Overview

Discover the most iconic sites around Luxor with Nut Travel in a single, unforgettable full-day experience! This comprehensive tour covers both the East Bank and the West Bank of the Nile, taking you through five of Luxor's greatest ancient landmarks — all in one perfectly planned day.

Begin on Luxor's West Bank, where you'll uncover the awe-inspiring Valley of the Kings — the legendary royal necropolis renowned for its grandeur and architectural mastery, serving as the eternal burial grounds of Egypt's greatest pharaohs, including Tutmosis I, Tutmosis III, Tutankhamun, Ramesses VI, Merenptah, and Amenhotep II.

Continue to the magnificent Temple of Queen Hatshepsut — built by Egypt's only reigning female pharaoh, Hatshepsut, who ruled during the 18th Dynasty (1490–1469 BC). Then marvel at the towering Colossi of Memnon — the two enormous seated statues that are the last remaining remnants of Amenhotep III's mortuary temple.

Cross back to the East Bank for a delicious lunch at a local restaurant before exploring the magnificent Karnak Temple Complex — one of the world's largest ancient religious sites, dedicated to the god Amun, his consort Mut, and their son Khonsu. Conclude your journey with a visit to the breathtaking Luxor Temple, originally built by Amenhotep III in the 18th Dynasty and later expanded by Ramesses II in the 19th Dynasty.

After a day of truly unforgettable discoveries, you'll be driven back to your Luxor hotel by your private Nut Travel guide.
