Choose a comfortable pace
Both temples require walking, but concentrating on two sites allows more flexibility for pauses. Tell us whether you want broad context or closer attention to inscriptions and architecture.
Ground conditions
Expect uneven stone, steps and exposed areas. Accessible routing needs advance discussion; a shorter route may be necessary even when transport is private.
Timing requests
Ask if you have a preferred light or photography window. An evening visit or special programme is not assumed and must be checked against access and transport arrangements.
The written quotation takes precedence over this suggested programme. Check the final services, guiding arrangements and any optional costs before confirming.
Good to know.
What are the rates for different group sizes?
This tour is private. Rates start at $65 per person for 2 guests. Solo travelers pay $104 for dedicated transport and guiding, while parties of 3–5 pay $53 per person, and 6+ guests pay $46 per person.
Will we walk the whole Avenue of Sphinxes?
Not by default. If that walk is important, request it in advance so distance, admission and the total schedule can be considered.
Can this follow a morning arrival in Luxor?
Possibly, depending on your arrival time and onward commitments. Send the transport details before confirming; delays can reduce available sightseeing time.
Is a West Bank visit part of this tour?
No. This programme focuses on Karnak and Luxor Temple on the East Bank. A separate or revised itinerary is needed for royal tombs.
Where will we be picked up?
Your hotel or an agreed meeting point. Your exact meeting details are agreed before travel.
How is my booking confirmed?
Send an enquiry first. We review availability and provide a written quotation with the itinerary, services, price and booking conditions. Sending the form does not reserve a service.
