Where we’ll go
Four days out, all built around the temples. Each one is private, just your group and me.[transport: car and driver included?]
Karnak, in depth
Early morning[duration]from $[price]
The largest temple complex of ancient Egypt, built and rebuilt over two thousand years. We take it slowly: the Great Hypostyle Hall, the obelisks, the sacred lake, and the reliefs most visitors walk straight past.
See the routeLuxor Temple at sunset
Late afternoon into evening[duration]from $[price]
Built mainly by Amenhotep III and Ramesses II, in the middle of today’s town. We arrive in the late light and stay as the floodlights come on, ending on the Avenue of Sphinxes that once linked this temple to Karnak.

Full day[duration]from $[price]
Karnak in the morning, a long lunch break out of the heat, the Luxor Museum in the afternoon, and Luxor Temple as the sun goes down. The fullest way to see the city of the living.
See the routeWest Bank temples
Early morning[duration]from $[price]
Across the Nile to the city of the dead. We focus on the temples, where I can guide you all the way through: Hatshepsut’s terraces under the cliffs, the colour at Medinet Habu, and the Colossi of Memnon.

Why the temples come first
Guides aren’t allowed to talk inside the tombs of the Valley of the Kings. In the temples, I can stand with you in front of a wall and show you who is speaking, to which god, and what they are asking for.
That’s where a guide makes the biggest difference, so that’s where I put the time. If you want the tombs too, I add the Valley of the Kings to the West Bank day, explain each tomb before you go in, and wait for you outside.
