2-Day Luxor Tour Itinerary

Day 1: Fly from Cairo to Luxor and Explore East Bank Attractions

We will pick you up from your Cairo hotel early in the morning in a private AC car to catch your flight to Luxor. Upon arrival at Luxor airport, meet your private tour guide who will accompany you throughout the day.

Visit the Temple of Karnak:

The Karnak Temple is Egypt’s most impressive site and the largest temple complex ever constructed by man. It represents the culmination of many generations of ancient builders and pharaohs. The complex comprises three main temples, several smaller enclosed temples, and outer temples, spread across 247 acres.

Visit the Luxor Temple:

The Luxor Temple is significant for the Opet Festival, which was focused on this temple. Built largely by Amenhotep III and King Ramses II, it served as a venue for festival rituals aimed at reconciling the ruler’s human aspect with the divine office.

Lunch: Enjoy lunch served on an island, which includes a scenic boat ride.

Check-in: After lunch, check into a 5-star hotel to refresh before the next activity.

Evening Activity – Karnak Sound and Light Show:

The show begins with a historical overview of the birth of Thebes and the construction of the Karnak Temple. It narrates the glorious achievements of great Pharaohs, accompanied by a poetic description of the artistic treasures and legacy of the Karnak Temple.

Overnight: Return to your hotel to spend the night.


Day 2: Explore West Bank Attractions and Return to Cairo

Enjoy breakfast and check out from your Luxor hotel. Your private tour guide will escort you in a private air-conditioned vehicle to explore Luxor’s west bank attractions.

Visit the Valley of the Kings:

The Valley of the Kings is the final resting place of Egypt’s rulers from the 18th to the 20th dynasties. It contains the tombs of great pharaohs, including Ramses II and the boy pharaoh Tutankhamun. The tombs were well-stocked with goods for the afterlife, and much of the decoration has survived.

Visit the Temple of Hatshepsut:

This temple is one of the most beautiful and well-preserved ancient Egyptian temples, built on three levels with two wide ramps connecting them in the center.

Visit Memnon’s Colossi:

The only remnants of a complete mortuary temple are two massive stone statues of King Amenhotep III. These statues are made from quartzite sandstone blocks that were transported 700 kilometers to Luxor.

Lunch: Enjoy lunch at a restaurant with a beautiful view of the Nile before returning to your hotel.

Departure: After lunch, head back to your hotel for your flight to Cairo.

Amazing tour to the pyramids of Sakkara and Dahshur

January 1, 2025

This week we had a great tour with Mohamed to the pyramids of Sakkara and Dahshur as well as Memphis. He tailored the tour to our preferences, took a lot of time with us and gave us detailed background information on everything. It was also great that he never tired of taking the time to answer our many questions.

You can definitely tell that he has studied Egyptology as he has a very deep understanding of the subject and can explain everything well. He also speaks perfect English and is really good driver.

We would definitely book a tour with him again in a heartbeat and would recommend him to anyone. 🙂

Amazing Egypt Fun Tours

December 22, 2024

Highly Recommend Egypt Fun Tours!

Several weeks ago, I reached out to Egypt Fun Tours regarding a 9-hour layover in Cairo. From the very beginning, Hani Ahmed was responsive and professional, quickly providing a well-organized itinerary tailored to our limited time. The itinerary included a visit to the pyramids, other historical sites, a delicious dinner, and even a quick stop for souvenir shopping.

Upon arrival, Gilman efficiently assisted us in obtaining our day tourist visas (note: $25 per person in cash). She then introduced us to our guide, Mydo, who was absolutely phenomenal! Mydo’s knowledge, friendly demeanor, and ability to adjust the tour to our pace made the experience unforgettable.

We returned to the airport with plenty of time to relax before our flight. The entire experience was smooth, stress-free, and incredibly memorable. Egypt Fun Tours offers reasonable prices for a private, customized experience that truly exceeds expectations. Thank you, Egypt Fun Tours! We will definitely use your services again in the future.

Alexandria! Wow!

November 7, 2024

Muhammad is the best! He showed me a world I never thought possible! The tombs in Alexandria by far was my favorite! I never knew there was a place on earth that contained both Greek and Egyptian carvings in the same tombs! The history and culture of Egypt is so fascinating! I highly recommend booking with Muhammad!
