The Best of Luxor Day Trips
Pickup Point:
In an air-conditioned vehicle driven by an expert captain and with the accompaniment of your Egyptologist, enjoy a professional pickup service from your desired place in Luxor.
Arrive at the Valley of the Queens:
It was dedicated to the royal family members—the daughters of the kings, their wives, and their sons.
The royal tomb in the Valley of the Kings was dedicated to only the king. Hence the Valley of the Queens was established for those royal members, including the sons, and not only the women.
In the Ptolemaic era and the end of the Twentieth Dynasty, they began to create tombs for the most important persons in the state. So, you will find here 91 royal tombs and 19 tombs for the important persons.
Visit the most important tomb that is dedicated to Nefertari. It includes the terrible architectural development in the Pharaonic civilization that Egyptian engineers reached in that period.
The valley also includes other amazing royal tombs. Some of them are Queen Titi's tomb, Princess Khaemwaset's tomb, and Amun Harkhebsh's tomb.
Explore Habu Temple:
Cross through the entrance of the temple made as per the Syrian architecture, and that is the effect of the Egyptian wars.
Arrive at the remains of a royal palace dedicated to Ramses III; it was used for the festivals, like the Valley Day.
The inscriptions on the columns and walls of this well-preserved temple built by Ramses III were dug deeply to 15 cm. Since Ramses III wanted to document his era. See these fabulous inscriptions.
How the stones of this massive, amazing temple were transferred to this site, and how many builders did establish it?! Uncover all these facts with your Egyptologist.
Arrive at this temple established during the 18th dynasty, including artifacts dating back to Thutmose I, Hatshepsut, Thutmose II, and Thutmose III.
Meet the tombs of the gods’ daughters, the stable where royal horses were raised, the holy lake still existing, soldier rooms, and statues of Sekhmet.
Lunchtime at a Top-Class Local Restaurant:
At a local restaurant, savor the tasty Egyptian meal. We take care if you are a vegetarian or not when selecting your delicious food.
Ramesseum Temple
Ramesseum Temple is where you explore the fact that these funerary temples are intended to mummify the king or to perform only the ritual of opening the king’s mouth after mummification?! What is the purpose of the mouth-opening ritual, which was performed in 121 steps?
There are who said that the mummification process was done at the royal palace for 69 days, and the 70th day, which is the last day, would be at this temple of the opening mouth process.
Actually, you will explore the whole use in the daily life of the pharaonic temples, getting to know an important side of ancient Egypt.

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.
I had an unforgettable overnight trip to the Sataya-Dolphin House. Great organization and easy communication. All of my wishes were taken into account and fulfilled. Thank's a lot!
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.
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.
We had booked airport transfers from Hurgada airport to our resort in May 2022 and our experience was excellent. What sets this company apart was the responsive service we got through WhatsApp messaging. You may not be aware of this but meeting a taxi driver at airport is not so easy or obvious as the security personnel does not allow drivers in or even standing by the entrance. It all was resolved easily by WhatsApp communication. I cannot overstate how important is having a rapid response when something does not go as you would expect. Thank you Ashraf.
I am aware this company does much more than airport transfers: while I did not use any during my stay, I wouldnot hesitate to recommend this organisation to plan for your excursion needsin Hurghada.
Update April 2023: Used them again for this trip booking through Hoppa, same excellent service.
Everything was great. We did Cairo tour and Luxor. 7 pers with driver and guide. The trips was tiring, but it was worth it.
We received exactly the services reserved.
