Overview

For those who don’t want to compete on a tour with a multitude of others, this half day Tour to Luxor East Bank, Karnak and Luxor Temples is perfect for you then! It’s a small group tour that takes you along the eastern bank of Luxor where you can view some of the largest and most beautiful sights of Egypt! Among these sights are the breathtaking Karnak Temple constructed from the beginning of the Middle Kingdom to the Greco Roman, and the magnificent Temple of Luxor which was built by Amenhotep III in 18th Dynasty.

Here you’ll also find the statues of Rameses standing tall and guarding them against evil. Start your half day tour, after picking you up from the hotel, to the east bank of Luxor. The Egyptologist guide will explain all about the history of the Karnak Temples and the Luxor Temple and you’ll learn about why the Karnak Temples were built in dedication to the Egyptian God Amon, his wife Mut and their son Khonsu.

Stop At: Temple of Karnak, Karnak, Luxor Egypt

After arriving from Hurghada, we will first visit famous Karnak Temple! The Karnak Temple is Egypt's largest temple, and its ruins can still be seen today.
The Karnak Temple, which was constructed between 2200 and 360 BC by several pharaohs, includes the great temple of Amun, as well as other smaller temples, chapels, and the great sacred lake. Hatshepsut, Seti I, Ramses II, and Ramses III were the most powerful pharaohs involved in its construction.

Stop At: Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari, Kings Valley Rd Deir el-Bahari, Luxor 23512 Egypt

After the Karnak temple, we will visit the temple of one of the most interesting rulers of Egypt - Queen Hatshepsut!
The architect Sennenmut designed the Temple of Hatshepsut, also known as the Temple of Deir el-Bahari. It was founded in honor of Hatshepsut, Egypt's only long-reigning female pharaoh. It was constructed between the seventh and twenty-first years of her reign, with a part excavated in the rock and three terraces on the outside.

The Valley of the Kings is an Ancient Egyptian necropolis where many of the New Kingdom's pharaohs are buried; more than 60 tombs cut into the rocks have been found.
The valley was once known as "Ta Iset Maat," which means "place of truth." King Tuthmosis I, of the 18th dynasty, was the first pharaoh to be buried in the Valley of the Kings.

Stop At: Colossi of Memnon, Thebes, Luxor Egypt

At the end of our tour, we will visit Colossi of Memnon. The Colossi of Memnon are two huge statues of Amenophis III that guarded his funerary temple in Luxor, on the Nile's west bank. The sculptures, which date back 3,400 years, depict a peaceful pharaoh staring at the Rising Sun with his hands on his knees.

Trip started off poorly when the day we initially booked onto was cancelled, and we were only notified at 5:30am after already getting up and waiting 30 minutes for the transfer. However, the trip took place the following day and absolutely made up for it. The experience was incredible, and the tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and was able to convey some complex Egyptian history in a way that made sense to everybody. The heat in Luxor is incredible and strongly recommend people both dress sensibly and take a good level of water with them. The small size of the group (ours was 6), meant it was very easy to always hear what the guide was saying and meant it felt far more personal (we saw some tour groups of 20+ and they couldn't hear anything).

Bob our guide was excellent and the excursion overall was really good. Not for the faint hearted as it is a long journey there and back. Our drivers were really good and this made the experience less tiring. A long day full of brilliant experiences.

I have to say our day trip to Luxor was amazing. Our driver, Machmood (sorry if spelt incorrectly) was great, very informative on the drive which was a few hrs long. We also have to say a big thanks to our guide Wael whos knowledge on Egyptology was amazing. We started at Karnack Temple, then boat ride on Nile, this was extra but we were informed of this upfront and its something we are unlikley to do again. Then we had lunch, followed by tour of Valley of the Kings. It truly is an amazing place to visit. It does get extremely hot which can be overwhelming so make sure you have plenty of sunscreen and water. There are lots of people trying to sell stuff and its best to keep your eyes down and move on quickly if you do not intend to buy anyghing, this may seem rude but we were advised to do this or we would be inundated with sellers. Thanks again to Wael and Machmood for making our day so wonderful.

So pleased we didn't miss this - it was a present for my husband's 75th Birthday, and he absolutely loved it . Indescribable - you have to experience it. We included a short boat trip on the Nile, which was lovely.
