This full-day guided tour is ideal for travelers staying in Aswan who wish to explore Luxor’s world-famous temples and royal tombs in one comprehensive and well-organized excursion.

Visit the legendary Valley of the Kings, home to elaborately decorated tombs carved deep into the mountains. Continue to the magnificent Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, an architectural masterpiece built into the cliffs of Deir El-Bahari, and stop for photos at the impressive Colossi of Memnon.
After lunch at a local restaurant, cross the Nile to the East Bank to explore the vast Karnak Temple Complex, the largest religious structure ever built.
