Private Full Day Luxor Layover Tour – East & West Bank

Pick up from your hotel or airport in Luxor and begin your private full-day layover tour with a visit to the West Bank. Explore the Valley of the Kings, the royal burial ground of the New Kingdom pharaohs, where elaborately decorated tombs were carved into the desert hills. Continue to the Colossi of Memnon, two massive seated statues of King Amenhotep III that once guarded the entrance to his mortuary temple. Proceed to the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, an impressive terraced monument dedicated to Egypt’s most powerful female pharaoh, built dramatically against the cliffs of Deir El-Bahari.

After completing the West Bank visit, cross to the East Bank of Luxor to explore the Karnak Temple Complex, the largest religious complex ever built. Walk through the Avenue of Sphinxes, visit the unfinished pylon, the vast Hypostyle Hall with its 134 colossal columns, the obelisks of Queen Hatshepsut and Thutmose III, the Sacred Lake, and the granite scarab of Amenhotep III.
At the end of the tour, transfer back to your hotel or Luxor Airport to continue your onward journey.
