    2 hours

    Followed by a visit to the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut that known as El Dir El Bahari which was built by Queen Hatshepsut the daughter of Thutmosis I, who ruled Egypt about 20 years during the 18th Dynasty (approximately 1490-1469 B.C), the only pharaonic woman who reigned ancient Egypt. Then Continue your day Tour to The Colossi of Memnon which are remains of the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III

  3. Colossi of Memnon
    30 minutes

    The Colossi of Memnon (Arabic: el-Colossat or es-Salamat) are two massive stone statues of the Pharaoh Amenhotep III, which stand at the front of the ruined Mortuary Temple of Amenhotep III, the largest temple in the Theban Necropolis. They have stood since 1350 BC, and were well known to ancient Greeks and Romans, as well as early modern travelers and Egyptologists. The statues contain 107 Roman-era inscriptions in Greek and Latin, dated to between AD 20 and 250; many of these inscriptions on the northernmost statue make reference to the Greek mythological king Memnon, whom the statue was then – erroneously – thought to represent. Scholars have debated how the identification of the northern colossus as "Memnon" is connected to the Greek name for the entire Theban Necropolis as the Memnonium.

  4. The Karnak Temple
    1 hour

    The Karnak Temple Complex, commonly known as Karnak (/ˈkɑːr.næk/), comprises a vast mix of temples, pylons, chapels, and other buildings near Luxor, Egypt. Construction at the complex began during the reign of Senusret I (reigned 1971–1926 BCE) in the Middle Kingdom (c. 2000–1700 BCE) and continued into the Ptolemaic Kingdom (305–30 BCE), although most of the extant buildings date from the New Kingdom. The area around Karnak was the ancient Egyptian Ipet-isut ("The Most Selected of Places") and the main place of worship of the 18th Dynastic Theban Triad, with the god Amun as its head. It is part of the monumental city of Thebes, and in 1979 it was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List along with the rest of the city. The Karnak complex gives its name to the nearby, and partly surrounded, modern village of El-Karnak, 2.5 kilometres (1.6 miles) north of Luxor.

  5. Luxor Temple
    1 hour

    The Luxor Temple (Arabic: معبد الأقصر) is a large Ancient Egyptian temple complex located on the east bank of the Nile River in the city today known as Luxor (ancient Thebes) and was constructed approximately 1400 BCE. In the Egyptian language it was known as ipet resyt, "the southern sanctuary". It was one of the two primary temples on the east bank, the other being Karnak.[1] Unlike the other temples in Thebes, Luxor temple is not dedicated to a cult god or a deified version of the pharaoh in death. Instead, Luxor temple is dedicated to the rejuvenation of kingship; it may have been where many of the pharaohs of Egypt were crowned in reality or conceptually (as in the case of Alexander the Great, who claimed he was crowned at Luxor but may never have traveled south of Memphis, near modern Cairo). after tour transfer back to your hotel

Great one day tour of Luxor, great way to spend a day!

My wife and I just spent The day with Salwa, it was an excellent tour from pick up to drop off. In the morning we are met at the airport on time and take into our first tour directly. Salwa is extremely knowledgeable about all the place we went went giving us in-depth information we would not have otherwise. The driver and sour always took us to the most direct route to each of the temples and monuments as well as a wonderful lunch. Their local knowledge is invaluable to see everything in Luxor. Without a guide and driver of their Caliber we would never be able to see all of Luxor Inn only one day including a flight from Cairo. I highly recommend this and will recommend it to my friends and family. The flights are extremely early and get back at a good time around 9 PM, so it’s a really long but worthwhile day if you only have one day to spend from Cairo to Luxor.

Luxor to Aswan with brilliant Heba

We had a great day to from Luxor to Aswan cover the temples of Edfu, Kom Ombo and Philae as well as the Aswan High Dam in between. Our guide Heba took very good care of us providing great food (falafel, biscuits, crisp, and sweets) and kept us hydrated during the heat. She explained the highlights on each sight and granted us our private time to explore them by ourselves. It was a long trip but since we had to travel from Luxor to Aswan it was the best way to see the sites on the way. We highly recommend to book the tour with brilliant Heba!

Day trip to Aswan

Today was my amazing trip to Aswan and the temples. My tour guide was Salwa, a truly amazing walking encyclopedia who lectured out all the historical importance. I was amazed at her indepth knowledge of the temples. Certainly Emo tours have a winner in their hands. I highly recommend Emo tours and Salwa for any trip to Aswan.
