Discover the ancient treasures of Luxor on a private day tour from Hurghada. Your early morning departure allows for a full day of exploration along the Nile, with the convenience of a private, air-conditioned vehicle and an expert Egyptologist guide.
Begin your journey with a scenic 4–5 hour drive from Hurghada to Luxor, including a short rest and refreshment stop en route.
Start your visit on the West Bank of Luxor at the Valley of the Kings, the necropolis of New Kingdom pharaohs. Marvel at the intricately decorated tombs and, if you wish, explore the legendary tomb of Tutankhamun (entrance fee not included).
Enjoy a delicious traditional Egyptian lunch at a reputable local restaurant, preparing you for the afternoon’s sightseeing.
Head to the Karnak Temple, the largest religious complex in Egypt, renowned for its forest of towering columns, majestic obelisks, sacred lake, and detailed architectural marvels. Then, visit the Luxor Temple, dedicated to the Theban triad of gods: Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. Admire the well-preserved bas-reliefs and monumental pylons.
On your way back, stop at the Colossi of Memnon, two colossal statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III that remain from his once-grand mortuary temple complex.
Finally, return to Hurghada in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle, reflecting on a day filled with awe-inspiring history and culture. This private tour is ideal for travelers seeking a personalized experience with flexible timing.
