Itinerary

Day 1 – Hot Air Balloon Ride & West Bank Highlights

Hot Air Balloon Ride Over Luxor

Start your day with a sunrise hot air balloon ride over the West Bank of Luxor, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Nile, ancient temples, and Theban hills. Floating high above the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, and the scattered villages gives you a magical perspective of Egypt’s timeless landscape. The early morning light paints the monuments and the desert in golden hues, making this one of the most unforgettable moments of your trip.

Valley of the Kings

After landing, continue your exploration with a visit to the Valley of the Kings, the royal necropolis where Egypt’s most powerful pharaohs were buried. The richly decorated tombs, hieroglyphic-covered walls, and underground chambers bring the story of ancient Egypt’s beliefs and burial traditions to life.

Temple of Queen Hatshepsut

Visit the stunning Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, uniquely built into the cliffs of Deir El-Bahari. This temple stands as a powerful symbol of Egypt’s most successful female pharaoh and showcases impressive terraces, grand statues, and detailed reliefs.

Colossi of Memnon

Stop by the Colossi of Memnon, two monumental statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III that have stood in place for over three millennia. These impressive figures are among Luxor’s most iconic landmarks.

Day 2 – East Bank Exploration & Felucca Sailing

Karnak Temple

Begin your second day with a tour of the Karnak Temple Complex, the largest and most significant religious structure in ancient Egypt. Walk among the massive columns of the Hypostyle Hall, see sacred lakes, and explore towering obelisks that once symbolized the immense power of the gods.

Luxor Temple

Continue to Luxor Temple, located in the center of the city. This temple was central to ancient festivals and features detailed statues, grand pylons, and well-preserved reliefs that illustrate the deep religious life of Thebes.

Felucca Ride on the Nile

End your day with a private felucca ride on the Nile River. Sailing on a traditional wooden boat offers a quiet, scenic moment to reflect on your Luxor journey. The felucca glides along the riverbanks, where you can see palm groves, farmlands, and local life unfolding along the Nile. This peaceful sailing experience is the perfect contrast to the grand monuments you’ve explored.
