Itinerary
1
Valley of the Kings
Your day begins with a prompt pickup from your hotel or Nile Cruise in Luxor by your Egyptologist guide from Egypt Best Tours. Travel comfortably in an air-conditioned vehicle as you enjoy a scenic 35–40 minute drive toward Luxor’s West Bank. Your first stop is the legendary Valley of the Kings, where New Kingdom pharaohs carved their tombs deep into the mountains to safeguard their treasures and preserve their mummies for eternity. While guiding is not permitted inside the tombs, your expert guide will provide a full explanation before you enter. You’ll then explore three of the most fascinating open tombs, carefully selected to give you the best insight into this ancient burial site.

2
Temple of Medinat Habu
Continue to Medinet Habu, situated at the southern edge of the Theban Necropolis. This remarkable site is not only known for its impressive architecture but also for being the location of the first recorded labor strike in history, during the reign of Ramesses III. The temple itself, built in his honor, is one of the best-preserved in all of Egypt. Enclosed by towering mud-brick walls — which may have served as a form of fortification — this temple complex offers a powerful glimpse into ancient religious and political life.
1 hour and 30 minutes
3
Colossi of Memnon
Wrap up your West Bank exploration with a photo stop at the towering Colossi of Memnon — two massive statues that have stood guard for over 3,000 years. Then, relax and enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, included as part of your tour.
4
Temple of Karnak
Return to the East Bank to visit the awe-inspiring Karnak Temple — the largest religious complex ever built, constructed over a span of 2,000 years and covering nearly 63 acres. As your expert guide shares fascinating stories and ancient legends, take in the grandeur of the Great Hypostyle Hall. Don’t miss the chance to snap unforgettable photos among the towering columns and majestic obelisks.
1 hour and 30 minutes
5
Avenue of Sphinxes
As you make your way to Luxor Temple, take a moment to stop at the Avenue of Sphinxes — the ancient ceremonial road that once connected Karnak and Luxor Temples. Lined with hundreds of sphinx statues, this avenue was used during grand festivals, including the ancient Egyptian New Year celebrations.
6
Luxor Temple
Next, visit the magnificent Luxor Temple — one of Egypt’s most stunning and historically rich temples. Originally built by King Amenhotep III of the 18th Dynasty and later expanded by the great Ramses II during the 19th Dynasty, this temple uniquely showcases layers of ancient Egyptian, Christian, and Islamic history. Marvel at the towering obelisk, impressive statues, and beautifully preserved architecture. After exploring the site, you’ll be comfortably transferred back to your hotel to end the day.
