Description
East and West Bank trip In Luxor
Enjoy an unforgettable journey through Luxor, Egypt’s open-air museum, with a private, fully guided tour showcasing the most iconic ancient sites. Starting with a convenient hotel pickup in Luxor, your expert Egyptologist guide will accompany you throughout the day, sharing fascinating stories and historical insights that bring Egypt’s ancient civilization to life.
Your first stop is the awe-inspiring Karnak Temple, a vast and sacred site dedicated to the god Amun-Ra. This monumental temple complex spans over 200 acres, featuring towering obelisk structures, colossal statues, and the magnificent Hypostyle Hall with 134 massive columns. The sacred lake and the Avenue of Sphinxes leading to the temple enhance the grandeur of this ancient wonder.
Next, visit Luxor Temple, a beautiful and historic temple dedicated to Amun. Marvel at the monumental pylons, intricate reliefs, and statues of Ramses II, symbolizing Egypt’s powerful connection between its kings and gods. This temple, bathed in sunlight during the day, radiates a magical charm.
Pause for a delicious lunch at a local restaurant overlooking the majestic Nile River. Enjoy a variety of authentic Egyptian dishes, such as koshari, shawarma, and grilled kebabs, while relaxing by the river’s peaceful waters.
In the afternoon, cross to the West Bank and explore the legendary Valley of the Kings, where you’ll visit the tombs of Egypt’s greatest New Kingdom pharaohs, including the famous tomb of Tutankhamun. The richly decorated tombs, adorned with hieroglyphics and paintings, provide fascinating insights into the ancient Egyptians’ beliefs about the afterlife.
Afterward, you’ll visit the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, carved into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari. This grand temple, dedicated to Egypt’s only female pharaoh, Queen Hatshepsut, showcases magnificent reliefs that tell the story of her reign, her divine birth, and her successful expeditions to the land of Punt.
On your way to these sites, you will also pass by the towering Colossi of Memnon, two massive stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, which once guarded the entrance to his mortuary temple. These colossal statues, standing 18 meters tall, are famous for their mysterious “singing” sounds caused by the morning sun’s heat on the statues. The Colossi remain a powerful reminder of Egypt’s architectural and artistic achievements.
Conclude your incredible day with a comfortable drop-off at your hotel, carrying unforgettable memories of Luxor’s ancient wonders and timeless treasures.
