Luxor Temple becomes especially atmospheric after sunset, when warm lighting reveals its colossal statues, pylons, obelisk, courtyards, and graceful colonnades. Begin your private Luxor evening tour with hotel or Nile cruise pickup and a guided visit inside this New Kingdom sanctuary on the East Bank. After exploring the temple with a licensed guide, board a private horse-drawn carriage for a relaxed journey along selected streets, the Nile Corniche, local neighborhoods, and the market area. Complete the evening with an included glass of fresh Egyptian sugarcane juice before returning comfortably to your accommodation.
