Private Full Day to Luxor with Professional Guide – Hurghada

Discover the wonders of ancient Egypt on this fun and interesting full-day tour from Hurghada to Luxor. After the pick-up at your hotel you will explore the Temple of Karnak, Hatshepsut, the impressive Valley of the Queens, the Colossi of Memnon and take a boat tour cross the River Nile where you can enjoy your lunch and then head back to Hurghada.

Embark on an early morning adventure from Hurghada, leaving behind the bustling coastal city and setting off towards the heart of ancient Egypt.

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

Ancient architecture goes monumental at this landmark in Luxor, which houses magnificent statues, columns, and the largest place of worship ever constructed—just a stone’s throw from downtown traffic. Construction of Karnak Temple spanned more than 1,000 years, and it shows in the diverse art and architecture of this Egyptian site.

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 vast Temple of Hatshepsut (at Deir el-Bahari) rivals the Pyramids as one of the great funerary monuments of the ancient world. Built into the towering cliff face which shelter the Valley of the Kings on the other side, it rises on three enormous terraces connected by ramps, each level marked with a colonnade of stark, largely unadorned square pillars.Its namesake was one of the few female pharaohs of ancient Egypt, who not unfairly called her monument “Splendor of Splendors”. However, much of the construction dated from earlier rulers, starting with Mentuhotep II in 2050 BC. Numerous sphinxes and other statues have since disappeared, making the whole structure appear even more monolithic.The cool stone interior provides welcome relief from the pitiless heat of this region, and features well-preserved wall reliefs and hieroglyphics, some in brilliant colors.

Hidden in a Y-shaped ravine on the West Bank of the Nile, the Valley of the Queens is an ancient burial site where the wives of the reigning Pharaohs from the 18th, 19th, and 20th dynasties were buried. The valley not only contains the tombs of the royal wives and children from this time, but is also home to a number of other tombs of members of the royal families, including princesses and princes.The most famous tomb at the site is that of Queen Nefertari, which is only occasionally open to visitors. Widely considered to be the finest in the whole of Egypt, the tomb of Nefertari has been completely restored but is nevertheless closed more often than not. Nefertari was one of the five wives of Ramses II, and the tomb he built for his favourite queen is a grand shrine to her beauty and a testament of his love for her. Among its ornate decoration it features colorful scenes upon its chamber walls and golden stars adorning the ceiling.

Little remains of the once impressive Amenhotep’s memorial temple. But the two imposing statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, erected to guard the ancient entrance, still stand watch some 3,400 years later. Today, travelers can venture to the shores of the Nile, just across from the city of Luxor, and revel at the giant manmade sculptures.In addition to these impressive twin statues, travelers can check out two smaller figures of the Pharaoh’s wife, Tiy, and mother, Mutemwia. Visitors can also get an up close look at the sandstone panel carvings that showcase images of the Nile god Hapy. Even if most of the Colossi has been lost to weather an the ages, travelers can still get a sense of the wonder this site once held.

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.

Arrive back in Hurghada and be dropped off at your hotel, ready to share your unforgettable experiences of Luxor.
