From Luxor: Guided Tour to East or West Banks with Lunch

Discover the Luxor East West — an extraordinary adventure designed to bring you the authentic beauty, rich history, and timeless magic of Egypt with expert local guidance.

Meet your Egyptologist tour guide at your accommodation and start your journey in an air-conditioned vehicle. Relax in comfort as you travel to explore the most important historical monuments in Luxor. You can choose between a tour of both the East and West banks or visit only one side of the Nile, depending on your preferences. On the West Bank, discover the Valley of Kings where you will visit the remarkable tombs and the last resting place of the kings Ramses III, Ramses VI, and Merneptah. Then, proceed to the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, which is dedicated to a female ruler who reigned over Egypt for 20 years, bringing the country wealth and peace. See the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III at the Colossi of Memnon, then stop for lunch at a local restaurant. On the East Bank, witness the Complex of Karnak, which might be the largest temple in the world. You have one more stop before you leave the place: the magnificent Luxor Temple, a large ancient Egyptian temple which you will have time to explore.
