With this private Luxor day trip from Cairo by flight, you travel directly to Luxor and explore the legendary West Bank with your own Egyptologist guide
This Luxor day trip from Cairo focuses on the most iconic highlights of Luxor’s West Bank and some of the greatest archaeological sites in ancient Egypt.
This is the main highlight of the tour.
Your Egyptologist guide will explain the stories behind the royal tombs, the beliefs about death and rebirth, and the hidden meanings inside the artwork.
Depending on the ticket type and timing, you may visit several tombs included in the main entrance ticket.
Many travellers dream of seeing the tomb of Tutankhamun.
Although smaller than some other royal tombs, it remains one of the most famous discoveries in archaeological history.
The mummy of Tutankhamun is still located inside the tomb today.
The Temple of Queen Hatshepsut is one of Luxor’s most beautiful monuments and an important part of the West Bank experience.
Built into dramatic desert cliffs, the temple combines ancient architecture with one of the most photogenic landscapes in Egypt.
These giant statues once guarded one of the largest temple complexes in ancient Egypt.
Today, they remain one of Luxor’s most iconic photo stops.
Because Karnak Temple is located relatively close to Luxor’s West Bank, most travellers choose to include it in the same day.
And honestly, it would be a mistake not to.
Karnak is one of the largest temple complexes in the world and adds a completely different side of ancient Egypt to the experience.
