The Sites of Luxor
Luxor contains some of the most significant ancient, medieval, and historic sites on earth. Here is what you will find — and what we can show you.
The Valley of the Kings
The ancient burial ground of Egypt's New Kingdom rulers. Explore royal tombs with magnificent, colorful wall paintings preserved for millennia. We arrange private entry to premium tombs including Tutankhamun and Seti I.
Karnak Temple Complex
The largest religious complex ever constructed. Walk between the colossal columns of the Hypostyle Hall at dawn, before the gates officially open to the public, with an elite Egyptologist.
Luxor Temple After Hours
Walk through the grand court and obelisks in complete solitude after closing. Witness the temple illuminated against the night sky, a privilege arranged through our direct permits.

Standing in Karnak Temple at sunrise without a single other soul was beyond words. An absolute masterpiece of planning by Eye on Egypt.
The Destination in Photos
Your Egypt Journey Doesn't Have to End Here
Luxor pairs naturally with every other destination we cover. Most of our guests combine two or more destinations in a single journey.
Cairo & Giza
The most iconic ancient site on earth — and still, when experienced before dawn with no one else present, one of the most overwhelming.
Aswan
The most beautiful city in Egypt — Philae at sunrise, Abu Simbel by private flight, and the Nile at golden hour from the deck of a private felucca.
Abydos
The finest painted reliefs in the ancient world, colours so vivid they look applied last century. Our guests consistently call it the unexpected highlight of their entire journey.
