Luxor Day Trip Valley of Kings & Hatshepsut & Karnak – Hurghada

Prepare for an early morning pickup and a comfortable transfer by air-conditioned coach to Luxor, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where your guide will greet you. Begin your adventure by crossing the Nile to the West Bank and visiting the famous Valley of the Kings, which contains 63 royal tombs dating back nearly 4,000 years. The stunning art that adorns the tomb walls offers a glimpse into the lives of Egypt’s ancient rulers. Then, explore the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari, honoring this iconic female pharaoh, and admire the colossal statues known as the Colossi of Memnon. After returning to the East Bank, enjoy a relaxing traditional lunch before visiting the expansive Temple of Karnak. Your day wraps up with a stop at an alabaster factory before your coach takes you back to your hotel.

The trip starts from Hurghada to Luxor

Enjoy a 30-minute break, where you can stretch your legs, grab a refreshing drink, and experience a glimpse of local life.

Karnak Temple in Luxor is a testament to monumental ancient architecture, showcasing grand statues, soaring columns, and the biggest temple ever erected, just a short distance from the city’s hustle and bustle. With over 1,000 years of construction, this site reflects a rich variety of art and design.

Embark on a serene motorboat cruise along the Nile River, the lifeblood of ancient Egypt. Enjoy the breathtaking views of Luxor’s West Bank, dotted with ancient temples and tombs, and feel the tranquility of the river as you glide past. Savor a delicious local lunch at a Nile-side restaurant, where you can enjoy authentic Egyptian cuisine while soaking up the vibrant atmosphere.

The grand Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari stands as one of the most remarkable funerary monuments of the ancient world, rivaling the Pyramids. Nestled against the towering cliffs that overlook the Valley of the Kings, the temple features three expansive terraces linked by ramps, each adorned with a row of simple, unembellished square columns. Hatshepsut, one of ancient Egypt’s few female pharaohs, aptly named her monument the ‘Splendor of Splendors.’ However, much of the temple’s construction dates back to earlier rulers, beginning with Mentuhotep II around 2050 BC. Over time, many sphinxes and statues have vanished, enhancing the structure’s imposing presence. The cool stone interior offers a refreshing escape from the intense heat of the region and showcases well-preserved wall reliefs and hieroglyphics, some still vibrant in color.

The Valley of the Kings is an archaeological wonder, showcasing dozens of tombs decorated with intricate art and hieroglyphics. Don’t miss King Tutankhamun’s tomb, the valley’s most famous site, and take a tour of the temples of Ramses II’s sons and Amenhotep III to admire the ancient treasures and artifacts.

Standing majestically in the Theban Necropolis, the Colossi of Memnon (Arabic: el-Colossat or es-Salamat) are two colossal statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III from Egypt’s 18th Dynasty. Erected around 1350 BC, these remarkable figures have endured for more than 3,400 years, overlooking the Nile from the west side of Luxor.

Discover the exquisite craftsmanship of ancient Egyptian artisans at the Alabaster factory. Admire the intricate carvings and sculptures made from alabaster, a translucent stone that was highly prized in ancient Egypt.

Embark on your return journey to Hurghada, taking in the stunning scenery of the Egyptian countryside along the way. Make a brief stop for a rest before continuing your journey.
