Description
Full-Day Trip from Hurghada to Luxor
The trip starts early in the morning with pickup from the hotel in Hurghada by a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. Guests then travel through the desert road toward Luxor. During the journey, there is a short rest stop of approximately 30 minutes, where guests can use the bathroom or have a light drink before continuing the drive to Luxor.
Upon arrival in Luxor, the tour guide will be waiting for the guests according to the language selected during booking. The tour begins with a visit to Karnak Temple, one of the largest and most important temple complexes in ancient Egypt. Guests will enjoy a guided explanation of the temple’s history, its massive columns, sacred halls, and impressive ancient architecture.
After visiting Karnak Temple, guests continue to the West Bank of Luxor. There are two options for crossing: guests may either continue by bus, or choose to cross by boat for an additional optional fee. If the boat option is selected, guests can enjoy a pleasant Nile boat trip for approximately 30 minutes.
After that, guests head to a local restaurant for lunch, then continue the tour toward the Valley of the Kings. On the way, there is a stop at the Colossi of Memnon for approximately 15 minutes, giving guests time to take photos and learn some historical information about the site.
At the Valley of the Kings, the package includes entrance to 3 tombs from the tombs open for visits. Guests also have the option, depending on their preference or pre-booked selection, to enter Tutankhamun’s Tomb or the Tomb of Ramses V and VI for an additional optional fee.
After finishing the visit to the Valley of the Kings, the tour continues toward the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut. On the way, there is a rest stop of approximately 30 minutes at an alabaster or stone handicraft workshop, where guests are welcomed with a cold local drink.
