Itinerary
Luxor Excursion by Plane from Hurghada | Full-Day Private Tour
Your Luxor day trip begins with an early morning pickup from your hotel in Hurghada. You'll be driven in a comfortable, private transfer to Hurghada International Airport for a short, one-hour domestic flight to Luxor.
Upon arrival at Luxor International Airport, your expert Egyptologist guide will be waiting for you, holding a sign with your name. You'll immediately begin your exploration in a deluxe, air-conditioned vehicle.
Luxor West Bank - City of the Dead
Your journey starts on the West Bank of the Nile, known as the "City of the Dead." You will visit the legendary Valley of the Kings, the royal necropolis where pharaohs of the New Kingdom were buried. The valley contains 62 rock-cut tombs. Your ticket allows you to visit three of them, where you can marvel at the vibrant hieroglyphs and detailed wall paintings that have survived for millennia.
Next, you'll visit the stunning Temple of Hatshepsut, a masterpiece of ancient architecture. Dedicated to one of Egypt's most powerful female pharaohs, this mortuary temple is carved directly into the limestone cliffs of Deir el-Bahari. Its multi-tiered terraces and elegant colonnades create a striking and modern silhouette against the desert backdrop.
The West Bank tour concludes with a photo stop at the monumental Colossi of Memnon, two massive stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III that have stood guard for over 3,400 years.
Luxor East Bank - City of the Living
After a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, you'll start your final destination, the magnificent Karnak Temple Complex, the largest religious building in the world. Your guide will lead you through this immense site, allowing you to explore the awe-inspiring Great Hypostyle Hall with its 134 towering columns, the Sacred Lake, and the colossal statues and obelisks that tell the stories of countless pharaohs.
