Ancient Luxor small-group day tour from Hurghada

4.6/5
248 reviews

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.

    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

    We booked the luxor tour we you and was told we would get an extra 20% off witch we didn't get on line so that was misleading and the tour guide didn't want to tell us that we had to book for breakfast with reception the day before. So we went hungry and no food till lunch time. The trip it's self was fantastic but a very long day with only a small set menu lunch. Only Just made it back for dinner. Hotel staff outstanding and will be going back to the hotel again infuture

    The trip to the valley of the kings was very rushed. Only had chance to see two tombs. But we then went to see an alabaster factory which was really just a hard sell to buy stuff and a waste of time that would be better spent at the valley of the kings. I didn’t pay £140 to sit in a shop feeling uncomfortable and feeling pressurised to buy some stuff. The rest of the tour was great, this hard sell let it down and soured the experience.

    This was an amazing day ,well worth it .our guide eezat( sorry if spelt wrong!) Was an archaeologist and was extremely knowledgeable about everything,he made the day for our group. Had a lovely lunch overlooking the nile. Karnak temples and the valley of the kings were amazing, just wish we'd had longer at karnak. A very early start and a long hot day,but so worth it.highly recommend this trip

    Our Luxor tour with TUI/Travco was unforgettable. With Reda as our guide — warm, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable — the day felt like exploring ancient Egypt with a friend. We loved Karnak Temple, the Nile crossing, the Valley of the Kings, and the beautiful Hatshepsut Temple. Even the alabaster workshop became a highlight thanks to the friendly atmosphere. Vendors can be a bit pushy in some areas, so keep your coins and tissues handy for toilets. A beautifully organised day full of history
