Itinerary

Tour Program

Journey to Luxor
Start your day with a scenic drive from Hurghada through the beautiful mountain landscape on the way to Luxor. Whether you choose a group tour by bus or van, or a private excursion, you’ll enjoy comfortable, air-conditioned transport as you head to the historic city of Thebes (Luxor).

Karnak Temple
Your first stop is the magnificent Karnak Temple, located on the East Bank of the Nile. This world-famous complex is the largest religious building ever constructed and features the remarkable Hypostyle Hall and the Holy Lake. Walk along the reconstructed sphinx avenue and marvel at the grandeur of ancient Egyptian architecture.

Colossi of Memnon
After crossing the Nile to the West Bank, make a photo stop at the colossal statues of Amenhotep III, known as the Colossi of Memnon. These massive 18-meter-tall statues stand as remnants of a once grand temple and offer a glimpse into the scale of ancient Egyptian monuments.

Valley of the Kings or Valley of the Queens
Continue your journey to the Valley of the Kings or, alternatively, the Valley of the Queens. In the Valley of the Kings, explore three beautifully preserved tombs filled with vibrant wall art and carvings that narrate the lives of ancient Egyptian kings.

If you opt for the Valley of the Queens, discover a less crowded yet equally fascinating necropolis. It includes tombs of queens, princes, and royal family members, with the renowned Tomb of Nefertari as its crown jewel.

Hatshepsut Temple
End your Luxor adventure at the majestic Hatshepsut Temple. Its unique terrace design and location against a dramatic cliff make it one of Luxor’s most stunning sites. Walk through the restored sections, admire intricate wall carvings, and enjoy sweeping views of the Nile Valley.

Return to Hurghada
As your day comes to an end, relax on the journey back to Hurghada, reflecting on the awe-inspiring history and beauty you’ve witnessed during this unforgettable day trip.
