Your East Bank adventure begins with a warm welcome from your tour guide, who will be waiting for you at your pickup location holding a sign, so there’s no need to search; they will find you. From the very beginning, your guide will give you their full attention, sharing insights during the drive and providing enriching commentary on everything you pass along the way.
Start your half-day tour with a visit to Karnak Temples, the largest place of worship ever built. This awe-inspiring complex was dedicated to the Theban triad: the god Amun, his wife Mut and their son Khonsu. Construction began during the Middle Kingdom and continued through to the Greco-Roman era, resulting in a vast and magnificent religious site filled with colossal columns, sacred lakes and intricately carved walls.
Next, you’ll head to the majestic Luxor Temple, built by Pharaoh Amenhotep III of the 18th Dynasty and completed by the great Ramses II of the 19th Dynasty. The temple was also dedicated to Amun-Ra, Mut and Khonsu and features an impressive avenue of sphinxes and the towering Obelisk of Ramses II standing at the entrance.
After the tour, enjoy a comfortable ride back to your hotel or cruise. If time permits and you’d like to see more, shop or explore local food, just let your guide know—we’re happy to customize your experience to fit your interests.
