Full Day Private Tour Luxor East Bank: Karnak and Luxor Temples with Lunch

Overview

In Luxor, you will explore two of Egypt’s most impressive archaeological sites with a private guide: the temples of Karnak and Luxor. Luxor is considered the biggest outdoor museum in the world, with temples, tombs and museums scattered across the city. The pair of sites you visit rank among the largest archaeological areas in Egypt after the Great Pyramids of Giza, so you’ll get a strong sense of the city’s ancient scale and importance as you move between them. At Karnak, on the east bank of the Nile, you’ll see a precinct that covers more than 100 hectares—larger than some ancient cities. The central sector is dedicated to the god Amun‑Ra, linked with Thebes, and the area around his main sanctuary was known in antiquity as Ipet‑Sun, “the most select of places.” The temple’s construction continued for roughly 2,000 years, from the Old Kingdom through Roman‑occupied Egypt, and it contains the world’s largest Hypostyle hall. Along the way your guide will put these monuments in context so you understand their history and significance within Luxor’s vast outdoor museum.
