Overview

Discover Luxor with a private and fully customizable sightseeing ride designed around your interests and pace. Travel comfortably with your English-speaking Welcome Driver, who ensures smooth transportation between the city’s major landmarks while sharing helpful local insights. Although not a licensed guide, your driver knows Luxor well and helps create a relaxed and stress-free experience.

Your journey can include highlights from both the West Bank and East Bank of the Nile. On the West Bank, visit the famous Valley of the Kings. Continue to the striking Temple of Hatshepsut, built dramatically against limestone cliffs, and stop for photos at the Colossi of Memnon, two monumental statues standing for more than 3,000 years.

Cross to the East Bank to explore the vast Karnak Temple Complex with its colossal columns and sacred structures, then finish at the elegant Luxor Temple, connected historically by the Avenue of Sphinxes before returning to your hotel.
