Itinerary
The Karnak Temple
Admission included120 min
Your day begins with a seamless hotel pickup by both your dedicated tour guide and private driver, ensuring a relaxed and comfortable start to your adventure. You’ll ride in a modern, air-conditioned vehicle — no crowded buses or rushed itineraries, just a smooth ride tailored to your pace and preferences.
We head straight to Karnak Temples, one of the most awe-inspiring religious complexes ever constructed. Dating back to around 2000 BC, Karnak was built and expanded over centuries by generations of pharaohs. The temples are dedicated to the Theban triad of gods — Amun, Mut, and Khonsu — and the scale of the architecture is nothing short of breathtaking. Wander through massive hypostyle halls, gaze up at towering columns, and feel the powerful energy of this sacred site. Admission Ticket: EGP 600.
Luxor Museum
Admission included60 min
After soaking in the grandeur of Karnak, we’ll take you to the Luxor Museum — a true gem that’s often less crowded but incredibly rich in treasures. This carefully curated collection brings ancient Thebes to life through well-preserved artifacts, statues, jewelry, pottery, and even royal mummies. It's the perfect place to understand the artistic and cultural legacy of ancient Egypt in a more intimate setting. Admission Ticket: EGP 400.
Luxor Temple
Admission included60 min
In the soft glow of the afternoon sun, we arrive at the stunning Luxor Temple. Once connected to Karnak by the Avenue of the Sphinxes, this temple was more than a place of worship — it was a stage for coronations, rituals, and royal ceremonies. With its massive colonnades and beautifully preserved reliefs, Luxor Temple offers the perfect finale to your exploration of Egypt’s spiritual grandeur. Admission Ticket: EGP 500.
Now that you've taken in the wonders of Luxor, it’s time to relax and indulge in a well-deserved meal. We’ll head to a local restaurant of your choice, where you can enjoy a delicious lunch tailored to your tastes and budget. Whether you're craving traditional Egyptian dishes like molokhia or kofta, or prefer something more international, we’ll help you find the perfect spot.
As the day winds down, we’ll take you back to your hotel in the same private, air-conditioned vehicle. You’ll return with incredible photos, unforgettable stories.

Pleasant experience in Luxor
Good experience with Maro. Picked me up from airport and drove me to my hotel. Afterwards drove me to Luxor sites and recommended which tickets to her and which tombs to visit at Valley of the king's.
Good knowledge of the site and gave information on the site and it's history and why it was chosen rather than building new pyramids.
Recommended the temples in East bank as well and a visited the banana island with him. Made my stay in Luxor a pleasant experience.
Operator response
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful experience with Maro and our Luxor's East Bank Highlights tour on TripAdvisor. We are thrilled to hear that you had such a memorable visit to Luxor!
