Luxor · Programme

Luxor in 3 days

Three days across both banks of the Nile: Karnak and Luxor Temple, the Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut, then Medinet Habu and the tombs of the nobles.

The experience

Luxor in Three Days: Temples, Royal Tombs & the West Bank

Luxor holds more than any single day can show. Three days lets each bank have its own time: the temples and museums of the East Bank first, then an early start in the Valley of the Kings, and a final day for the quieter mortuary temples and the painted tombs of the nobles.

The programme can lean towards tombs, museums or a slower family pace, and can swap the last day for a trip to Dendera or Esna. Tell us how you like to travel and we will shape it with you.
