to the Colossi of Memnon, the remains of Amenhotep III's mortuary temple.
Have lunch at a local restaurant on the East Bank, where drinks are extra, for about one hour before moving on to visit Karnak Temple. This is the greatest example of worship in the history of Luxor.
End the tour by visiting Luxor Temple, built by two pharaohs in different dynasties. Later, you will be driven back to your hotel or Nile Cruise in Luxor, or transferred to Luxor Airport.
