An ancient sanctuary surrounded by honking taxis, touts, and strolling families, Luxor Temple’s grandeur has endured more than 3,000 years on the East Bank of the Nile. Linked to Karnak Temple via the Avenue of Sphinxes, Luxor Temple boasts soaring colonnades, elaborate columns, statues, and images of Amenhotep III and Ramses II.

Medinet Habu Tour

On Luxor’s West Bank, Ramses III built his magnificent mortuary temple with intricate relief carvings and shrines. With its wonderfully preserved art, Medinet Habu represents the pharaoh's royal legacy and is among Luxor’s most important ancient sites. Images of hunting trips, prisoner executions, and battles with the Sea Peoples offer a window into ancient history.

You will also be able to visit some other temples inside Habu Temple such as the Temple of Amun dating to the 18th Dynasty, built by Queen Hatshepsut and Thutmose III. It has undergone many alterations and modifications over the years.

Motorboat Nile Trip

Enjoy the motorboat tour in the longest Nile in the world while enjoying the sights of Luxor from the water along with a cosy atmosphere. Enjoy refreshing breezes with a ride on the traditional Egyptian motorboat and the bewitching skyline of Luxor, while listening to some famous Egyptian songs.

Soak up stellar views of Luxor Temple, Winter Palace Hotel and the riverfront. Snap photos and make memories. It's a family-friendly cruise ideal for all ages.

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.

    We are immensely grateful

    Posted by Kristen Schaa on 15th Jul 2024

    During our trip to Luxor and the Valley of the Kings, we were guided by an incredibly knowledgeable and passionate tour guide. His expertise and ability to communicate in excellent English made the trip truly unforgettable. His depth of knowledge about events over 7000 years ago was genuinely astonishing, and he quickly answered all of our questions. He was a true expert in the field, and his passion was infectious. We are immensely grateful for the day we spent with him and hope to have the chance to meet again in the future—best wishes to our excellent guide.

    Luxor with Habu Temple

    Posted by Jeff Timmer on 15th Jul 2024

    My family and I sought a more exclusive and personalised experience during our recent trip to Egypt, so we booked two private excursions through Landious Travel. Travelling with a group of six, we opted for a small bus instead of the conventional big coaches. One of the excursions, Luxor, with a new program, truly exceeded our expectations. The journey began with two friendly drivers picking us up in Hurghada and driving us to Luxor, with several short and refreshing breaks along the way. Upon arrival in Luxor, our guide provided excellent photo opportunities while keeping the crowds at bay, allowing us to enjoy a truly exclusive tour. We were captivated by the beauty of Luxor Temple, which we found equally impressive as the more commonly visited Karnak Temple. The trip also included visiting the stunningly well-preserved Habu Temple, where we marvelled at the vibrant colours and gained insightful knowledge about ancient Egyptian building methods from our knowledgeable guide. We highly recommend this excursion to fellow travellers who seek a more unique and in-depth experience, especially if they have already taken the standard tours multiple times. Overall, our experience with Landious Travel was exceptionally satisfying. The email communication leading up to the excursions was prompt, seamless, and efficient. Additionally, the booking process was hassle-free, and the timely delivery of our group photos was a thoughtful touch that added to our overall enjoyment of the trip.

    During our second tour to Luxor, we had an extraordinary experience that will be etched in our memories. Once again, the professionalism and personalized service were truly impressive. Our driver ensured a safe and efficient journey, showing excellent friendliness and attentiveness. Our guide's superb command of English allowed him to eloquently convey the significance of the sights and the history, including fascinating insights into the connections between ancient Egyptian religion and later belief systems. I'm thrilled that we even learned to read a few hieroglyphs! Moreover, we gained valuable insights into contemporary life in Egypt. I wholeheartedly recommend such a personalized tour.

    Fascinating Luxor with Valley of the Kings

    Posted by Mathew Ingram on 14th Jul 2024

    We had a fantastic trip with a highly knowledgeable guide who organised the experience perfectly. Our guide shared fascinating insights and even took us to an off-the-beaten-path temple that wasn't originally part of the itinerary. This was the benefit of booking a private tour, as we explored hidden gems not typically included in group tours. Our driver also significantly contributed to the trip's success, despite the tiring 7-hour journey there and back. Overall, it was an unforgettable day, and we are grateful. We can't thank everyone involved enough for making it such a fantastic trip.

    our best holiday experiences

    Posted by Lauren Dwyer on 14th Jul 2024

    During our Luxor private day trip as a couple, we had an incredible experience we'll never forget. Our driver picked us up promptly at 4:30 am in front of the hotel lobby, and we embarked on a scenic four-hour drive to Luxor. Upon arrival at the Karnak Temple, our guide warmly welcomed us and provided detailed information at each tour spot. Afterwards, we had ample time to explore, capturing stunning photos of the beautiful surroundings. Our well-being was always a priority throughout the day, with refreshing drinks readily available. Our lunch on the Nile promenade in Luxor was not only delicious but also served generously. We thank our guide, who was knowledgeable, friendly, and spoke English fluently. Thanks mainly to the guide's recommendation, this excursion was one of our best holiday experiences yet.

    Fantastic trip with an exceptional driver and an outstanding tour guide

    Posted by Taylor Martin on 14th Jul 2024

    I just returned from a fantastic trip with an exceptional driver and an outstanding tour guide. We were picked up on time at the hotel in El Gouna at 4 a.m. Our driver was prompt and very courteous, making us feel incredibly safe throughout our journey. Our tour guide joined us just before we reached Luxor, and I have to say, I've never met anyone so warm and knowledgeable. Not only did he explain everything with great clarity, but as a professor of hieroglyphs, he could also decipher the inscriptions in the temples and burial chambers. His insight and expertise were awe-inspiring. Moreover, thanks to his knowledge of the major tour operators' schedules, he always managed to plan our itinerary in a way that allowed us to avoid the crowds at most stops. Our typical Egyptian lunch was delicious, adding an authentic touch to our experience. Overall, the trip was a huge success, and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable journey.
