This more leisurely 2-day trip to Luxor from Hurghada lets you take in the real sites of Upper Egypt at a relaxed pace. You'll have the opportunity to explore all of the world-renowned sites on both the East Bank and West Bank of the Nile, along with free leisure time to enjoy in the city of Luxor.
Pick-up from your hotel in Hurghada by your tour manager for the drive to Luxor, where you're met 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 as Ipet-isut, "The Most Sacred of Places," and home to the Great Hypostyle Hall's forest of giant pillars. Continue to Luxor Temple, built by Amenhotep III and Ramses II for rituals and festivals dedicated to the god Amun.
From there, you're driven to your hotel for check-in, with free time in Luxor and the option to join an evening tour to the spectacular Sound and Light Show at Karnak Temple, or an optional tour of Luxor City and its market. Enjoy an overnight stay in Luxor, with lunch included at a good-quality restaurant.
Enjoy an informative trip to the West Bank of the Nile to visit the two enormous Colossi of Memnon, statues of Amenhotep III, followed by a journey into ancient Egyptian history at 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 and rising from the desert plain in terraces that merge with the limestone cliffs.
Lunch is included en route, with free time and an optional tour to Banana Island by felucca ride on the Nile, before being driven back to your hotel in Hurghada.
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.
