1. Your expert Egyptologist guide will pick you up from your hotel or Nile cruise on Luxor’s East Bank to begin a private half-day tour exploring two of Egypt’s most iconic temples. Start at the magnificent Karnak Temple Complex, the largest religious site ever built in ancient Egypt. Walk along the Avenue of Sphinxes and admire the monumental gateways and towering pylons that mark the entrance to this vast open-air museum. Discover the legendary Great Hypostyle Hall with its forest of 134 massive columns, intricate hieroglyphic carvings, ancient obelisks, the sacred lake, and the sanctuary of Philip III Arrhidaeus. Your guide will bring the history of the pharaohs to life as you explore. Continue to Luxor Temple, beautifully located in the heart of the city, where you’ll admire elegant statues, grand courtyards, and beautifully preserved reliefs that reflect centuries of ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman influence. Enjoy time to explore, take photos, and absorb the timeless atmosphere

   1,5 hEntrée incluse

2. Continue your journey to Luxor Temple, once connected to Karnak Temple Complex by the legendary Avenue of Sphinxes, part of which still forms the majestic entrance today. Upon arrival, admire the towering statues of Ramses II, grand courtyards, monumental pylons, and intricately carved reliefs that bring ancient Egyptian history to life. Originally begun by Amenhotep III and later expanded by Tutankhamun, Horemheb, Ramses II, and even Alexander the Great, the temple reflects centuries of continuous construction and heritage. Despite Nile floods, invasions, and thousands of years of exposure, it remains remarkably well preserved. After your guided tour filled with history and insights, enjoy some free time to explore at your own pace before returning comfortably to your drop-off point in Luxor.

About Louxor

Louxor occupe le site de l'antique Thèbes : vastes temples sur la rive est du Nil et tombeaux royaux de la Vallée des Rois sur l'autre rive.

Sur la rive est, le complexe du temple de Karnak s'étend sur des hectares de pylônes, d'obélisques et la forêt de colonnes de sa grande salle hypostyle. Une allée de sphinx le relie au temple de Louxor, au centre de la ville, particulièrement évocateur le soir lorsqu'il est illuminé. Le musée de Louxor et le musée de la Momification bordent la corniche du fleuve.

Top-ranked sights in Louxor: Valley of the Kings, Temple of Hatshepsut (at Deir el-Bahari), Colossi of Memnon.
