Tour description
Luxor stands on the site of ancient Thebes, the glorious capital of the pharaohs, and boasts the highest concentration of ancient monuments on Earth—from the majestic temples of Luxor and Karnak to the royal tombs across the Nile. Often called the world's largest open-air museum, it offers unforgettable experiences. On this walking tour, a local guide will unveil these wonders to you.
You will stand before the grand Luxor Temple, stroll along the Avenue of Sphinxes, and hear stories of pharaohs, gods, and ancient Thebes. Along the way, you will enjoy views of the Nile River looking toward the Valley of the Kings. Ancient and awe-inspiring, Luxor is a wonderful city to explore on foot.
