Overview

Discover Luxor’s East Bank Temples

This full-day tour departs from your Luxor hotel or Nile cruise ship and visits only the East Bank of Luxor, covering Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple. It is the only Luxor tour built around the East Bank exclusively, with no West Bank stops added to the itinerary. The tour runs approximately 4 to 6 hours, returning you to your hotel or cruise ship the same day.

A private air-conditioned vehicle picks you up from the Luxor hotel or Nile cruise ship in the morning and drives directly to Karnak Temple for a guided visit through the temple complex. From Karnak Temple, the group breaks for lunch at a local restaurant before continuing to Luxor Temple on the Nile Corniche for the afternoon visit. The vehicle then returns to the Luxor hotel or Nile cruise ship to conclude the tour.

No other East Bank tour from Luxor limits its itinerary to Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple alone, keeping the day focused on temple architecture rather than combining it with West Bank tomb sites. Travelers who want to add Valley of the Kings or other West Bank stops will find those covered on separate Luxor tour pages. Those planning a full Luxor itinerary sometimes check other Luxor day trips to compare how East Bank visits fit with West Bank excursions and additional landmarks. Travelers curious about tombs and West Bank monuments may choose to extend their visit with a Valley of the Kings tour from Luxor.

The tour was exactly what we were looking for. We wanted to see Luxor’s main temples without spending the whole day moving between different sites. Our guide was knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and explained the history in a way that made the temples much more interesting. Everything was well organized from pickup to drop-off.
