During the journey, your driver will make short stops for rest and refreshments before you reach the legendary city of Luxor.

Upon arrival, head directly to the West Bank—home to some of the most fascinating sites of ancient Thebes. But before exploring on foot, prepare for a once-in-a-lifetime experience: a sunrise hot air balloon ride over Luxor.

The balloon flight lasts approximately 40 to 60 minutes and offers a breathtaking view of the Valley of the Kings, the temples, and the Theban hills from above—a perfect opportunity for unforgettable photos.

After landing, continue your exploration with your private Egyptologist guide, who will share the stories, secrets, and legends of Luxor’s ancient monuments.

Discover the beauty and power of the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, an architectural masterpiece built into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari,

Admire the towering Colossi of Memnon, two massive stone statues that have guarded the Theban plain for millennia.

During the day, enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant overlooking the Nile, where you can relax and taste authentic Egyptian cuisine.

Next, cross the Nile River to the East Bank to visit the Temple of Karnak, one of the largest religious complexes ever constructed. Wander among its majestic columns, sacred lakes, and colossal statues, feeling the ancient energy that still resonates in every stone.
