Full-day East and West Bank tour with lunch from Luxor
Your day begins with a comfortable pickup from your hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle as you are driven directly to the Luxor West Bank. Your first official stop is the legendary Valley of the Kings, where you will explore the burial site while your guide explains why it was once called the “Gates of the Kings” or the “Place of Truth.” Next, you will visit and marvel at Hatshepsut Temple, which rises out of the desert plain in a striking series of terraces, and you will learn the fascinating history of the greatest mummy found in history in 1876. Before leaving the West Bank, you will pause to admire the Colossi of Memnon, two massive 60-foot stone statues that have stood for more than 3,000 years.
Following your West Bank tour, you will cross the tranquil waters of the River Nile by motorboat to the East Bank, taking in the beautiful scenery along the way. Once on the East Bank, it is time to indulge in a delicious included lunch at either the Hotel Steigenberger or Iberotel Luxor. Your final major exploration is the Jewel of the Egyptian Temples, Karnak, where you will tour its vast complex of sanctuaries, kiosks, pylons, and obelisks dedicated to the Theban gods, measuring about 1.5km by 800m—large enough to contain about 10 cathedrals. At the conclusion of your full-day tour, you will be driven back to your hotel for a seamless drop-off.
