Luxor, ancient Thebes, has more great monuments than anywhere else in Egypt. On the East Bank stand Karnak and Luxor Temple; across the Nile lie the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut, the Colossi of Memnon, the Valley of the Queens with the tomb of Nefertari, Medinet Habu and the Tombs of the Nobles.
Our private Luxor tours run every day, with your own Egyptologist guide and car, from your hotel or your Nile cruise ship. Start with a sunrise hot air balloon ride over the West Bank, go further to the temples of Dendera and Abydos or Esna and Edfu, or end the day on a felucca at sunset.
