Among its most celebrated discoveries is the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun (KV62), uncovered intact in 1922. The tomb contained thousands of precious artifacts, the famous golden mask, the mummy of the young king, which remains inside his tomb, Another notable tomb belongs to Ramesses II, one of Egypt’s greatest and most powerful pharaohs.

    3. Colossi of Memnon

      Standing proudly on the west bank of the Nile near Luxor, the Colossi of Memnon are two gigantic stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, who ruled during Egypt’s golden age. Each statue stands about 18 meters high and once guarded the entrance to his magnificent mortuary temple, now lost to time. In ancient times, one of the statues was famous for producing a mysterious “singing” sound at dawn, believed by the Greeks to be the voice of the hero Memnon greeting his mother, the goddess of the morning. Today, the Colossi remain silent but awe-inspiring — timeless guardians of the Theban necropolis and powerful symbols of ancient Egypt’s grandeur.

Built mainly by Amenhotep III and Ramesses II, it was dedicated to the god Amun-Ra and symbolized the renewal of kingship. Unlike other temples, Luxor Temple wasn’t for worshiping a single god, but for celebrating the Opet Festival, when statues of the gods traveled from Karnak to Luxor in a grand procession along the Avenue of Sphinxes. As night falls, the temple glows beautifully under golden lights, creating one of the most magical scenes in all of Egypt — a place where history truly comes alive.

    Full day tour to the East and west banks of luxor .: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.

    How much does Full day tour to the East and west banks of luxor . cost?

    +

    Prices start at $15 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Luxor usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Full day tour to the East and west banks of luxor . take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Luxor is not rushed.

    Is Full day tour to the East and west banks of luxor . worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 30 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Luxor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Full day tour to the East and west banks of luxor .?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Full day tour to the East and west banks of luxor . suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Full day tour to the East and west banks of luxor .?

    +

    Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Luxor can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Luxor and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full day tour to the East and west banks of luxor . start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Luxor within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Luxor?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Luxor experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Half Day Luxor Tour Valley of Kings & Queens, Hatshepsut, Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor (Private), Private Half day Tour to West bank. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Luxor?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Luxor?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Full day tour to the East and west banks of luxor .?

    +

    Included: Regular entry tickets , licensed tour guide , a bottle of water , snacks bag. Not included: Extra tickets, meals , tipping. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
