Luxor

Luxor: The City of a Hundred Gates Known in ancient times as Thebes, Luxor holds an unparalleled concentration of ancient monuments. The city is split by the Nile into two distinct worlds: the East Bank, home to the monumental Karnak Temple Complex—the largest religious site ever built—and the majestic Luxor Temple, which glows beautifully at night. Crossing to the West Bank, you enter the realm of the afterlife. Here, you can explore the legendary Valley of the Kings, where the tomb of Tutankhamun was discovered, the breathtaking Temple of Hatshepsut, and the towering Colossi of Memnon. For a truly unforgettable experience, take a sunrise Hot Air Balloon ride over the valley or sail the Nile on a private Dahabiya. At Etro Tours, we offer expert-led tours that bring the stories of the Pharaohs back to life.
