Begin your journey at the awe-inspiring Karnak Temple Complex, the largest religious site ever built in ancient Egypt. Walk through the grand Avenue of Sphinxes, marvel at the towering Hypostyle Hall with its massive columns, and explore the sacred lake and beautifully carved walls that tell stories of pharaohs and gods. Karnak is not just a temple — it’s a masterpiece that reflects over 2,000 years of Egyptian history and devotion.
Continue to the elegant Luxor Temple, located in the heart of modern Luxor. Dedicated to the rejuvenation of kingship, this temple was used for rituals and festivals celebrating divine power. Admire its giant statues of Ramses II, the beautifully preserved hieroglyphs, and the majestic obelisk standing at the entrance. As evening falls, the temple glows under soft lights, creating a magical atmosphere that takes you back to the days of ancient Egypt.
This day tour offers an inspiring glimpse into the splendor of ancient Egyptian civilization and is perfect for history enthusiasts and travelers seeking to uncover the timeless beauty of Luxor’s East Bank.
Begin your half-day private tour as your guide picks you up from your hotel to explore the majestic East Bank of Luxor — home to two of Egypt’s most spectacular temples.
Start your journey with a visit to the Karnak Temples, the greatest complex of worship ever built in history, dedicated to the God Amon, his wife Mut, and their son Khonsu.
