Amazing Luxor Day Tours

Discover the world’s greatest open-air museum

Luxor is where ancient Egypt feels closest. On the East Bank, Karnak and Luxor Temples reveal the ceremonial heart of Thebes. Across the Nile, the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple and the Colossi of Memnon preserve the stories of pharaohs and royal life.

Choose a focused half-day tour, combine both banks in one private day, fly above the monuments at sunrise or travel beyond Luxor to Dendera, Abydos, Edfu, Kom Ombo and Aswan.
