Luxor Trip Overview
Take a half-day private tour with a qualified Egyptologist guide exploring the East Bank of Luxor. You’ll see two of the most impressive temples in Upper Egypt – Karnak and Luxor, while learning about ancient Egyptian history from your own personal guide.
Start your day with a visit to the Temples of Karnak. Walk along the Avenue of Sphinx to enter the complex as your guide explains how the massive facade was constructed. On entering the Temples of Karnak you will see each legacy left by the various pharaohs as the complex grew even larger. The deeper you go into the complex, the further back in time you will travel, with the oldest ruins dating back over 3,000 years.
Walking through the Great Court into the Great Hypostyle Hall, it’s hard not to be overwhelmed by the 134 columns towering above you like an ancient forest.Continue to Luxor Temple which was once joined to the Temples of Karnak by two-kilometer long Avenue of Sphinx, a portion of which marks the entrance to the temple.
