Itinerary
From Hurghada To Luxor in one Day

Hotel pick up

The trip starts from your hotel at 4:5 AM (depending on the hotel’s location).  From the beginning of the day until the end, you don’t need any additional transportation. The van is modern and air-conditioned.

Van goes directly to Luxor and has an insurance convoy accompanying it throughout the round trip. It takes 4 hours to arrive. but don’t worry; it will stop in the middle of the road to take a rest.

Due to the small number of people traveling with you, you will receive great attention from your guide and it will feel like a private trip.

Karnak Temple (9:30-11:30am)

Your first stop will be Karnak Temple, which was considered the most important place of worship for the ancient Egyptians and is the most visited ancient religious site.

Karnak Temple was built by Ramses II and was initially called the Temple of Amun. It consists of 10 buildings and has 8 entrances. It will be the right time as the sun brightens the walls and statues, causing an unparalleled feeling where the past merges with the present.

Once you enter the temple, you will find a large board of the temples inside Karnak. You will know the moving plan and will visit every place in it. Your tour of the temple lasts for about two hours, during which you can learn all the historical details and enjoy the beauty of the Pharaonic design and execution. You will have enough time to take unique pictures that you will not be able to get anywhere else.

Local Lunch (12:00-01:00pm)

Now, you will go to a local Egyptian restaurant to try delicious Egyptian food and have an unparalleled Egyptian oriental lunch (Trip cost does not include drinks).

Our next stop will be on the other bank of the Nile, so we will prepare to board a Nile boat to move to the other bank (transfer only, not a long trip). The trip is available at additional costs.

After getting off the boat, the first to welcome you will be the two famous statues of Memnon.

Colossi of Memnon (01:30-02:00pm)

The Colossi of Memnon are all that remain of the temple commemorating Amenhotep III. A nice anecdote is mentioned about these statues. About 1,300 years after their creation, cracks and fissures occurred in them, which led to a sound being issued from the left statue every morning when the morning air passed and mixed with dew drops. It was said that it sings with sunrise every day.

It will take 10 to 20 minutes to learn about the two statues and their history and take some pictures of them and with them.

The Valley of the Kings (02:00-3:30)

Within a short distance, you will move to our next stop, the Valley of the Kings. It may be the most interesting stop in the tour. The Valley of the Kings is a burial ground for the pharaohs and nobles of ancient Egypt, as it contains about 63 Pharaonic tombs.

During the 18th Dynasty, and because of the kings' fear of their tombs being stolen, they thought of building hidden tombs for the kings in the Valley of the Kings area to preserve them. Indeed, these tombs remained hidden from the world until two centuries ago, and they became one of the largest exploration areas related to Egyptology.

If you do not believe in the curse of the Pharaohs, you will be able to enter 3 tombs and discover the ways of burying the dead in ancient Egypt. It will take about 60-90 minutes.

The Temple of Queen Hatshepsut (03:30-04:15)

Finally, we arrive at our last stop. Now you will be enchanted by the beauty of one of the most important temples in Egypt and the world, the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, where the grandeur, richness, and luxury of ancient Egyptian architecture and designs are evident. Queen Hatshepsut, daughter of King Thutmose I, ordered its construction during the 18th Dynasty. It took 15 years to build during her reign and is distinguished by a unique design that differs from other temples.

The Temple of Hatshepsut is one of the rarest artworks in the world. You will start climbing the long corridor to enter (it is recommended to wear comfortable shoes throughout the day) and you will enjoy the inscriptions that have preserved their luster and colors to this day. Also, the view of the temple with its mountainous background will not leave your imagination and you will return to visit it again (this is not my words). You can ask those who actually visited it). You will enjoy the Temple of Hatshepsut for about 45 minutes.

Now, after this amount of beauty, information, and pictures that we obtained today, we will leave this wonderful place to head back to the hotel. The car will move back to Hurghada. The way back takes about 4 hours (arrival to the hotel around 8:30-9:30pm, depending on the hotel’s location).

Where do I start!!! A massive thankyou to Mr Akram and his team for creating amazing excursions giving you memorable experiences. Right from the beginning, communication with Mr Akram was so professional, he attends to all your needs by listening to what it is you want to get out of your excursions and creates these amazing moments of a life time, all with the great connections he has. Nothing is too much of a hassle for Mr Akram, he answered all my questions thoroughly before I arrived. Mr Akram showed me and my friend Hurghada City and bought us drinks, which was a lovely gesture for getting to know each other. We went on two excursions whilst we were in Hurghada, one to Cairo and the other Luxor. Our hired car was very modern, clean and had AC, which gave us a great first impression. A big shout out to our driver Hamada- what an amazing job he does, not enough credit is given. He drove so professionally and made us feel safe the entire time we were in his company. A big shout out to Mushy our tour guide, what vast information she holds, absolutely amazing with great historical knowledge. She really gives you detailed information and takes her time explaining the finer details to you. Overall our whole experience was amazing, many laughs along the way, many memories to treasure. Nothing is too much hassle for these lovely people, Mr Akram always made sure we were ok and enjoyed our experiences by checking in on us. Drinks were always topped up ensuring we were hydrated all the time whilst on our tours. If your thinking of booking with Palma tours, don't think just book, you will not regret it, right from the first communication you make with Mr Akram, things run so smoothly that's its literally stress free for when you arrive. I can't thank Mr Akram, Hamada and Mushy enough, these three deserve well over 5 stars, and I'm already looking at my next trip for next year and I'm 1000% booking with yourselves again and Mushy and Hamada you'll be the people I'll be looking to hire again. Much love from Jill and Sobia (UK)

Ashraf was our Egyptian professional guide for a Czech small group planned "Sacred journey to the chacra temples of Egypt". As the title already says, not only were we using his incredible life experience of an egyptolog, tourist guide and organiser. We were also using his experience with the places themselves, which of the extra tickets are worth the money to visit the extra places, which of the villages and shops are fair and having good things. And of course all the historical stories linked to the places we visited with open mind to some new more alternative explanations of happenings too. The organisation of our trip from Hurghada, through Asuan, Luxor, Ghiza and back Hurghada is fully his expertise. Minivans, boat, train... He was always with us handling all to our happiness ❤️ Buying extra water, bananas or ordering better for stomach digestion food.

We had a great quad bike ride in the afternoon. The guide had a great energy and humor that made the tour extra good. On the way to the tour we had a driver that shouldn't be driving tourist, but when we told it to the company they gave us a another driver that drove perfect so we could relax in the car. That's a good and professional way of handling a problem. We can recommend this company.

We arranged the tour a few weeks in advance before arriving in Egypt. Akram presented us with a complete private tour program, starting in Hurghada, visiting Cairo, the Black and White deserts, Alexandria and finally returning to Hurghada. Everything run smoothly, from the different drivers, who picked us up and dropped us off, always punctual and safe (especially Hamada, 'Medo'!) to the guides, in particular Reeham in Cairo who was just outstanding and Ahmed in the desert tour who welcomed us in his home together with his family before taking us and preparing our dinner in the desert! The overnight stays were all planned in great detail. It was definitely an incredible experience during these 4 days! A huge thank you to Akram!

Very kind and profesional people. In every trip that I went with them, all details were taking care of. Ashraf is the most knowledgeable tour guide that I ever met in my life. You will go on a trip and come back as friends. I highly recommend golavita Tours!

Great service. We had a wonderful time. Our guide Abdel Salam was very kind, spoke excellent English and shared his extensive knowledge with us. We had a private AC car. Visited most of the main sites in Cairo over two days. Would highly recommend.
