What to expect

This tour is your key to unlocking Egyptian history – and unveiling the eternal story of ancient Luxor, described as one of the world’s greatest open-air museums. The ancient Egyptians built their great monuments based on meticulous engineering and mathematics.

On this semi-private tour for small groups of up to 8 pax, you will experience Luxor’s top treasures including Karnak Temple, the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple plus the giant Colossi of Memnon – all of which you’ll explore in just one day, including a delicious set menu lunch at a 5-star hotel to meet your expectations.

Setting off from Hurghada City and surroundings in Makdai Bay, Soma Bay, Sahl Hashish, El Gouna, Safaga and Kalawy Bay in the early morning through the Red Sea Mountains to Luxor, you’ll stop for breakfast before delving into your first sight – the impressive Karnak Temple, a sprawling complex of towering temples. Next, you’ll have a set menu lunch before heading to the Valley of the Kings by motorboat across the Nile. You’ll get to enter three of its 63 royal tombs. Then, take in the ancient Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, and the staggering Colossi of Memnon. Expect a jam-packed day of temples, tombs, and monuments that sweep you through thousands of years of history.

    Die Tour war der Hammer. Wir haben viel über die Geschichte von Ägypten erfahren .Unser Führer war erstklassig .Er hat uns geduldig all unsere Fragen beantwortet und war immer für einen Spaß zu haben.

    Wir hatten eine tolle Tour nach Karnak und Luxor. Unser Guide war sehr informativ und achtete sehr gut auf unsere Gruppe. Es war nie hektisch und wir hatten ausreichend Zeit die Sehenswürdigen anzuschauen. Das Mittagessen hatten wir im Iberotel in Luxor. Hier war das Essen gut.

    The temples and tombs were fabulous and Hassan was a friendly and attentive guide. As it was a day trip we did expect to feel a bit rushed and that was certainly the case. Disappointingly though, a big reason for the rush was the insistence on visiting an alabaster shop. This was clearly nothing other than a blatant pitch to relieve us of more money, having already paid a premium for the tour. It was unnecessary, added nothing and left me wishing we could have had more time elsewhere

    This is a truely wonderful experience. It is a very long day with a lot packed in and definitely worth the money. You get to see both temples and tombs and the guide is very knowledgeable and imparts lots of interesting information whilst showing you around and then gives time to look around at your own pace. The lunch is lovely although a little rushed. The afternoon was slightly rushed, it would have been nice to have a little more time to look about the valley of Kings. Overall fabulous.

    Excellent guide, drivers, good transport, lots of stops, felt alabaster factory took up time we could have used to see more tombs and lunch at hotel rather basic and rushed but overall a fantastic experience not to have been missed
