This private tour flies you from Cairo to Luxor to explore the ruins of ancient Thebes in a single day. With an expert guide, visit the Valley of the Kings, the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut and the Colossi of Memnon on the West Bank of the Nile, then Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple on the East Bank. Round-trip flights, entry fees, lunch and a private vehicle are all included, so there is little to arrange yourself. Only your group uses the private vehicle and guide.
