Overview

Embark on an unforgettable full-day Luxor Day Tour from Hurghada by bus and step into the world of Ancient Egypt. This shared experience is the perfect way to discover Luxor’s most iconic historical sites in one day, guided by a professional Egyptologist who brings the stories of the pharaohs to life.

Your adventure begins with an early morning pickup from your hotel in Hurghada, followed by a comfortable and scenic drive through the Eastern Desert. Upon arriving in Luxor, your journey into ancient history starts at the Karnak Temple Complex, the largest religious structure ever built. Walk through its grand Hypostyle Hall, admire its towering columns, and learn how different pharaohs expanded this temple over more than 2,000 years.

After exploring Karnak, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before crossing to the West Bank of Luxor, home to some of Egypt’s most remarkable ancient sites. Your first stop is the Colossi of Memnon, two monumental statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III that have stood watch over the Theban necropolis for more than three millennia.

Next, you’ll visit the world-famous Valley of the Kings, the royal burial ground of the New Kingdom pharaohs. Here, you'll enter three ancient tombs, each decorated with vivid hieroglyphics and symbolic scenes of the afterlife. (An additional ticket is required if you wish to enter the tomb of Tutankhamun.)

Throughout the day, you’ll enjoy beautiful Nile River views, learn fascinating facts about ancient rituals and beliefs, and have the option (if available) to take a short felucca boat ride for unforgettable photos.

After a full day exploring Luxor’s most impressive treasures, you’ll begin your return journey to Hurghada, arriving back at your hotel in the evening with memories of Egypt’s ancient wonders that will last a lifetime.
