Luxor East and West Bank Day Tour with Lunch Option

This private Luxor East and West Bank day tour shows you the city’s key monuments on both sides of the Nile in about 8 hours. You visit the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut and the Colossi of Memnon on the West Bank, then Karnak and Luxor Temple on the East Bank.

If you have a single full day in Luxor, this route covers the essentials in a private air-conditioned vehicle, with guides available in English, Spanish and German.

What you will see

• Valley of the Kings – the royal burial ground of the New Kingdom, with a selection of painted tombs.
• Temple of Hatshepsut – the terraced temple of the 18th Dynasty queen-pharaoh at Deir el-Bahari.
• Colossi of Memnon – two giant seated statues of Amenhotep III.
• Karnak Temple – the vast temple complex of Amun with its Great Hypostyle Hall.
• Luxor Temple – built mainly by Amenhotep III and Ramesses II in the centre of town.

Good to know

You choose what to include: driver only, car and guide, car with guide and entry tickets, or the full option with lunch at a restaurant. Bottled water, service charges and taxes come with every option.

The West Bank sites are visited in the morning, before the strongest heat. Special tombs such as Tutankhamun’s need a separate ticket. Bring a hat, sunscreen and comfortable shoes for a day with plenty of walking.
