Overview

Dive into the heart of ancient Thebes with a professional Luxor East Bank Tour. This half-day excursion reveals the staggering scale of the Karnak Temple complex and the refined elegance of Luxor Temple, showcasing the architectural evolution of Egypt’s most powerful dynasties along the Nile’s vibrant eastern shore.

Discover the Wonders of a Luxor East Bank Tour

Your Luxor East Bank Tour begins at the massive Karnak Temple complex, the largest religious site ever constructed. Walking through the Great Hypostyle Hall, you will stand beneath 134 towering columns that still bear the marks of Pharaohs from the Middle Kingdom to the Ptolemaic era. Dedicated to the Theban Triad—Amun, Mut, and Khonsu—the site serves as an open-air archive of Egyptian history. Your guide will decode the reliefs and obelisks that once made this the most influential spiritual center in the ancient world.

The second half of your Luxor East Bank Tour shifts to the city center to explore Luxor Temple. Originally built by Amenhotep III and later expanded by the legendary Ramses II, this temple is famous for its colossal statues and the striking granite obelisk at its entrance. Unlike other temples, Luxor Temple was the primary setting for the Opet Festival, connecting the two great complexes via the Avenue of Sphinxes. This tour offers a condensed yet deep look at the artistic mastery and royal propaganda of the New Kingdom.
