First Stop: Karnak Temple Complex
Your adventure starts at the awe-inspiring Karnak Temple, Temple of Karnak, one of the largest and most impressive religious structures ever built. Once known as Pr-Imn—the House of Amun—this sacred site was dedicated to the Theban Triad: Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. Spanning over 247 acres and developed over nearly 2,000 years (from the Middle Kingdom to the Greco-Roman period), Karnak is a true open-air museum.
As you walk through the vast hypostyle hall with its towering columns, gaze at intricate hieroglyphs, and stand beside the sacred lake where ancient priests performed purification rituals, every step you take echoes with the voices of pharaohs and priests. Your guide will bring each story to life with insights that reveal the spiritual and political power this place once held.
Lunch Break: Taste of Luxor
After immersing yourself in Karnak’s grandeur, you’ll enjoy a relaxing lunch at a local restaurant, sampling the authentic flavors of Luxor while soaking in the city’s timeless charm.
Afternoon: Luxor Temple
Next, you’ll visit the beautifully preserved Luxor Temple, a masterpiece of ancient design and devotion. Built primarily by Amenhotep III and Ramses II, the temple was central to the annual Opet Festival—a grand celebration meant to renew the divine energy of the ruler.
Here, you’ll stroll beneath elegant colonnades, marvel at colossal statues, and discover layers of history that span pharaonic, Roman, and even Islamic periods. It’s a living monument to the spiritual and cultural continuity of Egypt through the ages.
End of the Tour
As your day of discovery draws to a close, you’ll be comfortably transferred back to your hotel or Nile cruise, enriched with unforgettable memories and a deeper connection to Egypt’s eternal legacy.

Being in Luxor for a single day is preferable to staying away. The main attractions in Luxor may be seen in one day. You can go to Hatshepsut Temple, the Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple, and possibly one or two other monuments on a day excursion to Luxor. The truthful response would be that a day trip to Luxor is insufficient.
It is frequently described as the largest open-air museum in the world and for a good cause. You may find a ton of ruins, monuments, temples, and tombs there. You'll need at least two days of Egypt day tours to discover all that Luxor has to offer without feeling rushed.
Unless you travel with a tour group, visiting Luxor on your own can be rather stressful. Luxor has so many archaeological sites and things to do that touring each temple and cemetery may take several days and a lot of money!
There are no set meter rates for cabs in Luxor, although depending on your negotiation skills, the majority of journeys will cost between 5 and 150 Egyptian pounds (approximately $0.50 to $17). Uber and other ride-hailing services are not available in Luxor.
You should set aside about $200 for Luxor excursions, which would likely involve visiting the Luxor and Karnak Temples. West Bank Temples and the Valley of Kings and Queens. Felucca rides at sunset.

Absolutely mind blowing. A definite must see. We flew from Aswan after I contact them, as I did not want to sit in car for hours with my 10-year-old daughter. Just so much history and ancient love. You cannot miss this one thing if you are in Cairo. The rocks are just HUGE, so special.
I recently traveled with my wife, daughter, son in law and two grandsons (ages 4 and 2). We had a private tour experience. From the moment we landed at the airport on our arrival to the day we left we were treated with the utmost care and attention
Our trip to was wonderful. The accommodations and travel was seamlessly arranged by customer service rep, Mona, and we visited so many of the famous Egyptian antiquities. I would not have done the trip without the very knowledgeable guides, Ashraf and Mamdouh
