🏛️ Karnak Temple: The largest temple complex ever built by human hands – covering 247 hectares and spanning more than 2,000 years of construction by generations of pharaohs. Its legendary hypostyle hall of 134 columns – the tallest rising to 24 metres – is one of the most breathtaking architectural spaces in the ancient world. Dedicated to the god Amun-Ra, the complex includes multiple precincts, sacred lakes and avenues of sphinxes.
🍽️ Lunch at a local restaurant – included.
🌙 Luxor Temple: Built by Amenhotep III around 1400 BC and expanded by Ramses II – dedicated to the rejuvenation of kingship. Many Egyptologists believe pharaohs were crowned here. Its avenue of sphinxes connects it to Karnak 3 km to the north, and it glows magnificently in the late afternoon light.
🍳 Breakfast at the hotel. Pick-up at 9:00 AM.
👑 Valley of the Kings: On the West Bank of the Nile, this royal necropolis served as the final resting place of the New Kingdom pharaohs from the 16th to the 11th century BC. 63 known tombs are carved into the limestone cliffs , discovered in 1922. Mobile photography without flash is now free of charge.

Frequently Asked Questions – 2 Day Luxor Tour from Cairo by Plane
What Our Guests Say About the 2 Day Luxor Tour from Cairo ⭐
“We were staying in Cairo and wanted to see Luxor without spending 8 hours on a bus. The flight was the perfect solution – we arrived fresh and our guide was already waiting. Karnak Temple on day one was extraordinary. The Valley of the Kings the next day was the most moving experience of our entire Egypt trip.”
“The free Nile cruise was a genuine surprise – an hour on the river between the Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut Temple was the most relaxing moment of the trip. Our Egyptologist was exceptional throughout both days. No shopping stops, no rushing – exactly what we wanted.”
“Luxor Temple in the late afternoon light on day one was breathtaking. The hypostyle hall at Karnak is something no photograph can prepare you for. The 5-star hotel was a perfect base and the return flight was smooth and punctual. Memnon Reisen handled every detail perfectly.”
“We did this Luxor tour from Cairo as a family and it was the highlight of our entire Egypt holiday. Our guide brought every tomb in the Valley of the Kings to life with stories our children will never forget. The Colossi of Memnon were the favourite photo stop. Highly recommended.”
