Absolutely amazing. We didn't arrange a guide beforehand and were offered one at the entrance. We got more than just a guide. We got Mahmoud, who was not only knowledgable (as most are), but his sweet temperament, his love and enthusiasm for his culture and heritage, and his sheer joy in sharing information with us made this our best Luxor experience. Do it. Ask for Mahmoud :)

We visited the The Temple Of Karnak on our day trip from Hurghada. An amazing & unforgettable visit. The site is stunning & immaculate, our Tour Guide expertly explained & guided us as we discovered the Temples beauty & architecture. Highlight of our visit & day out in Luxor was meeting an Egyptian Primary Girls School class & their teachers - at their request great photos & selfies with all the school girls.

Being there in awe of these huge ancient columns was amazing.. loads of tourists around ... fascinated by how much of this site has been preserved but at the same time a lot has been ruined in the times.. great walkabout and an amazing experience.... had an english speaking guide called Shareef.. so much knowledge and information... thank you

Visited Luxor today, including the karnak temple, hatshepsut temple, Valley of the Kings, memnon statues and a Felucca Nil crossing!..everything organized by our guide Abdul. We recommend Abdul warmly, he is very nice guy and has a lot of Knowledge of egyptian history. His before and After photo map is fantastische! We enjoyed this day and say thank you Abdul…God bless and best regards..franciska and Ivan….

The other end of the avenue of Sphinxes from the Luxor temple. Well kept. Intact. Shows a lot of history of the various kings that ruled throughout the time. Each king had to add something special to the temple. And sometimes destroy something made by the predecessor. Enjoy and take your time.

This is the largest ancient temple in Egypt. the Massive pillars and expansive grounds, statues, artwork etc., make this the must see temple in Luxor (and Egypt). You will want a guide to explain the significance of the most important elements.

The Temple of Karnak is an amazing place with very impressive buildings and history. Our guide Nana spoke very heartily about the Egyptian kings and queens through the ages. It is a special feeling to go and look at places where Egyptian kings themselves have been thousands of years ago, and imagine what the buildings looked like when they were complete. The giant columns with inscriptions, the high walls, the impressive sphinxes on both sides. The combination of greatness and small details is just astonishing and it is difficult to imagine the amount of work put into this. It is mind blowing. Our fantastic guide Nana told passionately about dramatic history in ancient royal families and this impressive structure. This temple is a must see. Take your time there and bring water.

We had the perfect weather to spend lots of time at Karnak Temple. Plan to spend about 1.5-2 hours here to see everything. Having a guide is helpful to explain what is what because there are no audio guides or signs available. We had a guide with us but there are a few people inside the ticket gate that will offer their service as well. Luxor is reasonably walkable so you could get here by foot along the Corniche but expect to get lots of taxi/carriage ride offers. You may want to do Luxor Temple first because this one is that much more impressive. Bring plenty of water in case you want to spend more time here. The ticket office is in a small office to the left of the main entrance. The cost of entry is 220 Egyptian Pounds and it may be worthwhile to bring cash here because it took about 5 minutes to process my credit card. There will be a man outside the toilet expecting a tip for use or toilet paper and they will take coins or small bills. Bring your own tissues if you want to make sure they're clean.

This is one of the most impressive temples in Luxor and Egypt. The avenue of ram-headed sphinxes at the start sets the scene. The large Great Hypostyle Hall is impressive with its many richly carved columns. The obelisks are grand too. We came back in the evening to attend the light and sound show and whilst this was initially very good, by the time we sat in the bleachers at the far end of the Sacred Lake, it felt as if they were trying to fill in for time and there wasn't much relevant content to what they were discussing.

It was our favourite temple. Everything was on a large scale - the Great Hypostyle Hall wad impressive with its many richly carved columns as well as the Obelisks and the avenue of ram-headed sphinxes. Definitely worth a visit. In spite of being crowded you could still find a quite corners to enjoy its beauty.
