Tour Plan
Day 1: Luxor East Bank Day Tour
Early in the day, you will be taken to Cairo airport for your flight to Luxor. After landing, you'll meet your tour guide and begin your journey aboard a 5-star luxury Nile cruise ship. The cruise will pass through Luxor City, where you will see different places people use for tourism in Luxor.
The Karnak Temple: Karnak Temple is not only a fantastic but a historical site; it is built in stages and for its availability and value. The initial structure was built by King Senusret I (1971 – 1926 BCE), and the final addition was made during the Ptolemaic Kingdom (305 – 30 BCE). This came about after the Theban Triad of Amun, Montu, and Mut were congratulated, which led to the most prestigious site in Thebes being recognized.
Get back to the boat and dig into a gourmet lunch meal. In the evening, we will collect you to visit:
The Luxor Temple at night: The Temple of Luxor is a fascinating sanctuary in the southern part of Luxor. It was established in 1400 BC due to collaboration between key historical figures such as Amenhotep III, Alexander the Great, Tutankhamun, and Ramesses II. The temple was constructed to reinforce the institution of monarchy and become a central place for most coronation ceremonies, thus obtaining the name of the Southern Sanctuary of Royal Power.
Come in the evening of the cruise ship, where you will have a charming and delicious dinner and sleep on board during your upcoming trip.
Day 2: Luxor West Bank Day Tour / Sail to Edfu

The vast maze of tombs constructed beneath the earth's crust was equally impressive in bringing to life the day's different religious beliefs and practices.
The Temple of Hatshepsut: The Mortuary temple of queen Hatshepsut, a symbol of Ancient Egyptian architectural achievement, is a significant site. Retaining its original beauty, the temple was built atop the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari in 1479 BCE and features a statue that represents Hatshepsut's life and title as God's Wife of Amun-Ra.
The Colossi of Memnon: Grandfather of HS Pharaoh Amenhotep III (1386-1349 BC) is the one who brought to light these 18-metre-high giant quartzite statues, the Colossi of Memnon, in 1350 BC. He built them to adorn cities and places with the faces and life of Amenhotep and the story of the fairy-tale Memnon, the giant king of Greeks.
