This 2-day overnight tour flies travelers from Cairo to Luxor for a compact but complete look at the city's East and West Bank monuments, including a felucca sail on the Nile.

After an airport transfer and flight to Luxor, the first day covers East Bank sites such as Karnak Temple's Hypostyle Hall and Luxor Temple's ritual spaces, along with time to browse local artisan shops.

Following an overnight hotel stay, the second day crosses to the West Bank, starting with the Colossi of Memnon before entering the Valley of the Kings to view richly decorated pharaonic tombs, and continuing to Hatshepsut's cliffside temple at Deir el-Bahari, with a relaxed felucca sail to Banana Island included before the flight back to Cairo.

The package includes hotel accommodation in Luxor at a 4-star property, the domestic flights between Cairo and Luxor, one breakfast and two lunches, pickup from and return to the traveler's hotel, shopping time in Luxor's bazaars, the felucca boat ride to Banana Island, a professional English-speaking Egyptologist guide, bottled water, and assistance from Travel Joy Egypt's staff throughout, with entrance fees to the main sites and all service charges and taxes included; tipping, optional activities, and personal expenses are not included.

This overnight format suits Cairo-based travelers who want to see Luxor's full East and West Bank circuit, plus a relaxing Nile sail, without rushing it into a single day.

Day 1: Flying to Luxor and Exploring the Treasures

Our Cairo representative will pick you up from your hotel to transfer you to the airport, where you'll board your flight to Luxor. Here, your personal Egyptologist guide will welcome you and accompany you for the day's tours. First up is the awe-inspiring Karnak Temple complex - the largest place of worship ever built. Meaning "most sacred of places", this incredible site was constructed over 2000 years. Wander through the mammoth Hypostyle Hall filled with towering stone pillars. A delicious lunch will be provided at a quality local restaurant. Then it's on to the magnificent Luxor Temple. Dedicated to Amun, this sacred site was built by Pharaohs Amenhotep III and Ramesses II for rituals. Browse Luxor's shops before checking into your hotel for relaxation. Meals: Lunch

Day 2: More Wonders of Luxor Before Returning to Cairo

Rise early for a nourishing breakfast. Up next is the West Bank including the Colossi of Memnon, two massive stone figures guarding the entrance. In the Valley of the Kings, view 3 richly decorated tombs holding pharaonic treasures for the afterlife. Queen Hatshepsut also had her temple built here at El Deir El Bahary, blending into the surrounding cliffs. Lunch comes at a local eatery. Then board a Felucca boat to tranquil Banana Island on the Nile before flying back to Cairo. Our representative will chauffeur you by air-conditioned van to your hotel, ready for the next stage of your journey. Meals: Breakfast Lunch
