Things to do in Luxor
Full Day Private Luxor East & West Bank Tour With Egyptian Lunch
Overview
This is a private tour/activity. Only your group will participate to all the mentioned sights with your own private guide. You will explore Karnak & Luxor Temple East Bank Valley of Kings & Hatshepsut Temple West Bank
What you'll see
- The Karnak Temple2 hours
Karnak is an ancient Egyptian temple precinct located on the east bank of the Nile River in Thebes (modern-day Luxor). It covers more than 100 hectares, an area larger than some ancient cities.
- Luxor Temple2 hours
Constructed over hundreds of years by Amenhotep III, Ramses II, Tutankhamun, and other pharaohs, Luxor Temple was the largest and most significant religious center in ancient Egypt. In what was then Thebes, Luxor Temple was “the place of the First Occasion,” where the god Amon experienced rebirth during the pharaoh’s annually reenacted coronation ceremony.
- Valley of the Kings3 hours
The west bank of Luxor had been the site of royal burials since around 2100 BC, but it was the pharaohs of the New Kingdom period (1550–1069 BC) who chose this isolated valley dominated by the pyramid-shaped mountain peak of Al Qurn (The Horn). Once called the Great Necropolis of Millions of Years of Pharaoh, or the Place of Truth, the Valley of the Kings has 63 magnificent royal tombs.
- Temple of Hatshepsut2 hours
At Deir Al Bahri, the eyes first focus on the dramatic rugged limestone cliffs that rise nearly 300m above the desert plain, only to realise that at the foot of all this immense beauty lies a monument even more extraordinary, the dazzling Temple of Hatshepsut. The almost-modern-looking temple blends in beautifully with the cliffs from which it is partly cut – a marriage made in heaven. Most of what you see has been painstakingly reconstructed.

Amazing experience!
I truly loved this tour. We visited the most amazing places in Luxor and our guide Ibrahim was awesome. We learned a lot and enjoyed the whole day exploring. If I have the chance, I would do this again. There's a LOT to see!

Stepping back in time…
This trip was amazing. We had the best guides in Cairo (Sadekmido Mohammad) and in Luxor (Hassan Sedik). We explored the sites in comfort on our private tours. Our guides eliminated the stress of haggling with the vendors as we shopped at various locations along the way. I love the passion exuding from our guides as they walked us through the fascinating world of ancient Egypt. I learned so much. From visiting the pyramids, standing at the foot of the Sphinx, exploring the colorful tombs and literally touching history…Jakada Tours made the trip worthwhile.

Experience of a LIFE TIME!
What an incredible unforgettable experience. A special Thank You to the Tour Guide "Azab" now Brother from another Mother. Azab from the very start was precise, prompt and on point. Everything from his genuine kindness, honesty and knowledge of the History of Egypt went well above my expectations. His passion and love of his job definitley showed and I would use him again on my next visit with my family. Even other people on our cruise noticed how he treated us and asked us for his information as well. That alone coming from the outside from strangers on a cruise proves what an exceptional job he has done. I felt like one of the kings of Egypt by the end of the tour. Also, the detailed schedule and activities arranged by the company was seemless and we hit all the spots. I highly recommend Azab on your next journey to Egypt you will not be disappointed.

Luxor with Jakada Tours!
Ahmed was our tour guide while in Luxor for two days. We also had a representative from Luxor (Ali) pick us up right from airport and take us back. He was awesome, from meeting us at the hotel to taking us to all the sites and finding us places to eat lunch and get souvenirs he was great. He had a lot useful knowledge to help us understand ancient Egyptian life. We traveled from the United States, we live in Michigan and were unsure how our first long international trip would go and Jakda Tours has made it so memorable and easy, if your hesitant don’t be, contact Jakada tours out tour guides, representatives and drivers have all been excellent!
