Itinerary

Day1

Cairo to Luxor – East Bank Temples

Your Luxor Overnight Tour from Cairo by Flight starts with a pickup from your Cairo hotel or a meeting with your tour leader at Cairo International Airport. Once you land in Luxor you meet your local representative and begin exploring the city’s well-known East Bank sites with your private Egyptologist guide.

First stop is Luxor Temple, the large monument started under Amenhotep III and later expanded by other pharaohs, including Ramses II. You walk through the main entrance and look at the statues, columns and inscriptions that show the religious traditions of ancient Thebes.

Next comes Karnak Temple, one of Egypt’s most impressive archaeological complexes. It was dedicated mainly to the god Amun, along with Mut and Khonsu, and contains the big gateways, tall columns and sacred structures that were added over many centuries.

After the temples you have lunch at a local restaurant, then transfer to your Luxor hotel to check in and rest for the night. If you’d like to extend the evening you can ask about the optional Sound and Light Show at Karnak Temple, subject to availability.

Day2

Luxor West Bank – Return to Cairo

Enjoy breakfast at the hotel, then meet your private Egyptologist guide for a day on Luxor’s historic West Bank. This side of the river is known for its royal tombs and funerary monuments, and it gives a clear sense of the beliefs and burial customs of the ancient Egyptian rulers.

You start at the Valley of the Kings, the royal necropolis where many New Kingdom pharaohs were buried. Your guide explains the history of the decorated tombs and the discoveries that made the site famous, including the tomb of Tutankhamun. Note that entry to the tombs of Tutankhamun and Seti I needs an extra ticket.

Next comes the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari. Built into the limestone cliffs, this terraced temple was dedicated to one of ancient Egypt’s most important female rulers and is known for its elegant design and historical weight. You then stop at the Colossi of Memnon, the two huge stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III. There’s time to look at them and hear how they fit into the story of ancient Thebes.

After the visits you have lunch at a local restaurant, then transfer to Luxor Airport for the flight back to Cairo. Your Luxor temples and Valley of the Kings tour wraps up after two days looking at some of Egypt’s most celebrated ancient landmarks.
