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.

Tours with Azab
We had the best guide in Luxor, Azab! Our first day included Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut’s Mortuary Temple, and Medinat Habu. The second day we went to Luxor temple. Azab had lots of historical knowledge to share, as well as good humour. He knew all the best features to share at each location. We look forward to joining him on another tour, inshallah.

We spent 3 days touring antiquities around luxor with azab. He was great! His English was excellent and he was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the sites we visited. We learned a lot about Egypt in general from him. We look forward to seeing him again!!!

Hassan Sedik the Great!!!
Our time in with Hassan in Luxor and Aswan was beyond amazing. Hassan was very insightful and knew so much information about the various temples and structures that we came across… to the point where he was able to identify what materials things were made out of. Both my mother and I felt relieved having someone so helpful and also hilarious, who did not mind going above and beyond to ensure that we had a fantastic time. He recommended the best spots for us to take photos and made sure we stayed safe and secure while wondering the city. Also took us to the best spaces for spices and alabaster, which we were very keen on seeing. I really appreciate the time Hassan took to weave the history together about the various deities and Egyptians. Highly recommend!!!

Highly enjoyable trip with exceptional service and personal touches
Our guide Azab made sure we had a wonderful time. He is extremely knowledgeable about all of Egypt's history and ensures you see everything there is to see - allowing us some free time too to take more photos or look at things a second time. He went above and beyond by inviting my husband and I to his house for lunch which his wife had prepared. What an amazing feast they provided and we met their 2 boys who were so lovely. We learnt about how they lived, I had a henna tattoo, took some photos and they gave us some homemade biscuits to take away. We were welcomed as one of the family - very friendly but never awkward. Azab is an efficient guide but brings warmth and friendship to the job too. A highly recommended trip where you can find our about real life in Egypt as well as seeing the ancient sites. I would give 6 stars if I could!

Great tour with Azab
Great day out with Azab from Jakada Tours. Spent time in Karnak and Luxor temples, and the Valley of the Kings, followed Hatshepsut temple. Azab was great - very knowledgeable but also full of life. Made the day very interesting but also lots of fun. We even stopped off at his home to meet his wife and children for a home cooked lunch! Would definitely recommend. Excellent English, picked us up from the hotel on time, and used a great car and driver.

Egypt was EVERYTHING to me!!!
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable in the history of Egypt and interesting and easy to listen to. Ahmed was also good with taking and capturing our pictures in the best locations and at the best angles. I appreciated the information he gave us concerning the people, country, and temples.

Osama and Azab were nothing short of AMAZING. They made our trip informational and FUN!!!! Osama was always on time and made us feel safe during our travels. Azab taught us many new things and was so passionate about Egypts history. We laughed the WHOLE TIME! I met them expecting travel agents, and left with new family members. I will keep in touch with them in the future. Absolutely 10/10 and would recommend to anyone. Thank you so much Osama and Azab!!!!

Incredible Experience
Azab and Osama were wonderful, they are the best team with excellent knowledge and hospitality. We learned so much about the temples and the food was incredible. The car was very clean and new. I am so glad we went with them for a small personalized trip, much better than the large tour group.

Book them NEEOOOWWWW!!!! :-)
Listen, I have ALL GREAT THINGS TO SAY! Jakada tour guide Ahmed should have the title of archaeologist, entertainer, concierge etc etc. This man made sure my son and I were well attended to. He met us at Luxor airport with driver. Escorted us to our tour then to our hotel. Next morning , arranged for us to get breakfast boxes to go as we were traveling with him to Aswan by train. Escorted us in and around to all sites in Aswan (we added Abu Simbel) last minute. Taught us about the customs, had a traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant, and even had driver stopped at several stores until I found the Egyptian drink that I fell in love with while there. He is superb in every way.
