Phenomenal! These guys are absolute professionals. 100% recommend. - 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 followed through on delivering 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

Unforgettable Journey Through Ancient Luxor!!! - We had the most amazing day in Luxor thanks to Mr. Ibrahim from Elite Trip. The tour took us to some unforgettable places like Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, and even the Luxor Museum. These spots have always been on my list and seeing them in person was something else entirely.
Mr. Ibrahim really knows his stuff! At Karnak Temple, he gave us such an engaging explanation about the incredible history behind the pylon of Ramses II. The carvings telling the story of the Battle of Kadesh were just mind-blowing. It felt like stepping straight into ancient history. Ramses II truly came across as a larger-than-life figure, almost like the first emperor of history.
What made this trip even more special was how fun and relaxed it was. Mr. Ibrahim’s passion for Egyptian history and his ability to explain it in a way that felt casual and easy to follow really stood out. If you’re heading to Luxor, don’t miss the chance to book a tour with him. It’s worth every second..

Epic Day Exploring Ancient Luxor! - Had an awesome day with Mr. Ibrahim from Elite Trip! We hit up some amazing spots like the Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, and the Luxor Museum places I've always dreamed of visiting. Mr. Ibrahim, who's an Egyptology pro, blew our minds with his explanation of the Karnak Temple. We spent ages in front of the pylon of Ramses II, diving into the story of the epic Battle of Kadesh. The carvings on the walls were next-level so detailed and full of drama. Ramses II? Total legend, probably the first-ever emperor in human history. Huge thanks to Mr. Ibrahim for all the cool facts. Highly recommend this tour! 🙌
