A full sightseeing day
The four visits involve considerable walking and several transfers. If you tire easily, request a reduced programme rather than trying to rush each monument.
Tomb conditions
Royal tombs can be warm, confined and reached by stairs or sloping passages. Let us know about mobility or breathing concerns so a realistic visit can be proposed.
Sun and clothing
Karnak, the temple terraces and much of the West Bank are exposed. Light protective clothing, a sunhat, comfortable shoes and water are useful throughout the day.
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 $85 per person for 2 guests. Solo travelers pay $136 for dedicated transport and guiding, while parties of 3–5 pay $70 per person, and 6+ guests pay $59 per person.
Is Tutankhamun’s tomb included?
Do not assume it is. Any separately ticketed tomb you want must be requested and named in the confirmed admission arrangements, subject to access.
Does this tour include Luxor Temple?
The published route includes Karnak, not Luxor Temple. Ask for a revised proposal if Luxor Temple is a priority; adding it affects the pace.
Can a West Bank hotel be the pickup point?
Provide the exact property and location. The planner will confirm the meeting point and adjust the order and transport arrangements accordingly.
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.
Keep exploring.
