Luxor Full Day Private Tour: West Bank & East Bank - Temples & Tombs

You will have a private tour to the old necropolis in the Theban Mountains on the West Bank of Luxor. We start at the spectacular Valley of the Kings where you will descend into 3 Royal Tombs. Next is a visit to the rock hewn mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut in Deir El Bahari where you are pointed out the most beautiful murals and have time to wander around yourself. We continue for a quick photo-stop at the Colossi of Memnon, two immense statues guarding the ongoing excavation of the palace of Amenophis III. After lunch at a good local restaurant we drive back to the East Bank to visit the Karnak Temple to show you where Pharaohs like Tutankhamun, Hatchepsut and Ramses II performed their sacred rituals. The Karnak Temple complex contains holy lakes, hypostyle halls, obelisks, pylons and shrines. The Luxor Temple, gracefully decorates the banks of the river Nile, dedicated, not to a deity or pharaoh but to the Rejuvenation of Kingship and center of the Opet Festival.
