Overview

This full-day tour from Hurghada to Luxor lasts about 12 to 15 hours and includes hotel pickup and drop-off. The day starts early with a pickup around 4:15 AM from the hotel in Hurghada, El Gouna, Makadi, or Soma Bay, with an additional charge for transfers from some locations. The drive to Luxor includes a 20-minute stop at a roadside rest area where participants can use the bathroom or buy breakfast at their own expense. The first visit is to the Karnak Temple Complex, where the group spends about two hours exploring the large site of temples, chapels, and pylons. Next, the group crosses the Nile River by a short four-minute boat ride from the east bank to the west bank. After crossing, lunch is served at a local restaurant on the Nile offering Mediterranean and Egyptian dishes; drinks are not included and are available for an extra charge. In the afternoon, the tour continues with a visit to the Valley of the Kings, where the entrance ticket allows entry to three tombs within this burial site used by pharaohs and nobles during the New Kingdom period. Then the group visits the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, located beneath the cliffs at Deir el-Bahari on the west bank of the Nile, spending about 45 minutes there. The tour then stops at the Colossi of Memnon, two large stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III standing in the Theban Necropolis. Following this, there is a visit to an alabaster workshop where visitors can watch the production process, buy souvenirs, use the bathroom, and have a free soft drink. On the return trip, there is a final rest stop where participants can use the bathroom or purchase dinner at their own expense. The tour ends with a drop-off at the hotel. The tour is guided by a professional local guide and includes hotel transfers, lunch, and the short Nile boat crossing. Additional payments apply for gratuities, drinks, and optional stops.
