Spend an unforgettable afternoon exploring the East Bank of Luxor with your own private Egyptologist guide. This immersive tour takes you to two of Upper Egypt’s most iconic sites, the Karnak and Luxor Temples, in a journey through more than 3000 years of ancient history. Begin at Karnak, where you will walk the famed Avenue of Sphinxes and enter a vast temple complex that expanded with each passing dynasty. As your guide brings its stories to life, marvel at towering obelisks, sacred chapels, and the awe-inspiring Hypostyle Hall with 134 massive columns that stretch skyward like an ancient stone forest. At the rear of the complex lies the sacred lake, where ancient pharaohs and their offerings were once purified before presenting them to the gods. After the guided tour, enjoy some additional free time to explore the temple grounds at your own pace.

Continue your journey with a visit to the magnificent Luxor Temple, once connected to Karnak by a two kilometer Avenue of Sphinxes, part of which still marks the temple’s dramatic entrance. As you pass towering statues of Ramses II, your private Egyptologist guide will reveal how this remarkable structure has withstood the test of time from Nile floods and foreign invasions to centuries of desert winds. Step inside this pure Egyptian temple and explore its inner sanctuaries, where intricately carved hieroglyphics still whisper stories of gods, pharaohs, and rituals. Discover how Alexander the Great boldly inserted himself into its legacy and see one of the twin obelisks, the other now rising in the heart of Paris. With the flexibility of a private tour, you set the pace, choosing how much time to spend uncovering the wonders of each site. This is not just sightseeing, it is stepping directly into the world of ancient Egypt.
