Dit is een privétour/activiteit. Alleen uw groep neemt deel aan alle genoemde bezienswaardigheden met uw eigen privégids. Je zult Karnak & Luxor Temple East Bank verkennen Vallei der Koningen & Hatshepsut-tempel Westelijke Jordaanoever
Karnak is een oud Egyptisch tempelgebied gelegen aan de oostelijke oever van de rivier de Nijl in Thebe (het huidige Luxor). Het beslaat meer dan 100 hectare, een gebied dat groter is dan sommige oude steden.
De tempel van Luxor werd in de loop van honderden jaren gebouwd door Amenhotep III, Ramses II, Toetanchamon en andere farao's en was het grootste en belangrijkste religieuze centrum in het oude Egypte. In wat toen Thebe was, was de Luxor-tempel "de plaats van de eerste gelegenheid", waar de god Amon wedergeboorte beleefde tijdens de jaarlijks nagespeelde kroningsceremonie van de farao.
De westelijke oever van Luxor was de plaats van koninklijke begrafenissen sinds ongeveer 2100 voor Christus, maar het waren de farao's van de periode van het Nieuwe Rijk (1550-1069 voor Christus) die deze geïsoleerde vallei kozen die wordt gedomineerd door de piramidevormige bergtop van Al Qurn ( De Hoorn). Ooit de Grote Necropolis van Miljoenen Jaren van Farao genoemd, of de Plaats van Waarheid, heeft de Vallei der Koningen 63 prachtige koninklijke graven.
Bij Deir Al Bahri richten de ogen zich eerst op de dramatische ruige kalkstenen kliffen die bijna 300 meter boven de woestijnvlakte uitsteken, om vervolgens te beseffen dat aan de voet van al deze immense schoonheid een nog buitengewooner monument ligt, de oogverblindende tempel van Hatshepsut. De bijna modern ogende tempel past prachtig bij de kliffen waaruit hij gedeeltelijk is uitgehouwen - een huwelijk gemaakt in de hemel. Het meeste van wat je ziet is nauwgezet gereconstrueerd.

We absolutely loved our time in Luxor with our tour guide, Hassan. He was so knowledgeable and personable and the itinerary was perfect. We toured the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut, Luxor, and Karnak Temples. We can’t thank Hassan enough for the memories made on this tour!

Hassan was the best Tour Guide during our travels in Luxor. I wish we had him in Cairo. He knew a lot of information. Whenever I asked about something not on topic he always had an honest response. Hassan did a great job guiding our group through the East and West banks of Luxor. The best part was the lunch stop at Restaurant Africa. If I ever return to Luxor I will be giving him and only him a call.

You cannot visit Egypt without being accompanied by Ahmed Awad. He's knowledgeable of the history of Egypt and he genuinely wants to provide you with the best experience. I can't shop anywhere without him by my side! See you next year. Shukran! 😊

My favorite part of the trip was learning all the facts about the artifacts. He took us to many places of which I also enjoyed. Everything was explained in great detail. He was so considerate of us being tourists, and made sure no one took advantage money wise. He only wanted the absolute best for us and I completely appreciate it. He definitely went out of his way to make sure we felt welcomed.

We flew in to Luxor and were immediately met at the airport to be taken to Karnak Temple. On the way, we picked Mohammed, our tour guide. Karnak was incredible and huge. It was really stunning! To make it even better Mohammed filled in all the details which we never would have even guessed had he not been there. He answered all my questions and genuinely showed his love for his profession and it was easy to see this was his calling. We then headed to Luxor Temple where we were explained and showed the temple. Having a person like Mohammed with the knowledge and explaining to you and going at your speed, while having people wearing headphones in groups of twenty listening to one guide looking like they are trying to herd cats is no a brainer. We then expected to grab lunch and take a 45 minute ride to the West Bank to the valley of the kings. Mohammed surprised us! We picked up our lunch (with the choice of American or Egyptian food) then took a water taxi across the Nile. It only took several minutes as we ate. Upon arrival the driver was waiting for us. We saw the valley and then the temple of Hatshepsut. Throughout Mohammed was at our side guiding us and making us feel very welcome. He even gave us a wonderful recommendation for dinner which we thoroughly enjoyed. A truly wonderful experience with Mohammed Sayed taking it to the next level! I highly recommend requesting him should you do this tour.

Azab brought the history of Egypt to life with lots of interesting stories and facts about Ancient Egypt. He knows all the best spots for photos and stories and is great at navigating the crowds that can happen in temples. He has 20 years of experience and has particular love and interest in Luxor, which was our favorite part of the tour. Azab is the best guide you can ask for. He was with us for the whole Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor and then both banks in Luxor. He knew how to balance guiding with giving us time and space to explore, and made us feel both safe and welcome. Absolutely recommend taking this tour and booking with Azab!
