Upon arrival at Luxor Airport, your private expert tour guide will welcome you, holding a sign that reads "Passionegypttours." You will then be escorted to the most renowned historical sites on Luxor's East Bank, including:
Karnak Temple is one of the most remarkable heritage sites, often referred to as "Most Selected Places." This location held a significant status in Ancient Egyptian history as it was the most renowned religious site, primarily built as a pilgrimage center for nearly 2,000 years.
After completing the activities, you will be taken to a restaurant with a stunning view of the Nile for lunch, followed by check-in at a 5-star hotel in Luxor to relax for the remainder of the day before beginning an exciting evening tour with your guide to visit:
Luxor Temple was initially constructed around 1392 BC under the reign of Amenhotep III, with completion attributed to Tutankhamun in 1336 BC and Horemheb in 1323 BC. The temple remains an active place of worship today, as the site was once covered by the surrounding city dwellings. During the Coptic Period, the temple's hypostyle wall served as a Christian church.
We will transport you back to your hotel for your overnight stay.

After breakfast at the hotel, your private tour guide will collect you in a private air-conditioned vehicle to continue your short break in Luxor and explore the most notable attractions on the west bank, including:
Since 2100 BC, the west bank of Luxor has been home to "The Place of Truth" and royal burial sites. The Pharaohs of the New Kingdom chose this secluded location to construct their magnificent tombs. The Valley of the Kings features more than 60 royal tombs, housing countless treasures and pieces of jewelry.
The Temple of Hatshepsut is a valuable legacy of Queen Hatshepsut, located beneath the towering cliffs of "Deir El Bahari." Hatshepsut, one of the most renowned pharaohs of the 18th dynasty, is thought to have ruled for 22 years. She initiated several significant construction projects, with this magnificent temple being among the most notable.
Your lunch will be served on an island, featuring a boat ride along the Nile, followed by views of:
The Colossi of Memnon are two large faceless limestone statues that originally depicted King Amenhotep III, standing impressively at approximately 18 meters tall. These remarkable sculptures, each carved from a single block of stone, are located at the eastern entrance of Amenhotep III's mortuary temple.
At the conclusion of your Luxor short break, we will promptly transfer you to Luxor Airport to ensure you catch your return flight home.
