Luxor Temple, Luxor, Egypt Pharaoh Amenhotep III, one of the great builders of ancient Egypt, was responsible for starting the construction of the Luxor temple during the New Kingdom (1390-1352 BC) following by Tutankhamun (1336-27 BC), then Horemheb (1323-1295 BC) and then finished by Rameses II (1279-13 BC).

The tour is a lot to pack in one day, but it definitely the tour to book to get all the sites in! Our guide was Amr. He was very nice and excited to show us Egypt. He was very knowledgeable and happy to answer all our questions. The tour of the temples, valley of the kings etc... were great. Lunch was amazing!! The Nile river was nice to see but dirty.. the
Some cons:
We were rushed through most sites
Did not have time for souvenirs shopping or pics
Our flight got delayed without notice and we’re stuck at airport for three hours
*****I would opt out of camel ride portion. The camels are young and really scared of cars and buses. We were almost bucked off. The trail used was full of trash, and through local towns, felt like we were being stared at and made fun of..the temples were fantastic.

My husband & I spent a whole day being guided through Luxor by our incredible tour guide Lalia. She picked us up at the Luxor airport (look for the purple hat!) & we quickly began our day. [Note go outside baggage claim to meet her!]
First up - Hatshepsut's Temple. Per Lalia's suggestion we started the day there to beat the crowds and she was so right. When we got there it was deserted, allowing for an intimate experience to take in the impressive site (and grab some stellar photos).
Afterwards we stopped at an alabaster/ceramics shop where we got to see the process used in carving and making vases, statues, etc as well as buy some souvenirs that we knew were legit. The proprietors were so sweet.
Next we went to the The Valley of the Kings. Lalia took time before we took the lil' train to the site to go over what we were about to see and what specifics to look for as we would explore on our own. She had photos to reference. This was extremely valuable as it made the time inside the tombs effortless as we knew what we were looking at. While we waited for the lil' train/tam carts so many people seemed to know Lalia, and no surprise! She works a lot and has an amazing reputation.
Afterwards The Vally of the Kings we stopped at Colossi of Memnon for a quick photo & look see.
Next, Lalia suggested with the time of day & current traffic we could take a boat ride across the Nile to get to our lunch spot VS driving & sitting in the van. This was so pleasant & relaxing after the morning of (fun but tiring) trekking around. Lunch was at local cafe called SNACK TIME - grilled chicken, rice, hummus (good / local food). Free/ok wifi.
After Lunch we headed to Karnak Temple (which was my favorite of the day) and then finally Luxor Temple.
Lalia was filled with information and stories for every landmark. We can't recommend both the trip & her enough! She was so much fun & very easy to be around. We felt safe & cared for in her company. She made the most use of our time and wanted to make sure we got to take everything in. You can tell she loves Luxor and her job. She set the bar high for our other tour guides. If we ever get the chance to go back to Egypt we plan to spend more time in Luxor because of our time with Lalia.
