About this tour

Luxor deserves more than a rushed day trip. Two full days split cleanly across the Nile — Karnak and Luxor Temple on the East Bank, the Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut's temple on the West Bank — with a private Egyptologist throughout and an optional sunrise hot-air balloon to open the second day.

Highlights

  • Karnak Temple & the Great Hypostyle Hall
  • Luxor Temple, seen in late afternoon light
  • Valley of the Kings
  • Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari
  • Colossi of Memnon
  • Optional sunrise hot-air balloon over the West Bank
