Luxor Tour from Hurghada
After a four-hour drive we'll arrive in Luxor, where the Temple of Karnak awaits us. This colossal masterpiece, which took over 2000 years to build, is dedicated to the Sun God, Amun-Ra. Did you know that it was the largest temple in Ancient Egypt? We'll get to admire the hieroglyphs on its columns, walk through its hypostyle hall and learn all about the beliefs of the ancient Egyptian civilisation.
After visiting this important monument, we'll enjoy a delicious buffet lunch. After eating, we'll sail across the Nile by boat to visit the funerary Temple of Hatshepsut. We'll reveal all about this queen, who was the second confirmed female Pharaoh.
Before returning to Hurghada, we'll also visit the famous Colossi of Memnon, two imposing sculptures representing the pharaoh Amenhotep III, which will leave you speechless!
Luxor Tour + Valley of the Queens
If you'd like an even more complete tour, why not visit the Valley of the Queens too? If you book this option, we'll visit the Colossi of Memnon first, before heading to the Valley of the Queens, an ancient necropolis where the princesses and wives of the pharaohs were buried. We'll visit three tombs to admire the exquisite interior decoration and learn why the ancient Egyptians attached so much importance to funerary rituals.
After visiting these three tombs, we'll head to the Temple of Hatshepsut. Afterwards, we'll cross the Nile and have a lunch break in Luxor before visiting the Temple of Karnak and returning to Hurghada.
Luxor Tour + Valley of the Kings
Thutmose III, Ramesses VI, Ramesses IX, Siptah, Ramesses IV... If you want to visit the tombs of some of the most important pharaohs of Ancient Egypt, this tour is ideal for you.
After arriving in Luxor, we'll visit the incredible Temple of Karnak. We'll then refuel with a delicious lunch, before taking a boat across the Nile to the Valley of the Kings, where Tutankhamun's tomb was found almost intact. We'll visit three of the tombs here and, during our tour, we'll tell you about the most important pharaohs as well as talking about the continuous looting of these royal tombs.
We'll then continue the tour to the Temple of Hatshepsut and the Colossi of Memnon before returning to Hurghada.
