Explore Tours
A day tour of Luxor is an unforgettable journey through time — filled with awe-inspiring monuments, fascinating history, and the magic of ancient Egypt. Nestled on the banks of the Nile River, Luxor is often called “the world’s greatest open-air museum” for its extraordinary concentration of temples, tombs, and treasures.
🏛️ Ideal Itinerary for Your Luxor Day Tour:
1. Karnak Temple
Begin your adventure at the magnificent Karnak Temple — the largest religious complex in Egypt. Dedicated to the Theban Triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu, this temple is renowned for its towering columns, colossal statues, and intricate hieroglyphs. Don’t miss the breathtaking Hypostyle Hall with its 134 giant pillars!
2. Valley of the Kings
Cross to the West Bank to explore the royal burial ground of ancient Egypt’s greatest pharaohs, including Tutankhamun and Ramses II. Step inside beautifully decorated tombs that have survived for millennia — a true window into the afterlife beliefs of ancient Egyptians. (Extra ticket required for Tutankhamun’s tomb.)
3. Temple of Hatshepsut
Marvel at the elegant Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, Egypt’s only female pharaoh. Its unique design, with sweeping terraces rising from the desert cliffs, makes it one of the most stunning architectural achievements of the ancient world.
4. Colossi of Memnon
Stop for photos at the impressive Colossi of Memnon — two giant stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III guarding what was once his grand mortuary temple.
5. Optional: Nile River Cruise & Banana Island
End your day with a relaxing sail along the Nile. Enjoy the gentle breeze and panoramic views as you cruise toward the lush Banana Island — a peaceful way to experience the beauty of Luxor from the water.
6. Alabaster Workshops
Visit one of Luxor’s traditional alabaster workshops to see how skilled craftsmen transform fine-grained Egyptian alabaster into beautiful vases, statues, and lamps — a timeless art passed down through generations.

I am so lucky to have Barre as my private tour guide:) He is truly an Egyptologist, well informed, patient and speaks english very well. He gave me good tips and looked out for my interest as a first time traveler to Luxor. The car that i was picked up in was also new and clean.
