Overday Luxor

About this activity

Start your day with a comfortable early-morning pick-up from your hotel in Hurghada. Travel through the scenic landscapes of the Nile Valley on your way to Luxor, where you’ll be immersed in the splendor of Egypt’s ancient wonders.

Your first stop is the magnificent Karnak Temple, a sprawling complex of pylons, chapels, and obelisks dedicated to the Theban gods. Walk through the awe-inspiring Hypostyle Hall, a forest of massive stone columns that stand as a testament to ancient engineering and devotion.

Next, head to a local restaurant where you’ll enjoy a delicious Egyptian lunch, re-energizing for the adventures ahead. For a touch of tranquility, you may choose an optional felucca ride on the Nile River, where you’ll drift across its calm waters while enjoying stunning views.

Cross to Luxor’s West Bank to visit the Colossi of Memnon, two imposing statues that once guarded the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III. Then, explore the Valley of the Kings, the royal necropolis where Pharaohs such as Tutankhamun were laid to rest. Marvel at the intricate carvings and colorful frescoes that have survived thousands of years.

Conclude your tour with a visit to the majestic Temple of Hatshepsut, uniquely designed to blend seamlessly with the surrounding cliffs. Learn about the remarkable reign of this trailblazing female pharaoh from your Egyptologist guide.

After a day steeped in history and culture, relax on the return journey to Hurghada, where you’ll be dropped off at your hotel.
