The Luxor Full-Day Tour from Aswan begins with an early-morning pickup at your Aswan hotel or cruise, followed by the more scenic Nile Valley drive. Upon arriving at Luxor, your private Egyptologist guide shows you the grand Karnak Temple- the biggest religious complex in ancient Egypt. From there, one walks through the Hypostyle Hall with its forest of towering columns, looking out over the sacred lake with intricately carved hieroglyphics conveying decades of religious dedication and architectural successes.
After the Karnak visit, continue on to the intriguing Mummification Museum, an intimate little museum that dives deep into the mummification practices of ancient Egypt, laying bare, through well-preserved artifacts and tools, the actual mummies themselves, both human and animal, understanding of the spiritual beliefs and rituals surrounding death and the afterlife.
Your last stop will be the renowned Luxor Museum, which houses a beautifully curated collection of artifacts from the Theban temples and tombs. Some highlights include statues from the cachette of Luxor Temple, exquisite jewelry, and well-preserved objects from the New Kingdom. After the museum visit, lunch is served in a local restaurant before departing for the return journey to Aswan. With insightful commentary along the way and transport that ensures comfort, the full-day tour provides a rich and immersive experience of the cultural and historical legacy of Luxor.
