You’ll also stop by the Colossi of Memnon, two giant statues that have watched over the West Bank for ages.

Luxor Excursions : Start with a Typical Egyptian Breakfast

Start with a Typical Egyptian Breakfast

Your guide meets you for a short boat ride across the Nile to the West Bank, where your bikes await. Kick off your adventure with a delicious Egyptian breakfast — fresh falafel sandwiches and mint tea served in a local café. It’s the perfect start to your Luxor day.

Cycle to the Valley of the Kings

Ride through peaceful farmlands where locals tend their crops, children play, and donkeys pull wooden carts. The scenery shifts from green fields to golden hills as you approach the Valley of the Kings — home to Egypt’s royal tombs. Explore three ancient tombs decorated with colorful scenes from the afterlife, and if you wish, enter the famous Tomb of Tutankhamun (extra ticket required).

Temple of Hatshepsut

Next, pedal toward the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, Egypt’s only female pharaoh. Built directly into the cliffs, this temple is one of the West Bank’s most impressive sights. Your guide will share stories of Hatshepsut’s power, her trade expeditions, and her bold legacy carved in stone.

Lunch Break: Authentic Egyptian Meal

Take a break and enjoy a home-cooked meal at a local family restaurant. Savor flavorful stews, grilled meats, and warm bread fresh from the oven. This cozy stop lets you experience real Egyptian hospitality.

Temple of Medinet Habu

After lunch, cycle to Medinet Habu Temple, built by Ramses III. Famous for its bright wall carvings that still glow with color after thousands of years, this massive complex was both a temple and fortress. As you explore, your guide will reveal stories of pharaohs, battles, and rituals that once filled these halls.

Colossi of Memnon & Return

End your tour with a stop at the Colossi of Memnon, two towering statues of Amenhotep III that have watched over Luxor’s West Bank for more than 3,000 years. Snap your final photos, then cycle back to the Nile for your relaxing boat ride and drive back to your hotel.
