Product Info
Begin your private East Bank experience in Luxor with pickup from your hotel or selected pickup point, then travel by private air-conditioned vehicle with your guide. This tour is created for guests who want a focused temple route, spending the day around Karnak Temple Tour, Luxor Temple Tour, and Avenue Of Sphinxes Tour only. It is ideal for travelers who prefer a clean East Bank program without adding West Bank tombs, Queen Hatshepsut Temple, Colossi Of Memnon, museum visits, Nile sailing, or hot air balloon activities. Transfer time may vary depending on your hotel location, and final pickup details will be confirmed one day before your activity.
The route begins with Karnak Temple Tour, one of the main ancient temple areas in Luxor. This first stop gives the experience a strong opening through large temple spaces, historic details, and the atmosphere of one of the city’s most important heritage sites. With your selected guide language, the visit becomes more organized and easier to follow. Your guide explains the site according to the confirmed package, ticketing process, access conditions, local operation, and daily timing.
After Karnak, continue to Luxor Temple Tour, the main keyword focus of this product.

This stop gives guests another side of East Bank heritage, where architecture, history, and city surroundings create a different feeling from Karnak.
