Highlights

Luxor East Bank Tour

Nile River Valley - At the scheduled time, our (Dr Mo Tours Egypt) Egyptologist Tour Guide will pick you up from your Luxor hotel or from Luxor Airport (additional fees for airport pick-up) to begin your Luxor East Bank Tour.

Temple of Karnak - At Karnak Temple, you’ll explore one of the world’s most remarkable architectural achievements, the Karnak Temple complex on Luxor’s East Bank. This complex, built over various reigns, features the Avenue of Sphinxes, the Hypostyle Hall with its 134 massive columns, the Obelisks of Queen Hatshepsut and Tutomosis I, the Temple of Amon decorated with lotus and papyrus motifs, the Granite Scarab of Amenophis III, and the Sacred Lake. Karnak stands out as one of Egypt’s most stunning ancient monuments.

Temple of Ramesses III, Karnak - At Karnak, you’ll visit what is considered one of the world’s greatest architectural masterpieces, the Karnak Temple complex on Luxor’s East Bank. This complex, built over different reigns, includes the Avenue of Sphinxes, the Hypostyle Hall with its 134 gigantic columns, the Obelisks of Queen Hatshepsut and Tutomosis I, the Temple of Amon adorned with lotus and papyrus designs, the Granite Scarab of Amenophis III, and the Sacred Lake. Karnak surpasses all other pharaonic monuments in beauty.

Obelisk of Queen Hapshetsut - The Obelisks of Queen Hatshepsut and Tutomosis I, and the Temple of Amon adorned with lotus and papyrus designs.

Luxor Temple - Luxor Temple is dedicated to the Theban Triad of Amun-Ra, Mut, and Khonsu. Here, you’ll see the granite statues of Ramses the Great. These ancient temples are essential for any Luxor visitor.

Avenue of Sphinxes - The Avenue of Sphinxes is a spectacular path that once stretched 3 km from Luxor to Karnak. Today, only a few hundred meters remain, but it is still very impressive. This avenue used to connect the Karnak and Luxor temples, spanning six miles with sphinxes lining both sides.

Hot Air Balloon With Luxor West Bank Tour

Nile River Valley - Early in the morning, a representative from “Dr Mo Tours Egypt” will pick you up for an exhilarating hot air balloon ride. You’ll be transferred to the marina, where you can enjoy soft drinks before taking a motorboat to the west bank. From there, you’ll be taken to the balloon ride’s take-off area, soaring over the world’s largest open-air museum (Luxor). The balloon ride lasts 45 minutes and departs daily, though advance confirmation is highly recommended. After landing, you’ll explore Luxor’s West Bank on a private half-day tour, allowing you to visit each site at your own pace.

Colossi of Memnon - The Colossi of Memnon in Thebes, Luxor, Egypt.

Valley of the Kings - Next, you’ll head to the Necropolis of Thebes, the Valley of the Kings on Luxor’s West Bank. This ancient burial ground is a must-see for visitors. You’ll visit four royal tombs, including those of Ramses, Horemheb, and Merenptah.

Tomb of Ramases IX - The Tomb of King Ramesses IX, the third pharaoh of the Twentieth Dynasty of the New Kingdom of Ancient Egypt. Before becoming king, he was known as Amonhirkhopshef, the fifth son of Ramesses III. He became crown prince after his four elder brothers predeceased him. The tomb is richly decorated, with vibrant colors and detailed artwork, including a ceiling depicting the goddess Nut. The sarcophagus is one of the largest in the valley, and despite some deterioration, the tomb remains one of the most ornate.

Tomb of Merenptah - In Egyptian mythology, Ptah is the creator god of Memphis, patron of craftsmen and architects. In his falcon form, he was placed in tombs to protect the deceased on their journey to the afterlife. Tomb 8 in the Valley of the Kings is the burial site of Pharaoh Merneptah, son of Ramesses II and Queen Isis-Nofret. Discovered by Howard Carter in 1903, the tomb features fewer side chambers but taller corridors and rooms. Merneptah’s tomb was built on a single axis, with a wider entrance than earlier tombs.

Tomb of King Tutankhamun (Tut) - Additional tickets are required if you wish to visit this tomb.

Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari - After visiting the tombs, you’ll be transported to the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari. She was the only woman to rule Egypt as Pharaoh and was an ancestor of King Tutankhamun, belonging to the same dynasty.

Experience could be better - Disappointing driver demanding tips nonstop. He even followed us after getting dropped off asking us to withdraw cash from an ATM for more tips. Might as well have hired a local taxi instead.
