What to Expect

Pick-up Service from your hotel

Pick-up Service from your hotel

  • You will be picked up by your Landious Travel representative from your hotel and taken to Luxor in an air-conditioned deluxe vehicle.
  • Today's Luxor, located on the Nile in Upper Egypt, flourished on the site of ancient Thebes, one of the most important cities in the country's history. Historians estimate that it was listed as the largest city in the world twice in its history - the first time around 1980 BC, when it overtook the city of Ur, the capital of ancient Mesopotamia, and again around 1400 BC when it overtook Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt.

Tour to Karnak Temple

Tour to Karnak Temple

  • Your first stop will be the famous Karnak Temple, the most prominent place of worship ever built, dating back over two thousand years. You will explore the complex of temples, including the impressive "Hypostyle Hall" with its colossal pillars.
  • The most important monument of Luxor is the Karnak Temple Complex, where temples are dedicated to Theban gods. The largest and most important of them is the one dedicated to the god, Amon.
  • The Karnak temple visit is, of course, a must-see on every tourist's list while visiting Egypt. With an experienced, knowledgeable, and passionate guide, our guests visit the Karnak Open Air Museum. The Karnak tours last about two hours because the Karnak Temple Complex occupies a huge area with temple complexes erected by several Egyptian rulers.

Lunch

Lunch in a local retaurant

  • Enjoy lunch in a local restaurant.

Tour to the Colossi of Memnon

Tour to the Colossi of Memnon

  • Next, you'll visit the West Bank of the Nile to see the Colossi of Memnon. The Colossi of Memnon are two gigantic statues of Amenophis III that presided over his funerary temple on the west bank of the Nile at Luxor. The statues, built 3,400 years ago, show the pharaoh at ease, hands on his knees, gazing at the rising sun. His mother, Queen Mutemwiya, and his wife, Queen Tiy, are sculpted on the lower part of the statues.

Tour to the Valley of the Kings

Tour to the Valley of the Kings

  • and then explore the Valley of the Kings, where you'll visit three magnificently decorated tombs carved deep into the desert rock. The Valley of the Kings, Wadi Biban el Muluk, has excited the interest and imagination of countless visitors over thousands of years.
  • The rulers of the Eighteenth, Nineteenth, and Twentieth Dynasties of Egypt’s prosperous New Kingdom (c.1550–1069 BC) were buried in a desolate valley across the River from the ancient city of Thebes (modern Luxor), hence its modern name of the Valley of the Kings. The Valley of the Kings is divided into the East and West Valleys. The eastern is by far the more iconic of the two, as the western valley contains only a handful of tombs. In all, the Valley of the Kings includes over sixty tombs and an additional twenty unfinished ones that are little more than pits.

Tour to the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut

Tour to the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut

  • Your tour continues with a visit to the impressive Hatshepsut Temple at El Deir El Bahary, dedicated to the only female pharaoh. Finally, you'll have some free time in Luxor before being driven back to your hotel.

Watch the real Egyptian life pass by and enjoy the fantastic scenes that have not changed in millennia, the children playing in the water, the camels and donkeys, the farmers going about their work in the same ways they have done for centuries, and admire the water buffalo and a wide variety of birds.

The motorboat will sail to the Banana Island “a land covered with banana plantations”. The boat captain will berth the motorboat off the island and your guide will take you on a short exploratory tour of the island, where you’ll be offered a refreshing cup of traditional Egyptian tea and some of the sweetest, most delicious bananas you have ever tasted.

    It's our clear recommendation

    Posted by Claire Williams on 21st Aug 2024

    Imagine three of us deciding just two days in advance to book a day tour from El Quseir to Luxor through Landious Travel. We were initially hesitant, unsure whether everything would turn out as planned. However, our worries were unfounded – in fact, quite the opposite. Our driver arrived punctually at the hotel at 5:00 a.m. in Luxor; our tour guide greeted us warmly and provided us with an exceptional day. His explanations were in-depth, communicated fluently in perfect English, and he patiently fielded all of our questions. Instead of being part of a large tour group, we had a personalized experience, just as we had hoped. We wouldn't hesitate to book another tour with Landious; it's our clear recommendation.

    I would not hesitate to choose Landious again

    Posted by Jon Biddle on 21st Aug 2024

    While exploring the internet, I stumbled upon Landious Travel, a fantastic travel agency that made my booking experience effortless and straightforward. Their customer service was top-notch, as they were incredibly accommodating, flexible, and attentive to my travel needs. I booked a day trip to Cairo, a city tour of Hurghada, and a snorkelling trip to Orange Bay (Giftun Island). I was extremely pleased with the overall service provided by Landious Travel, and all the pick-up and transfer arrangements went smoothly. I would not hesitate to choose them again for my travel needs.

    This won't be our last visit

    Posted by Kathy Cakebread on 21st Aug 2024

    Another provider unexpectedly cancelled our booked excursion, leaving us needing a quick replacement. Fortunately, we stumbled upon Landious Travel while searching for alternatives. We contacted them on WhatsApp and were impressed by their immediate and informative response. In a concise span of 15 minutes, we secured and confirmed a private day trip to Luxor at a very reasonable price. The punctual arrival of a Toyota limousine to pick us up added to our positive first impressions. The driver ensured a safe and efficient journey to our destination. Upon reaching Luxor, we were greeted by our guide, a native of Karnak, who astounded us with his excellent command of English and extensive expertise in the region's cultural treasures. He led us through a captivating visit to the Temple of Karnak and a delightful lunch overlooking the Nile. Our exploration continued to the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, culminating in a memorable photo session with the Colossi of Memnon. Undoubtedly, a single day is insufficient to appreciate all that Luxor has to offer fully. However, the exceptional organization and quality of the experience assured us that this won't be our last visit. We eagerly look forward to returning and engaging with the Landious team again!

    Such an excellent tour

    Posted by Mark Hinkle on 16th Aug 2024

    Booking was a breeze through WhatsApp, and we were informed that passports were necessary for insurance and transportation. Our journey began with a 4:00 a.m. pickup from our hotel in Marsa Alam. We had a comfortable 4-hour drive to Luxor in a private car with our excellent driver, Mahmoud. Upon arrival in Luxor, our Egyptologist warmly welcomed us, who impressed us with his fluent English. Our first stop was the magnificent Karnak Temple, followed by a leisurely trip on the Nile and a delightful lunch at a restaurant. The food was delicious! Our tour continued to the Valley of the Kings, the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, and finally, the Colossi of Memnon. The entire experience was nothing short of fantastic, and we can't thank Landious Travel enough for organizing such an excellent tour.

    We are immensely grateful to Landious

    Posted by Lara Logan on 15th Aug 2024

    We embarked on our first excursion to Luxor upon our inaugural visit to Egypt. Our journey commenced at the Hotel Tropitel Sahl Hasheesh in Hurghada at 5 a.m. The driver and our local tour guide were exceptionally attentive and provided thorough explanations, leaving us thoroughly satisfied. Our return to the hotel occurred around 8 p.m. Our second adventure to Cairo was equally delightful, with our departure at 2 a.m. and our return to the hotel at approximately 9 p.m. We are immensely grateful to Landious for orchestrating these experiences that left us feeling secure and enthusiastic about recommending Landious Travel to others.

    Unforgettable journey to Luxor

    Posted by Tony Ferguson on 15th Aug 2024

    The previous week, we embarked on an unforgettable journey to Luxor, where we had the opportunity to explore the magnificent Karnak Temple and the awe-inspiring Valley of the Kings. Our dedicated driver for the day was Ali, whose exceptional attentiveness and careful driving made our experience all the more enjoyable. He exuded warmth and was always up for a friendly chat. Upon reaching the Karnak Temple, we were greeted by our tour guide for the day, whose charming demeanour and profound knowledge left us utterly impressed. He effortlessly navigated through the site, skillfully avoiding the tourist crowds and granting us access to breathtaking tombs in the Valley of the Kings. The communication before and after the trip was equally pleasant and seamless, culminating in a flawlessly coordinated and thoroughly rewarding adventure.

    Landious Travel is a reliable travel partner

    Posted by Robert Wright on 14th Aug 2024

    Our experience with Landious Travel in Egypt was exceptional. We embarked on a day trip with a private guide, and it surpassed all our expectations. Our driver was courteous and kind and demonstrated outstanding skill in navigating the challenging traffic conditions quickly and efficiently. Our English-speaking tour guide, Ayman, was truly outstanding. His knowledge and fluency in English allowed him to answer all our questions professionally and clearly. He expertly coordinated our itinerary in consultation with our driver, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience. The Valley of the Kings offered us a serene and uncrowded environment to explore at our own pace, while the Karnak Temple left us in awe, proving to be a definite highlight of our trip to Luxor. I wholeheartedly recommend Landious Travel as a reliable travel partner, especially for the privilege of having Ayman as a private guide. If I ever return to Egypt, I wouldn't hesitate to choose Landious for another memorable adventure.

    A heartfelt thank you to the Landious team

    Posted by Amy Gilbert on 11th Aug 2024

    I want to share a memorable day trip to Luxor we went on. The adventure began at 5:15 AM when two drivers from the Landious agency picked us up in a comfortable minibus from our hotel in Sahl Hasheesh. Since we had booked a private tour, the minibus was exclusively for us. I was pleasantly surprised by the attentive and caring nature of the drivers, especially towards my brother, who has a slight physical handicap. The journey to Luxor was awe-inspiring. We traversed through mountainous terrain, with the morning sun casting a warm glow over the rugged landscape. As we approached Luxor, the scenery transformed into the breathtaking Nile Valley. The sight of fertile fields, traditional donkey carts, and locals in their colourful attire immersed us in a different world. Upon reaching Luxor, our knowledgeable guide, fluent in perfect English, joined us. Our first stop was the magnificent Karnak Temple, leaving us in utter awe of its grandeur. Following this, we explored the museum in Luxor before heading to the Nile for a delightful lunch. The ambience by the river, with a table in the front row, was indescribable. After a hearty meal, we boarded our private boat for a leisurely cruise across the Nile. Sipping coffee while enjoying the scenic beauty was another highlight of our day. However, the best was saved for last—our visit to the Valley of the Kings and the awe-inspiring burial chambers. Our guide's passion for Egyptian history and in-depth knowledge made this tour unforgettable. I cannot praise the Landious team enough for their seamless booking process and reliable transfer arrangements. From booking confirmations arriving promptly via WhatsApp to hassle-free on-site payments, the entire experience was impeccable. A heartfelt thank you to the Landious team – we eagerly anticipate our next adventure with them.

    I am genuinely grateful for the outstanding trip

    Posted by Cherry Healey on 11th Aug 2024

    On our recent private trip to Luxor, everything was impeccably organized. Our group of three had plenty of space in a comfortable minibus with eight seats. The punctual drivers picked us up from our hotel and ensured a safe journey to Luxor. Upon arrival, our knowledgeable guide joined us, and we embarked on an unforgettable itinerary that included visits to the Karnak Temple, a delightful lunch, and explorations of the Valley of the Kings and the Colossi of Memnon. The guide's expertise enriched our experience; even my children found the trip incredibly engaging. Despite visiting Luxor twice, I was pleasantly surprised by the discoveries and experiences. I am genuinely grateful for the outstanding trip.
