Tour Overview

Day Tour to Luxor by Air from Sharm El Sheikh

Travel to Luxor in one day by flying from Sharm El Sheikh. On the East Bank, you can visit the Valley of the Kings and the Hatshepsut Temple. On the West Bank, you can explore the Karnak and Luxor temples, the latter of which is optional. While Luxor is often called the world's largest open-air museum, this label doesn't capture the true grandeur of this incredible place. The majesty of ancient Thebes is unmatched. Luxor was once the capital of the "New Kingdom Pharaohs" (1570–1090 BC) and is home to the highest concentration of historical archaeological sites in the Nile Valley.

The East and West Banks of the Nile are home to the most important historical sites.

The magnificent Temple of Karnak stands on the East Bank, known as the "City of the Living." The Colossi of Memnon, the Valley of the Kings, and the stunning Queen Hatshepsut funerary temple are located on the West Bank, known as the "City of the Dead." By traveling from the East Bank to the West Bank in one day, you will experience two remarkable tours in a single day.
