Itinerario
Es uno de los edificios religiosos más grandes de todo el mundo; consiste en tres templos dedicados a la Tríada de Tebas (un antiguo nombre para Luxor). El templo principal fue construido para el Dios Maestro de Egipto, Amon-Ra y los demás para su esposa, la Diosa Mut y su hijo, el Dios Khonsou. El templo de Karnak comenzó como un pequeño santuario para el dios local Amon durante los tiempos del reino medio, cuando Luxor era una ciudad normal, pero cuando se la cambió para ser la capital de Egipto al comienzo del Nuevo Reino; su Dios local Amon fue actualizado para ser el Dios Maestro de Egipto y, por lo tanto, su templo de Karnak se amplió y amplió a lo largo de 1500 años para ser el más grande de Egipto. En los templos de karnak, verá la Sala hipóstila, que se considera la mayor de las columnas del mundo, fue fundada por el rey Ramsses II y su padre Seti I, luego verá los Obeliscos de la reina Hatshepsut y su padre Tutmosis I También verás el hermoso lago sagrado y la gran escarabajo escarabajo que fue el símbolo del culto al sol.
Alrededor de tres kilómetros al sur de Karnak, se encuentra el Templo de Luxor. Ambos estaban conectados entre sí por una carretera flanqueada por una doble línea de esfinges de cabeza humana conocida como Sphinx Avenue y recientemente el departamento egipcio de antigüedades está tratando de revivir esta carretera que se espera que haga de Luxor el museo más grande del mundo. El templo de Luxor fue construido por el antiguo rey egipcio Amenhoteb III y fue completado por el faraón Ramsses II. Este templo es testigo de diferentes épocas de la historia egipcia, que mientras que el templo fue fundado en la antigüedad egipcia. Alejandro Magno, al comienzo de la época grecorromana en Egipto, construyó en su interior un santuario en honor de Dios Amon-Ra para complacer a los egipcios. Más tarde, durante el período del cristianismo primitivo, se fundó una iglesia cristiana. Finalmente se construyó una mezquita sobre las ruinas del antiguo templo. Este templo se supone que está rodeado por dos obeliscos construidos por el rey Ramsses II, uno de ellos todavía en pie y el otro fue llevado para adornar la plaza Concorde en París a principios del siglo XIX.
En el valle de los reyes hay más de 70 tumbas excavadas en el fondo de la montaña que pertenecen a los famosos reyes del antiguo Egipto durante el período del nuevo reino, como Ramsses II, el rey Merenptah, el rey Tutmosis 1, el rey Tutmosis III y el rey. Tut Ankh Amon. Aquí, en el Valle de los Reyes, se sorprenderá con las impresionantes pinturas de colores que aún permanecen en pie. Los trabajadores utilizaron algunas herramientas primitivas para lograr grandes tumbas para sus reyes que aún son testigos de la antigua civilización egipcia. En el valle de los reyes podrá visitar tres tumbas (recomendadas por el guía)
La reina Hatshepsut fue la dama más popular que gobernó Egipto durante los antiguos períodos egipcios y para conmemorar aquí el recuerdo para siempre; ella decidió construir su templo funerario con un estilo único en tres terrazas, una sobre la otra, y lo llamó el acebo de los hollies. El templo está parcialmente cortado en la montaña y frente al valle del río Nilo.
En medio de las verdes tierras, verá un par de estatuas del templo funerario del rey Amenhotep III. Cada una de las estatuas que representan el faraón egipcio sentado en el trono de Egipto. Los dos colosos flanqueaban la puerta de entrada de su templo que se arruinó por completo y las excavaciones aún continúan descubriendo otras cosas que se cree que están debajo del suelo.

This was easily one of the highlights of our trip to Egypt. Mahmoud made the entire day fun, relaxed, and unforgettable. We never felt rushed, and he made sure everyone was enjoying themselves from start to finish. We left Luxor with a much greater appreciation for its history, and that’s entirely because of him. Thank you for such an amazing experience!
Mahmoud Farah was our guide and he was the absolute best!! I 100% recommend Mahmoud. He was the best guide, was so knowledgeable on every subject, gave us good laughs, and was very hospitable. He was so flexible with what we wanted to see and do and took the best pictures too! Our experience wouldn’t have been the same without him! :)
We did the 9/10 day trip which includes Cairo, cruise from Aswan to Luxor then Hurghada and back to Cairo Frequent communication for logistics, knowledgeable guides delivering the right amount of information, helpful guides with delayed luggage and sickness Mahmoud Farah for Aswan/Luxor were outstandin
We had an amazing 10 day trip to Egypt, facilitated by Egypt Joy. Our guide, Mahmoud, was the highlight of the experience. As a trained archaeologist, his vast knowledge of the historical/cultural sites of Egypt is nothing short of amazing and impressive. Many random and obscure questions came his way in our time together and Mahmoud always gave thoughtful, thorough replies to our group. He balanced many positive traits in a deft manner: always prepared yet very flexible to the group's wants and needs, professional but fun. In addition, when needed, he served as an effective buffer between our group and the numerous determined vendors, only when needed and in a very respectful, face-saving manner. Mahmoud is absolutely top-notch first rate. The Nile River cruise was another highlight. We were on Le Fayan II and would encourage anyone to select this beautiful ship and its amazing crew. The food was amazing and they serve alcohol (unlike the Hilton Grand Nile, unfortunately). We did a sunrise hot air balloon experience and would encourage this unique way of seeing Luxor. The ballooning outfitters were persistent in their encouragement of us tourists to sing and dance with them and at 5AM for a video that they would subsequently be selling, many of us were not feeling it. Bottom line, our balloon pilot was confident, conscientious and professional and that trumps everything! As with any complex itinerary, there are areas to improve upon. These snags were mostly related to air transfers and were not detrimental to the overall enjoyment of the experience. I am envious of anyone who gets to take a similar tour of Egypt with Mahmoud and travel the Nile on Le Fayan II.....I already want to go back!
We only had one day in Luxor and wanted to see everything, this was the perfect tour, in a comfortable car. Marwa was our guide and she was experienced and knowledgeable. We had a long 8 hour day but so worthwhile, so much to see! Lunch was also really good, a lovely restaurant in a nice setting with nice food.
We had a wonderful and full day with our guide Kareem. Kareem was extremely knowledgeable of the history, he was funny and kind with us as well. The tour itself was very well organized and it was super easy to communicate with the owner on logistics. He was also really flexible with us when we had to make some changes leading up to your trip. Overall, the experience was really well curated and I am really happy we chose Egypt Joy Travel.
We had an incredible two-week trip to Egypt, expertly arranged by Egypt Joy Tours. We worked with Hatem via WhatsApp to create a personalized itinerary that included all the destinations and experiences we wanted. He handled every detail—from hotels and to a Nile cruise and domestic flights—making the planning process smooth and stress-free. Having private airport transfers, a dedicated vehicle, and personal tour guides truly elevated our experience. Everything was well-organized yet flexible, allowing us to enjoy a trip that was fun, educational, and relaxing. We managed to see everything on our list without feeling rushed. All the guides were great, but a special thank you to Tawfiek and Nabil, who went the extra mile to support us—even when we encountered a few minor hiccups, which were negligible in light of the overall experience. We highly recommend Egypt Joy Tours and would gladly travel with them again.
Everything was great from booking the tour thought execution. The tour planner catered to everything we wanted to see and gave us many options. We went to Luxor and Cairo, both guides were great! They picked us at the airports in nice comfortable vans, they also dropped us off. They were friendly, organized and punctual. In Cairo they took us all the way into check in and got us to security before leaving us. I would definitely recommend this company. Mahmoud Farah (Luxor guide) and Mohammed Heragi (Cairo guide). Both tours were amazing.
Fantastic insightful tour with Kareem. The perfect balance between hands-on and hands-off to explore. He met us early to avoid the crowds and we were able to see everything we wanted. Have even learnt a hieroglyph or two!!
Starting early from Hurghada (4:30), our driver picked us up perfectly on time and drove us in a safe and comfortable manner to Luxor. Our guide Mahmoud was very knowledgeable about the historic sites in Luxor and there was enough time to adapt the program to our whishes. That's of course a big advantage of a private tour: you are able to skip the standard craftwork shops and make slide changes to the itinerary. Both driver and guide were very friendly guys who really made this trip worth while!
