Overview

On this East Bank private tour of Luxor you will combine visits to ancient temples with an authentic Egyptian cooking class. You will explore the vast Karnak Temple Complex, walking among towering columns and colossal statues while your private Egyptologist explains the stories of ancient Egypt. As you move through the site, you will learn about the beliefs and people who shaped these monumental spaces. Next you will visit Luxor Temple in the heart of the city, admired for its grand statues and impressive architecture. Along the way you will soak up the atmosphere of central Luxor and then head to a colourful market to choose fresh vegetables and traditional spices. From there you will go to a peaceful hidden farm near the temple grounds for a hands-on Egyptian cooking class, where you will prepare authentic local dishes. The experience ends with a relaxed meal under the palm trees, where you can enjoy the food you helped create in a private setting. Throughout the day you will combine cultural insight with practical cooking skills, and move between famous ancient sites and everyday local life.
