The temple is primarily dedicated to the worship of the supreme god Amun-Ra.
- Colossi of Memnon - The tour will also visit the colossal statues known as the Colossi of Memnon, which depict King Amenhotep III seated, accompanied by his mother and wife.
- Luxor Temple - Luxor Temple is believed to have hosted one of the ancient Egyptian festivals, as evidenced by the scenes on its walls depicting the festival (Ipt Rset). The inner part was constructed by King Amenhotep III, while the outer part was built by King Ramses II. Upon entering, visitors will find a mosque called Abu Al-Haggag, built on the ruins of a church within the temple. At the rear, there are chapels constructed by King Amenhotep III and Alexander the Great.
- Temple of Karnak - The tour includes a visit to the expansive Karnak Temple Complex, which is a vast collection of temples, chapels, pylons, obelisks, and other structures. Construction began during the reign of Senusret I in the Middle Kingdom and continued into the Ptolemaic Period. It is a vast open-air museum and the second-largest ancient religious site in the world, primarily dedicated to the worship of the Theban triad (Gods Amun, his consort Mut, and their son Khonsu).

10/10! 🤩👌 - Our trip to Egypt was amazing. The temples were incredible, and our guide, Rah, made the history come to life with engaging stories and insights. We learned so much while having a lot of fun along the way. Highly recommend this experience!

Solo travel from Japan! - I made the reservation through the GYG app.
I was a solo traveller so I was a bit worried, but it was a private tour and I was able to customize it to my liking!
The guide spoke easy-to-understand English, so I was able to learn a lot about Egyptian history!
The Nile felucca cruise was really nice. I recommend it if you go to Luxor.
During the trip, we stopped at a few stores, but I probably didn't need to shop there. That's all I regret.
To be honest, it was tourist prices lol
But don't worry, it's okay if you refuse!
At the end, they bought me some delicious juice! It was the best in hot Egypt!

Pleasant and full of knowledge tour - Ra is the best tour guide we found in Egypt! Don’t waste time trying to find a guide in the last minute at the entrance of the archeological sites, we did it and tour guides most of the time don’t know much. Ra is knowledgeable and answered all of our questions and gave us lots of insightful advices. He’s great!!!! We learned so much about West side attractions in just one day. We’d book him again if we come back to Egypt, he has our trust.

Excellent guide tour, amazing!!! - Excellent! They offered to pick us up at the airport to make better use of the day and time. Ali was our guide and his service was very personalized, he surprised us for good because we did not expect that. She was aware of us and what we needed to make us comfortable at all times. He knows the whole story very well and tells it with a lot of passion, it is impossible to get bored with him. He is very prudent and respects personal space and does not ask for a tip unlike most places.

Amazing guide, great with kids - We did a 2-day Luxor tour with Ra with our 2 x kids (aged 6 and 9). Looking at lots of temples and tombs can get boring very quickly for our kids - but Ra did an amazing job of engaging with them and involving them.
We then went back to Ra’s house for dinner on the first day and met his wonderful family. We had a magical evening! I mentioned to Ra that my son wanted to play football so he rented the local pitch for an hour and we all played there.
In short, Ra went above and beyond to make sure that all of us were enjoying the tour. I could not recommend him more highly!

Ra is one of the best tour guides I’ve ever hired in the world. - Ra is the person everyone needs to take a real and meaningful tour around Luxor. GREAT price, very polite, not a pushy person and a good friend.
He speaks English and some other languages. The prices of his services are very affordable; he doesn’t ever try to either scam you or get stubborn about money. You set the rules and he respects those by adaptations to your plans and itinerary. He gives advise about how to deal with annoying vendors and he gives provides advise on what to do and what to visit in Luxor in case you guys are lost in those terms. He also gets you affordable taxi services with his friends.
I highly recommend this guy for your stay in Luxor and he does Cairo, Aswan and other cities, but since he’s based in Luxor you need to let him know in advance about it.
