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
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.
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.
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.
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.

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!
