TOUR DESCRIPTION
Begin your adventure with an early morning departure from Hurghada in a comfortable convoy. The journey to Luxor takes approximately 4.5 hours aboard luxurious, air-conditioned vehicles featuring reclining seats and, in full-size coaches, on-board restrooms. Sit back and take in the dramatic landscapes of rugged mountains, sweeping deserts, and fertile valleys as your guide shares captivating stories and insights into the history of Upper Egypt.
Upon arrival in Luxor, cross the Nile to the West Bank to explore the legendary Valley of the Kings, where you’ll visit three of the magnificent royal tombs carved deep into the mountainside.
Before heading to the East Bank, pause at the imposing Colossi of Memnon—the towering statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III. These ancient sentinels have stood in place for over 3,000 years and once marked the entrance to a grand temple. Take a break for a delicious lunch served in a deluxe hotel, offering a moment to relax and recharge.
In the afternoon, visit the awe-inspiring Karnak Temple, the largest religious complex ever built. Discover the majestic Hypostyle Hall, sacred lake, and the iconic Avenue of the Sphinxes. Before departing Luxor, enjoy a brief photo stop at the elegant Luxor Temple.
Finally, rejoin the convoy for your return journey to Hurghada, bringing back unforgettable memories of ancient splendor.
