Highlights
- Temple of Karnak - Your professional Egyptologist tour guide will pick you up from your Luxor Hotel / Nile Cruise Lobby and then start a full day tour to visit the largest ancient cult temple ever built in Egypt, Karnak temple complex. Enjoy walking along the avenue of Sphinxes to enter the complex as your guide explains how the massive Karnak Facade was constructed. On entering the Temples of Karnak you will see each legacy left by the various pharaohs as the complex grew even larger. The key difference between Karnak and most of the other temples and sites in Egypt is the length of time over which it was developed and used. After finished, enjoy free time to explore at leisure
- Luxor Museum - Move on to visit Luxor Museum, inaugurated in 1975, most of the artifacts displayed at the Museum were discovered in the area of ancient Thebes. You will see two well preserved royal mummies of pharaohs; Ahmose I and Ramses I, were put on display in the Museum in March 2004. Luxor Museum prides itself on the quality of the pieces, and the uncluttered way in which they are displayed.
- Luxor Temple - Continue to visit Luxor Temple which was once joined to the Karnak Temple by a three-kilometer long Avenue of Sphinx, a portion of which marks the entrance to the temple. The temple entrance is dominated by statues of the great warrior pharaoh Ramses II, and one of the original pair of obelisk, the second of which now stands on the Place de la Concorde in Paris, French.
-
Mummification Museum - Continue to visit Luxor Mummification Museum, overlooking the River Nile, the Museum is a small yet interesting museum dedicated to explaining the ancient art of mummification. Displays human and animal mummies, tools used in the mummification process, explaining the art of mummification, a practice believed by the ancient Egyptians to be a critical part for the eternal life, examples of the types of objects traditionally buried with the dead.

Waleed was Amazing!!! - Me and my wife were travelling for our honeymoon and Waleed as the guide was simply amazing. Was really friendly, funny and had a lot of experience and confidence at what he did, as he had spent his younger years studying to make a career as an Egyptologist!!
Kept the conversation fun and it was more of story telling which kept us hooked! Fun guy and really comfortable to be around!
