Discover the Magic of a Luxor East And West Bank Tour
Your Luxor East And West Bank Tour begins in the shadows of the Theban Necropolis on the west bank. You will explore the Valley of the Kings, where the rock-cut tombs of famous Pharaohs like Tutankhamun and Ramses VI remain hidden deep within the mountains. The journey continues to the mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, a stunning architectural masterpiece built into the limestone cliffs, followed by a stop at the towering Colossi of Memnon. This half of the tour provides an intimate look at the burial traditions and sovereign power of the New Kingdom's greatest rulers.
After a refreshing local lunch, your Luxor East And West Bank Tour shifts to the vibrant east bank to visit the world's largest religious site: the Karnak Temple complex. You will wander through the Great Hypostyle Hall, marveling at the massive columns dedicated to the god Amun. The day concludes at Luxor Temple, a beautifully preserved sanctuary built by Amenhotep III and finished by Ramses II. Seeing both banks in a single day allows you to witness the contrast between the "City of the Dead" and the "City of the Living," making it the most efficient way to see Luxor's treasures.
