Private Luxor Tours

Explore the East and West Banks of Luxor with your own private driver and vehicle

Discover the World's Greatest Open-Air Museum

Luxor is home to roughly a third of the world's ancient monuments — from the soaring columns of Karnak Temple to the hidden tombs of the Valley of the Kings. With a private vehicle and driver, you can explore both the East Bank and West Bank at your own pace, avoiding the crowds, the midday heat and the hassle of group tours. Below are some of the most popular sites Tito can include in your itinerary.

Places Tito Can Take You

Every tour is fully private and tailored to your interests, fitness level and the time you have available.

Karnak Temple, Luxor - private tour with driver Tito

Karnak Temple

The largest religious complex ever built, Karnak Temple is a vast open-air museum of towering columns, obelisks and sacred lakes dedicated to the god Amun. Walk through the famous Hypostyle Hall with its 134 massive papyrus-shaped columns and the newly restored Avenue of Sphinxes connecting Karnak to Luxor Temple. Best visited early morning before the heat and crowds arrive.

Luxor Temple area on the East Bank of the Nile

Luxor Temple

Located right in the heart of Luxor city on the East Bank of the Nile, Luxor Temple is especially magical in the late afternoon and evening when it's beautifully illuminated. Originally built for the rejuvenation of kingship, it features colossal statues of Ramses II, an elegant colonnade and a unique mosque built within the ancient walls — a fascinating blend of history and living culture.

Inside a tomb in the Valley of the Kings, West Bank Luxor

Valley of the Kings

On the West Bank, hidden in the desert hills, the Valley of the Kings holds the tombs of pharaohs including Tutankhamun, Ramses the Great and Seti I. Descend into beautifully decorated burial chambers covered in vivid hieroglyphics and ceiling paintings that have survived for over 3,000 years. Tito can advise which tombs are open and worth the extra ticket on the day of your visit.

Desert road to the Temple of Hatshepsut, West Bank Luxor

Temple of Hatshepsut

Built into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari, the mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut is one of Egypt's most striking structures — a series of grand terraces connected by long ramps, set dramatically against the mountain backdrop. As Egypt's most famous female pharaoh, Hatshepsut's temple tells a remarkable story of ambition, trade expeditions and architectural innovation.

Colossi of Memnon statues, West Bank Luxor

Colossi of Memnon

These two massive stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III have stood guard over the West Bank for over 3,400 years, originally marking the entrance to his now-vanished mortuary temple. A quick but unmissable photo stop on the way to or from the Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut Temple, included free in every West Bank itinerary.

Hot air balloons over Luxor at sunrise

Nile Felucca & Hot Air Balloon

For a different perspective on Luxor, Tito can arrange a relaxing felucca sailboat ride on the Nile at sunset, or an early morning hot air balloon flight drifting silently over the temples and farmland of the West Bank — one of the most unforgettable experiences in all of Egypt.
