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.

    Personalized experience

    Posted by Natalie Gulbis on 24th Aug 2024

    We had the most beautiful experience during our excursion with Landious Travel! Our day started with a comfortable pickup directly from our hotel, and we were safely brought back at the end of the day. The highlight was the personalized experience - we were just five people on the spacious bus, which allowed us to enjoy the tour thoroughly. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and provided captivating information throughout the day. His flawless English and deep expertise made the experience even more enriching. The itinerary was exceptional. We began our journey by exploring the magnificent Karnak Temple, followed by a relaxing boat ride on the Nile. Our lunch at a restaurant overlooking the Nile was genuinely delightful. We then continued to the awe-inspiring Valley of the Kings and the striking Temple of Hatshepsut. To top it off, we had a memorable photo stop at the Colossi of Memnon. We wholeheartedly recommend this outstanding excursion with Landious Travel and look forward to joining another tour soon!

    Perfect day trip from Makadi Bay to Luxor

    Posted by Autumn Brueckmann on 24th Aug 2024

    During our visit to Makadi Bay, we arranged a delightful private tour through landious-travel.com. The knowledgeable and English-speaking guide, Michael, and his driver led our day-long excursion to Luxor. We were promptly picked up from our hotel at 5:30 a.m. and commenced our journey to Luxor by car. Once in Luxor, we had the opportunity to explore the magnificent Karnak Temple, the historic Valley of the Kings, the impressive Hatshepsut Temple, and the awe-inspiring Memnon Colossi. Additionally, we enjoyed a delightful Nile cruise to the opposite bank, where a delectable lunch awaited us. It's worth noting that the cost of the entire tour covered our tickets and drinks as well as the splendid lunch. What stood out was that this wasn't a run-of-the-mill tour – it was a truly immersive and engaging experience. I highly recommend this extraordinary excursion.

    An experience that filled us with awe

    Posted by Brigitte Gabriel on 23rd Aug 2024

    Our day trip from Hurghada to Luxor with Landious Travel was an extraordinary experience that filled us with awe and excitement. Booking the trip through WhatsApp was effortless, and from the moment we set foot in Luxor, our guide, Michael and the driver ensured that every moment was catered to our well-being. Michael, our guide, possessed incredible knowledge about Egypt and its storied history. Our questions were answered thoroughly and engagingly, enhancing our understanding and appreciation of this ancient land. We felt completely at ease, knowing we were in the hands of someone who was not only knowledgeable but also passionate about Egypt's history. The trip itself was beyond words. Witnessing the iconic sites we had previously only seen on TV was an experience that cannot be put into words or captured in photographs. The rich history and the incredible sights profoundly impacted us, and we left with memories etched in our minds and hearts—souvenirs that would stay with us long after our vacation ended. Venturing outside Hurghada gave us a different perspective on the country and its people. We delved into a captivating history and were enveloped in countless enchanting moments throughout the day. We express our deepest gratitude for this unforgettable journey and eagerly anticipate our next adventure in El Gouna.

    Cairo, Luxor & Sharm El Naga

    Posted by Chris Wearing on 21st Aug 2024

    We embarked on three incredible excursions arranged by Landious Travel. Our adventures included visiting Sharm El Naga, a captivating day trip to Luxor, and a two-day exploration of Cairo. Our journey to Luxor was made even more enjoyable by our amiable driver, Ali, who expertly navigated the bustling roads. Upon arriving at the majestic Karnak Temple, we had the pleasure of meeting an incredibly knowledgeable Egyptologist. His command of English and his ability to convey a wealth of information about Egypt, both past and present, left us in awe. Our time in Cairo was equally memorable. Our guide led us through the Egyptian Museum, and the following day, we were treated to awe-inspiring views of the Giza pyramids and Saqqara. Not only was our guide incredibly personable and humorous, but he also managed to forge a great bond with our son, which is no small feat. Landious Travel is dedicated to creating personalized excursions that cater to every whim and desire. Unlike traditional group tours, we could dictate the pace and content of our adventures. Whether we wanted to modify our plans on short notice or incorporate additional activities, the staff at Landious Travel always accommodated our requests easily.
