This experience offers two half-day tours that cover the most iconic monuments on both the East and West Banks of Luxor. Highlights include the Valley of the Kings (Necropolis of Thebes), the impressive Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, the towering Colossi of Memnon, and the majestic Karnak and Luxor Temples.
