Itinerary of Luxor East Bank Day Trip:
Your Luxor East Bank Tour begins with a comfortable pick-up from your hotel in a private A/C vehicle. With your expert Egyptologist, you’ll follow a smooth plan that balances depth and pace, focusing on the East Bank’s two iconic temple complexes.
Karnak Temple:
Walk into one of the ancient world’s most powerful sacred precincts honoring Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. From Middle Kingdom beginnings to Greco-Roman layers, Karnak unfolds as a city of temples: the Great Hypostyle Hall with its towering columns, the Sacred Lake, chapels, obelisks, and processional avenues that once linked temples across Thebes. (Typical visit: ~1.5–2 hours with photo stops.)
As you move between the complexes, you’ll see sections of the historic Avenue of Sphinxes—the ceremonial route lined with sphinx statues that once connected Karnak to Luxor Temple, central to festival processions in ancient Thebes.
Break for lunch at a Nile-view restaurant to recharge before continuing your East Bank journey.
Luxor Temple:
Celebrated for the Opet Festival and largely built by Amenhotep III and Ramses II, Luxor Temple formed a majestic stage where kingship met the divine. Stroll past colossal statues, pylons, and the famed colonnade; notice living layers of history reflected in later additions. Sunset often adds a golden glow that makes reliefs and courts even more captivating. (Typical visit: ~1–1.5 hours.)
After the visits, enjoy a relaxed transfer back to your hotel in Luxor to conclude a richly narrated East Bank day.
