Description
A Seamless Journey from Hurghada to Ancient Luxor by Air Experience the grandeur of Luxor, the world’s largest open-air museum, via a direct domestic flight from Hurghada. This curated day trip is designed for travelers who prioritize time and comfort, offering an efficient alternative to the lengthy desert drive. Covering thousands of years of heritage in a single day, this tour provides a comprehensive introduction to Egypt’s imperial past.
Upon arrival, your private Egyptologist will guide you through the legendary “City of the Dead” on the West Bank. Explore the Valley of the Kings, where the New Kingdom pharaohs were laid to rest, followed by the Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, a masterpiece of classical architecture. Your West Bank exploration concludes at the Colossi of Memnon, the towering sentinels of a bygone era.
Following lunch at a local restaurant, the journey continues to the East Bank—the “City of the Living.” Here, you will visit the Karnak Temple Complex, an expansive site of monumental pylons and obelisks, and the graceful Luxor Temple. For those seeking a more in-depth experience, the itinerary offers the flexibility to add a visit to the Luxor Museum, the Valley of the Nobles, or Medinet Habu.

I highly recommend them. From the initial planning stage to the final day, everything was handled with professionalism, care, and customized to our needs and wants.They were constantly available and took into consideration all our requests as a big group.The staff, tour guide, all operators we met were warm and professional. Dahalbiya itself was elegant and very well maintained.The itinerary was very well curated. This dahabiya cruise was the highlight of our Egypt trip, combining luxury, authenticity, and cultural depth. We highly recommend Go Lavita to anyone seeking a personalized and unforgettable Nile experience.
We contacted Ashraf to help us with the activities we wanted to do- he replied fast, was really professional and planed everything perfectly. He helped us with safari, diving and taking a flight to Cairo and everything was perfect! Would definitely recommend!
We booked a tour with Golavita, Mr Akram was very quick to respond to our questions and checked in with us daily to see how the tour was going.Waleed, the tour guide, was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The bottles of water to keep us hydrated was also a very nice addition.The private transport was top class, modern air conditioned vehicles and friendly and helpful drivers.
Really great day out, Akram , knowledgeable and fun,Akram was good company. A really excellent itinerary and experience, with all the hassle taken out and a lot of positives added in. Highly recommended to everyone!
A very beautiful experience which made our stay in Egypt unforgettable; Luxor with a caring guide and Cairo with Ismaël; a very cultured guide who listens to the happiness of customers.I would recommend this agency without hesitation
Wow my time in Egypt was beyond and it would never have been as good without my guide. I’m beyond grateful for his effort and all the energy he spent making my tips once in a lifetime. I know I’ll be back one day, and I look forward to see people I now call my friends.
Excellent private tour with a very knowledgeable , intelligent and tour guide. Ashraf went the extra mile to make sure our two day trip went smoothly and took us to all the best sites in Luxor. He also gave detailed interesting information throughout. He also has a fun character and was fun to talk to outside the tour!
We really enjoyed our Dahabiya trip from Luxor to Asswan, everything was well organized, great boat and crew, amazing food, and a perfect and pleasant tour guide Sayed
Great private tour to see desert and abandoned Roman ruins. Excellent service. We had private jeep, driver and tour guide. Amazing adventure, more than we expected. I strongly recommend this service. They can take you to some cool and unknown places far from main routes. Thank you for the amazing time!
