Magic of Luxor
Itinerary

Please note this is a sample only, individual experiences may vary slightly.

This itinerary acts as a guide to give you an overview of what your tour will be like.

Day 1 - Welcome to Egypt!

​

You made it to the home of the pyramids and the land of the Pharaohs!

A transfer will be waiting for you at Luxor Airport to take you to your accommodation.

The transfer time is around forty minutes. 

The first day is very laid back. Take your time to settle in, relax with a drink, and take in the surroundings.

Meet the staff  and then go out for a delicious dinner of Egyptian food at one of the local restaurants in Luxor.

Day 2 - Banana Island, Luxor Museum + Luxor Temple

​

Now the adventure really starts!

Meet the horses after breakfast, and saddle up to begin a scenic ride through lush farmland around the Nile River. Ride past farmers working the fields with traditional tools, donkeys pulling carts of wheat and clover, and water buffalo cooling off in the Nile. Soon you will also approach quaint village streets where you can get a glimpse of daily life in rural Egypt.

Just outside town, you will pass sprawling archaeological sites and stop to marvel at the impressive Colossi of Memnon, two towering pharaonic statues set dramatically against the backdrop of the Theban Mountains.

At the outskirts of the desert, we have the opportunity for exhilarating gallops and race each other across the sand. We then make our way to Banana Island, riding between leafy banana plants to our lunch stop.

Enjoy freshly baked feteer, a delicious pastry-like bread served with feta cheese, molasses, and tahini along with fresh fruit juice. On the way back to the stable, we ride in parallel with the boats drifting along the Nile River.

During the afternoon ride, prepare for an afternoon of amazing sightseeing! Your first stop is Luxor Museum, home to incredibly well-preserved mummies, sarcophagi, and other ancient relics. Then stroll along the famous Avenue of Sphinxes and through the historic walls of Luxor Temple.

After sundown, visit the bustling market filled with spices, colourful Egyptian clothing, and beautiful arrays of jewellery and trinkets. Back on the quiet west bank, we finish the day with a multi-course dinner at one of our favourite local restaurants.
