Pay a visit to the East and West Banks of Luxor to discover some of Egypt's most magnificent archaeological landmarks. Explore both the Karnak and Luxor temples before marveling at the lavish burial ground of the Valley of the Kings and the striking sight of Hatshepsut Temple.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the ancient city of Thebes covers Luxor’s East and West Banks of the Nile. Begin on the east side as you admire the vast rooms, obelisks, and Sacred Lake of the Karnak complex. Wander along the Avenue of the Sphinxes that connects with the Luxor Temple, home to impressive statues of Pharaoh Ramses II.

Make the journey across the river to see grand architecture used for burial purposes and learn how the tombs were carved out of the desert rock, decorated, and filled with treasures to accompany the ruling classes into the afterlife. Marvel at the 2 soaring statues that form the Colossi of Memnon before your tour is completed at the Hatshepsut Temple, the 3-tiered mortuary lying in a dramatic cliff-base spot.
