Experience Ancient Egypt for a whole day

The Luxor tour in Egypt was truly an immersive experience of ancient civilization.
It was a guided tour booked through Trip.com, covering both the East and West Banks in a single day.

The day started early with a visit to the Karnak Temple. The sight of the massive rows of stone columns was overwhelming, and it was hard to believe that people built such structures thousands of years ago. Walking through the shadows cast by the columns under the sunlight was an unforgettable experience.

Next was the Luxor Temple. Though smaller than Karnak, it had a more delicate and tranquil charm. The long avenue lined with sphinx statues was particularly impressive.

After lunch, the tour continued to the West Bank. At the Valley of the Kings, I even entered Tutankhamun's tomb, where the vivid colors of the wall paintings were astonishing. At the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, I felt the grandeur of the female pharaoh, and at the final stop, the Colossi of Memnon, I stood in awe before the statues bathed in the red hues of the sunset.

The guide spoke English and provided excellent explanations while also helping with photos, which was very satisfying. The itinerary was efficiently planned, making the travel smooth, and there were breaks for restrooms and café stops, which were appreciated.

The Luxor tour felt less like sightseeing and more like a time-traveling experience. If you're visiting Egypt, I highly recommend dedicating a day to Luxor.
