This unique opportunity to visit the most famous ancient sites of Luxor, the old capital of Thebes, is a fascinating day tour from Hurghada to Luxor by road. Visit the largest temple at Karnak on the East Bank, then continue to the West Bank for the most-visited tombs, temples, and monuments in Upper Egypt.
Pick-up from your hotel in Hurghada by your tour manager for the drive to Luxor, where you're met and accompanied by an expert Egyptologist guide and travel by private air-conditioned vehicle to the magnificent Karnak Temple, the largest place of worship ever built, known in ancient times as Ipet-isut, "The Most Sacred of Places." Built over more than two thousand years by successive generations of pharaohs, the complex's Great Hypostyle Hall is an incredible forest of giant pillars.
Enjoy lunch en route at a good-quality restaurant before continuing to the West Bank of the Nile to see the two enormous Colossi of Memnon, statues of Amenhotep III, followed by the Valley of the Kings, where the tombs of the pharaohs were carved deep into the desert rock — you'll visit 3 tombs. Continue to Hatshepsut Temple at El Deir El Bahary, dedicated to Egypt's only female pharaoh, rising from the desert plain in terraces merging with the limestone cliffs. Transfer back by air-conditioned vehicle to Hurghada and on to your hotel. Lunch is included.
The best time is between October and April. The weather is cool and pleasant for visiting temples in Luxor and Aswan. Summer (June to August) can be very hot, with temperatures exceeding 40°C.
