Your Private Day Tour to Luxor Highlights commences with a dazzling early morning pickup from your hotel or cruise in Luxor. Accompanied by your private Egyptologist guide, you will first visit the Karnak Temple Complex, which is the largest religious site ever constructed. Walk through the enormous Hypostyle Hall and into the Avenue of Sphinxes, all while collecting fascinating stories on the temple's history, mythology, and architecture, completed over 2,000 years of construction.
Crossing the Nile will land you on the West Bank, which harbors some of the remarkable tombs and temples of ancient Egypt. Here you will spend time in the Valley of the Kings exploring lavishly decorated and exquisitely maintained royal tombs chiseled into the desert hills. An optional entrance to the notable tomb of Tutankhamun is possible. From there, one continues towards the rightly named Temple of Hatshepsut, a uniquely designed structure snuggled just at the base of the towering limestone cliffs. A brief stop will be made at the Colossi of Memnon-man-sized statues once guarding the entrance to Amenhotep III's mortuary temple.
In case you tire from all the touring in the morning, a local restaurant lunch will be arranged so you can grab a drink while discussing ancient stories and pondering archaeological discrepancy issues with your guide regarding ancient Thebes. You are free to take photographs, ask questions, and take your time as your guide will pleasantly escort you back to your hotel or cruise ship in the late afternoon. An unforgettable day in Luxor really comes to an end!
