A spectacular place with a great guide. - The place is amazing and if you are planning your trip to Egypt, you shouldn’t miss the opportunity to visit Luxor and its temples. Barry was a great guide. It is noticiable that he knows a lot about the history of his city, he has studied a lot about it and the hieroglyphics and he likes to explain it. He is very good at communicating and his English is perfect, so you can understand him really well. Besides, I was on a solo trip and he offered to take pictures of me all the time for my memories. It was an incredible experience with a very good person. If you are still thinking about it, don't hesitate

100% recommend. Elite Trip are absolute professionals who delivered a flawless, unforgettable travel experience. - Outstanding experience, starting well before the tour itself. Ayman was very communicative and helpful with some special requests I made in advance of the tour.
He was cheerful and creative in accommodating my needs, going above and beyond with a smile. My tour guide Adel was perfect: patient, funny, so knowledgeable, and with tons of facts and anecdotes that made the temples come to life. The driver was great, too, extending his time with me in order to get me safely to the airport. I can't say enough about how the whole team delivered a truly tailored experience that was a perfect fit for me.

Trip to Karnak temples - Today’s trip to the East Bank of Luxor was absolutely amazing. We spent two hours at Karnak Temple, and honestly, it felt like time just stopped, it was like walking through a dream. The temple’s size and beauty were mind-blowing, and the carvings told such vivid stories of the past. One of the coolest parts was the giant scarab statue by the Sacred Lake. The craftsmanship was unreal, and it’s just crazy to think how they created something so detailed back then.
At Luxor Temple, I was totally blown away by the depiction of the god Amun. It’s so impressive, and you can’t help but feel in awe. And then there’s Pharaoh Ramses II, his presence is everywhere in these massive monuments that leave you wondering how on earth they built them.
Visiting Karnak and Luxor Temples isn’t just about ticking off tourist spots. It’s like stepping into history and feeling connected to an incredible civilization. It’s definitely something I’ll never forget!

Luxor Temple - Today’s tours on the East Bank of Luxor were so amazing. We spent two hours at Karnak Temple, and it felt like the time just disappeared, it was like being in a dream. The place is absolutely stunning, with its massive size and all the detailed carvings that tell these incredible stories from the past. One of my favorite spots was the giant scarab statue by the Sacred Lake. The artistry and craftsmanship were just unreal.
At Luxor Temple, the depiction of the god Amun really blew me away. And then there’s Pharaoh Ramses II, his presence is everywhere, in these huge monuments that make you wonder how they even built them back then.
Visiting Karnak and Luxor Temples isn’t just about seeing some cool sights, it’s about stepping into history. If you’re ever in Luxor, don’t miss it, it’s so worth it

Stepping Back in Time at Luxor Temple - Visiting Luxor Temple is something else it’s hard to even describe how amazing it is. It was built way back in the 13th century BC during Pharaoh Amenhotep III’s time, and over the years, other rulers like Ramses II added their own touches. Even Alexander the Great left his mark inside the Inner Sanctum, which is pretty cool.
The temple was dedicated to the god Amun and was used for all kinds of important religious ceremonies. The grand hall is definitely a highlight. Those massive columns, standing around 60 feet tall, are just mind-blowing. Being there, surrounded by so much history and beauty, is an experience you’ll never forget.

Luxor Temple: A Magical Journey Through Ancient Egypt - Exploring Luxor Temple is nothing short of magical, and it’s an experience you’ll never forget. This incredible place was built way back during the reign of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, around the 13th century BC. Over time, it just got more impressive, with pharaohs like Ramses II adding their own touches. Even Alexander the Great couldn’t resist leaving his mark, adding to the sacred Inner Sanctum.
The temple is dedicated to Amun, one of the most powerful gods, and it was built to host some of the most important religious ceremonies of the time. One of the coolest spots is the massive hall with gigantic columns. These things are 60 feet tall and seem to stretch endlessly into the sky. Standing there, surrounded by all that ancient grandeur, you can’t help but feel awestruck. It’s like stepping back in time and soaking up the magic of ancient Egypt
