Valley of the Kings
The Valley of the Kings (Coptic: ⲛⲁⲣⲉⲙⲉ, romanized: naremē), also known as the Valley of the Gates of the Kings (Arabic: وادي الملوك‎ Wādī al-Mulūk), is a valley in Egypt where, for a period of nearly 500 years from the 16th to the 11th century BC, rock-cut tombs were excavated for the pharaohs and powerful nobles of the New Kingdom (the Eighteenth to the Twentieth Dynasties of Ancient Egypt).
· 1 h· Admission included
3
Temple of Hatshepsut
The Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, also known as the Djeser-Djeseru (Ancient Egyptian: ḏsr ḏsrw "Holy of Holies"), is a mortuary temple of Ancient Egypt located in Upper Egypt. Built for the Eighteenth Dynasty pharaoh Hatshepsut, who died in 1458 BC, the temple is located beneath the cliffs at Deir el-Bahari on the west bank of the Nile near the Valley of the Kings. This mortuary temple is dedicated to Amun and Hatshepsut and is situated next to the mortuary temple of Mentuhotep II, which served both as an inspiration and, later, a quarry. It is considered one of the "incomparable monuments of ancient Egypt."
· 1 h· Admission included
4
The Colossi of Memnon (Arabic: el-Colossat or es-Salamat) are two massive stone statues of the Pharaoh Amenhotep III, who reigned in Egypt during the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt. Since 1350 BCE, they have stood in the Theban Necropolis, located west of the River Nile from the modern city of Luxor.
· 1 h· Admission included
5
Luxor Temple
The Luxor Temple (Arabic: معبد الأقصر‎) is a large Ancient Egyptian temple complex located on the east bank of the Nile River in the city today known as Luxor (ancient Thebes) and was constructed approximately 1400 BCE. In the Egyptian language it is known as ipet resyt, "the southern sanctuary". In Luxor, there are several great temples on the east and west banks. Four of the major mortuary temples visited by early travelers include the Temple of Seti I at Gurnah, the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahri, the Temple of Ramesses II (i.e., Ramesseum), and the Temple of Ramesses III at Medinet Habu. The two primary cults' temples on the east bank are known as the Karnak and Luxor. Unlike the other temples in Thebes, Luxor Temple is not dedicated to a cult god or a deified version of the pharaoh in death. Instead, Luxor Temple is dedicated to the rejuvenation of kingship; it may have been where many of the pharaohs of Egypt were crowned in reality or conceptually.

The Karnak Temple
The Karnak Temple Complex, commonly known as Karnak (/ˈkɑːr.næk/,[1] from Arabic Khurnak meaning "fortified village"), comprises a vast mix of decayed temples, chapels, pylons, and other buildings near Luxor, in Egypt. Construction at the complex began during the reign of Senusret I in the Middle Kingdom (around 2000–1700 BC) and continued into the Ptolemaic period (305–30 BC), although most of the extant buildings date from the New Kingdom. The area around Karnak was the ancient Egyptian Ipet-isut ("The Most Selected of Places") and the main place of worship of the Eighteenth Dynasty Theban Triad with the god Amun as its head. It is part of the monumental city of Thebes. The Karnak complex gives its name to the nearby, and partly surrounded, modern village of El-Karnak, 2.5 kilometers (1.6 miles) north of Luxor.

Great day in Luxor
shawns2993, May 2026
A very enjoyable trip. Both guide, and driver were very professional. I was allowed to visit the sites at my pace. I appreciated the knowledgeable answers to my questions. Everything was very seamless. I would recommend.
★★★★★Tripadvisor review
Could have been a great day!
Mara J, May 2026
★★★★☆ I had a good overall experience with Emo Tours, but there are several reasons I can’t give them 5 stars. The employees I interacted with were polite, prompt, and professional, but the company itself seemed disorganized. I booked my trip in October 2025, and my tour was in May, so there was more than enough time to properly plan and purchase the correct flight tickets. I had to reach out to the company the day before my tour to request my tickets and itinerary, and I did not receive the documentation until around 9 PM the evening before the trip. Since this day trip includes a flight and the tour is non-refundable, there is really no reason flights should be booked or finalized at the last moment. They also asked for my passport information several times, even though I had already submitted it. That felt like poor planning on their part. Another issue was that they advertised a business class flight, but my flight was economy. Again, because I booked months in advance, there was sufficient time for them to purchase the correct class of tickets. Luxor itself was very interesting and absolutely worth making the trip. The tour itself was private, so it was just my sisters and me, which we enjoyed. Our tour guide, Sam, met us in Luxor and was very knowledgeable. He explained a lot of important information before giving us time to explore on our own. He also offered to take photos of us, which was a nice touch. Sam had all of our tickets purchased in advance, so we were not waiting in lines, and that made the day run smoothly. The only thing I wish is that tour guides could accompany guests into the tombs so the experience could feel a bit more interactive. Lunch was not good. The food was lukewarm, which made it inedible. However, the restaurant was clean, and the staff were nice. It was really more of a place to rehydrate than anything else. After being out in the heat, I wasn’t very hungry anyway, but the meal itself could definitely be improved. Since my return flight from Luxor wasn’t leaving until 9 PM and the tour ended around 3 PM, they booked a complimentary hotel for us. I appreciated the gesture, but the room was extremely worn down. The bed covers had stains, all of the faucets were old, and honestly, the room looked like something out of a horror movie. I would have preferred to go straight to the airport instead. That said, the hosts at the hotel were hospitable, and they had a lovely rooftop restaurant overlooking the river, which was very pretty. When our driver came to pick us up, he wanted to make sure we had a pleasant stay. We assured him we were okay, and I appreciated his concern. I’m honestly saddened that I can’t review the company and the workers separately because the staff really did a great job. My morning greeter met me right on time, and when we returned to Cairo, our greeter was waiting for us, which was nice after such a long day. Our driver was also fantastic. Overall, the people made the experience enjoyable, and Luxor is definitely worth visiting. However, the company needs to improve its organization, communication, accommodations, meal quality, and make sure what is advertised matches what customers actually receive.

Great!
Ernst_P, February 2026
Flew to Luxor from Cairo for an all day tour. Our guide, Ahmed Omar, and the driver Hossan did a great job. Ahmed was friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!
★★★★★Viator review
Too rushed but maybe due to guide
Ariel_V, February 2026
Well organized and great. The four stars are due to Zachariah, the tour guide in Luxor. He rushed us so much and wasn’t letting us take pictures. We concluded later that it’s because he wanted to take us to souvenir stores, likely to get a commission on anything we buy, but it was unfortunate because he prioritized this over letting us enjoy and take pictures at the awesome locations in the tour. We felts super rushed everywhere besides at the stores he took us to.
