337 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.

    Onze uitstap naar het oude Luxor was fantastisch, opgehaald aan ons hotel, een héél goed pratende Nederlandse gids, die echt met passie over de geschiedenis en alles er rond vertelde, voldoende water gekregen, bootvaart op de Nijl, lunch was oké, ook de graftombes...het enige nadeel is dat ze daar blijven aandringen voor fooien, dingen te verkopen maar sommigen verstaan geen "Nee" en blijven gewoon naast je lopen...verschrikkelijk!...maar daar kan de organisatie niets aan doen natuurlijk...

    Veiligheid, er waren 2! voorzichtige vriendelijke chauffeurs, de gids was super! Hij weet enorm veel, hij is enthousiast zonder te overdrijven en zijn engels was excellent. Er zat vanalles in, zelfs een stukje op de Nijl, aangenaam verrast. De tempels en de vallei der koningen zijn uiteraard fenomenaal. Een absolute topper.

    The guide was excellent and really knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions the day overall was really good. The only down side was the travel and not really being able to sleep on the coach due to the upright position of the seats which I suppose you can’t really help

    Our guide Momen was excellent and knowledgeable, in his area of expertise. We cannot rate him enough. Making the tour interesting and informative. The transport was also excellent with two drivers ensuring our safety. It was an experience we will never forget made more unforgettable by Momen. We only wish we could have done more tours with him.
