Luxor Tours & Private Day Tours

Luxor is the world's greatest open-air museum, and EGT Luxury Travel covers it with private, guided sightseeing led by licensed Egyptologists. Choose an East Bank day around Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple, a West Bank route through the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut and the Colossi of Memnon, or a full-day combination of both banks. Sunrise hot-air balloon flights over the West Bank can be added, and entrance fees are included on our Luxor day tours. Compare the Luxor tours below and we will adapt the order of visits to your arrival time.

Tour Overview

Luxor tours divide naturally into two halves. On the East Bank you visit Karnak and Luxor Temple; on the West Bank the Valley of the Kings, the terraced temple of Hatshepsut and the Colossi of Memnon. Our Luxor day tours are private, guided by a licensed Egyptologist and driven in a private air-conditioned vehicle from your hotel or Nile cruise ship.

Because Luxor sightseeing is concentrated in a small area, a single full day covers the essentials and two days let you slow down for detail — the tomb paintings, the reliefs at Karnak, the light in the early morning. Tell us how long you have and we will balance the route accordingly.

What You'll Experience

  • A guided Valley of the Kings tour, with the tombs explained before you go inside.
  • Karnak's hypostyle hall and the avenue of sphinxes at Luxor Temple.
  • Hatshepsut's mortuary temple at Deir el-Bahari and the Colossi of Memnon.
  • Time for photography and shade breaks rather than a rushed checklist.

Why Choose This Tour

  • Private Luxor tour format: your guide, your vehicle, your pace.
  • Licensed Egyptologists who read the walls, not a leaflet.
  • Pick-up from your Luxor hotel or directly from your cruise ship mooring.
  • Early starts available to visit the West Bank before the heat.

Practical Information

  • The West Bank involves steps and open ground; comfortable shoes and water matter.
  • Some tombs and museums charge separate photography fees — your guide will point them out.
  • Each tour page lists its own sites, duration and inclusions.
