Planning to visit Luxor? Then we have the perfect tour for you. Join us on this three-day, guided tour of Luxor and get the chance to discover the rich antiquity and stunning history of a city often referred to as the largest open-air museum in the world with an experienced Egyptologist as your tour guide.
The first two days of the itinerary involves seeing the most popular sights in Luxor, including the temple complex of Karnak, Valley of the Kings and the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut. Also included is a visit to the Luxor Museum, home to a rich collection of artwork dedicated to pharaohs.
However, this tour brings you face to face with not so well-known but equally impressive sights in the city, like the temples of Hathor and Abydos. While Hathor has inscriptions referring to the famous Egyptian Queen Cleopatra and her son Ceasrion, Abydos is considered to be older than pyramids by some scholars.
