Join this 2-day tour from Hurghada and discover the highlights of Luxor. Described as one of the world's greatest open-air museums, Luxor is home to many iconic jewels like Karnak Temple, the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple and Luxor Temple with the amazing Sphinx Avenue.

Day one: you'll start your journey with a drive towards Luxor along the Red Sea coast and through the Eastern Desert until reaching the Nile Valley. After an approximately four-hour drive, you'll stop at the impressive Karnak Temple, a sprawling complex of towering temples, followed by Luxor Temple with the Sphinx Avenue. You'll have time to rest your legs and tuck into lunch before you check in at Hotel Steigenberger or Iberotel Luxor. In the evening, you'll enjoy the sound and light show at Karnak temple, recounting the history of Thebes and the lives of the pharaohs who built sanctuaries, courts, statues, and obelisks in honor of Amun. Back to the hotel in Luxor for dinner and overnight.

Day two: check out from the hotel and drive towards Luxor West Bank to visit the Valley of the Kings. You'll enter three of its 63 royal tombs and take in the ancient Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut and Colossi of Memnon, two monumental statues of equally monumental size. Next, you'll experience the Nile onboard a felucca, sailing from Luxor West Bank to East Bank towards the hotel. A motorboat is an alternative during windy days. Enjoy a delicious set-menu lunch at the hotel and drive back to Hurghada.

Es war einfach großartig unser Tourguide war die ganze Zeit bei uns und hat alles perfekt organisiert wir konnten sogar unsere Wünsche mit einbringen. Der Fahrer mit seinem modernen Minibus war steht’s Freundlich und hat immer Lächeln gezeigt. Es hat meine Erwartungen mehr als übertroffen.

We thought the pace of the weekend was perfect. We weren’t rushed. Having Mohamed Zaher as our guide meant we could ask as many questions as we liked and stay longer in places if we wished. He was friendly and knowledgeable too. We consistently felt ‘looked after’ by him and our driver Ahmed. We felt the trips itinerary allowed us to visit the places we’d read about without feeling we’d left anything out.

We enjoyed everything we did and our tour guide Mohammed was exceptional! He was organised, informative, clean, knowledgeable, respectful and we couldn’t have asked for more.

The driver Rapea was excellent and the guide Medhat was friendly, knowledgeable and interesting. The sites of Luxor were amazing.

Loved all the cultural bits, our guide was fantastic, but being left at an appalling hotel for an entire afternoon while we awaited the evening Sound and Light Show at the Karnak Temple did not justify the price difference between the overnight and the day trip.

Quality of minibus, driver and guide was very good. Communication of our food and drink allowance was misleading and led to arguments with hotel staff. This problem could be removed by giving customers a voucher explaining what they were entitled to.
