Uncover the wonders of Luxor’s East Bank on this immersive half-day escape, dedicated to two of Egypt’s most breathtaking sanctuaries: Karnak and Luxor Temples.

Embark on an enriching journey through Luxor’s East Bank, where the city’s rich ancient history unfolds before you. Your tour begins with a visit to the magnificent Karnak Temple Complex, one of the largest and most impressive religious sites in Egypt. As you wander through its towering columns, expansive halls, and sacred lake, you’ll be transported back to a time of ancient rituals and grand devotion.
Next, make your way to the Luxor Temple, a majestic structure dedicated to the god Amun. This temple’s beauty is especially striking at night when it is beautifully illuminated, providing an unforgettable atmosphere that highlights its architectural grandeur.
Your exploration continues at the Luxor Museum, a treasure trove of ancient Egyptian artifacts. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to admire sculptures, mummies, and other historical pieces that offer a deeper understanding of the region’s fascinating past.
To wrap up your tour, take a leisurely walk along the Avenue of Sphinxes, the ancient pathway that once connected the Karnak Temple to Luxor Temple. As you stroll along this historic avenue, you’ll feel the weight of history surrounding you, with statues standing as silent witnesses to the grandeur of the past.

These reductions apply when children share a room with two full-paying adults. Some luxury properties and Nile cruise vessels impose different rules or minimum ages for younger guests, and any such restrictions will be spelled out in your itinerary.

Keeping a modest amount of Egyptian Pounds (EGP) on hand is useful for small purchases, tipping and browsing the bazaars.
Known locally as “baksheesh”, tipping is woven into the fabric of Egyptian hospitality. It is never obligatory, but it is warmly received:
Gratuities are not included in the package price, so it helps to keep a stash of small USD or EGP notes to hand out easily throughout your trip.
Egypt is at its most inviting during the cooler winter stretch from November to February, when clear skies and pleasant temperatures make walking around the pyramids, temples and open-air sites genuinely enjoyable. Try to sidestep the height of summer between June and August, when the mercury regularly climbs beyond 40°C (104°F) across much of the country.
In general, visitors to Egypt should have the following in order before travelling:
Passport: Valid for at least six months from the date of entry.
Visa: Depending on your nationality, a visa may be arranged in advance, granted on arrival, or issued electronically as an e-visa.
Travel Insurance: Strongly recommended to cover medical care, cancellations and any unexpected disruptions.
Vaccinations: No specific jabs are mandatory to enter the country, though a quick chat with your GP or travel clinic is always sensible.
Egypt is broadly regarded as a safe destination for international visitors, with a strong tourism-police presence around the country’s headline sites and major cities. As with any journey abroad, it is prudent to review the latest advisories issued by your foreign ministry and keep an ear on local news throughout your stay.
Decide Your Travel Dates and Budget
Fix your travel window and set a realistic overall budget first, as this shapes every downstream choice from flights and hotels to which tours you can comfortably fit in.
Choose Your Itinerary and Destinations
From Cairo and the Pyramids of Giza to Luxor, Aswan, a Nile Cruise, Alexandria and the Red Sea coast, Egypt offers a wealth of options. Map out the highlights that matter most to you and roughly how many nights each deserves.
Find a Reliable Tour Operator or Travel Agency
Whether you book with a local Egyptian specialist, an international agency or a reputable online platform, take the time to read genuine reviews and confirm the company’s credentials before committing.
Select a Tour Package or Customize Your Trip
Ready-made packages usually bundle flights, hotels, transfers and guided visits, but most reputable operators will happily tailor a private itinerary around your interests, pace and budget.
Make a Reservation
Once you have settled on an itinerary, get in touch with the operator to confirm availability, share your passenger details and pay either a deposit or the full amount, depending on their policy.
Prepare Your Travel Documents
Double-check your passport validity, secure your Egyptian visa where necessary and keep printed or digital copies of every booking confirmation, hotel voucher and tour reference to hand.
Pack and Get Ready
Pack sensibly for the season and the activities on your programme, with sturdy walking shoes, sun protection and a universal travel adapter high on the list.
Enjoy Your Trip!
Once you land, follow the itinerary, stay in touch with your guide or agency, and simply give yourself over to Egypt’s extraordinary history, culture and hospitality.
Tipping, or “baksheesh”, is deeply rooted in Egyptian culture and rarely built into the headline tour price. Guides, drivers, hotel staff and other service providers all appreciate a small acknowledgement of good work, with a general benchmark of around 10-15% of the bill or service value serving as a helpful guide.
