Luxor Exploration from Hurghada – Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple
Your incredible journey begins with an early 5:00 AM pick-up from your hotel in Hurghada. A private, air-conditioned vehicle will take you on a scenic drive through the desert, heading toward Luxor, the ancient city of Thebes.
During the 3 to 4-hour drive, enjoy the changing desert landscapes as your expert guide shares fascinating details about Egypt’s rich history.
Upon arriving in Luxor, your private guide will first take you to the remarkable Karnak Temple, one of Egypt’s largest and most impressive temple complexes, covering an area of 247 acres. Explore the grand Hypostyle Hall with its 134 towering columns, intricately carved hieroglyphs, and breathtaking details. Wander through the Sacred Lake, discover the Obelisks of Hatshepsut, and the Temple of Amun-Ra, where ancient pharaohs performed sacred rituals. The scale and serenity of Karnak will leave you in awe.
Next, visit the Luxor Temple on the east bank of the Nile River. Built by Amenhotep III and later expanded by Ramesses II, this temple is one of the best-preserved monuments of ancient Egypt. The temple is known for its stunning Avenue of Sphinxes, twin obelisks, and colossal statues of Ramesses II. Your guide will explain the history of the Opet Festival, celebrating the union between the gods and pharaohs, and highlight the temple’s role in royal rituals.
After your tour of the temples, enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant with picturesque views of the Nile River. Indulge in traditional Egyptian cuisine, such as koshari, grilled meats, falafel, and fresh salads.
In the afternoon, check-in to your luxurious 5-star hotel, which offers spectacular views of the Nile River. Relax in your spacious room, or unwind by the pool, soaking in the serene atmosphere of Luxor. You can also take a peaceful stroll along the river before ending your day.

Hot Air Balloon Ride, Valley of the Kings, Valley of the Queens
On Day 2, your adventure begins with an early Hot Air Balloon ride over the Valley of the Kings. As the sun rises over Luxor, you’ll be treated to breathtaking aerial views of the ancient tombs, temples, and the winding Nile River. The golden morning light bathes the ancient landscape, offering an unforgettable perspective of this historical site.
After your thrilling balloon ride, enjoy a breakfast box before heading to the West Bank of the Nile to explore the famous Valley of the Kings. This legendary burial site is home to the tombs of Egypt’s most powerful pharaohs, including Ramses II , Tutankhamun and Seti I. You’ll explore the beautifully decorated tombs, witnessing stunning wall murals, hieroglyphs, and elaborate burial chambers.
Next, visit the remarkable Valley of the Queens, where the wives and children of the pharaohs were buried. Here, you will visit the extraordinary Tomb of Nefertari, one of the most beautifully preserved and vibrantly painted tombs in all of Egypt. The tomb’s walls are adorned with vivid scenes from Egyptian mythology, including Nefertari’s journey to the afterlife, depicted in intricate detail. The vivid colors and exceptional preservation make this tomb one of the most awe-inspiring in Egypt.
Afterward, head to the Hatshepsut Temple, one of Egypt’s most striking architectural masterpieces. Built into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari, this impressive structure is dedicated to Queen Hatshepsut, one of Egypt’s most powerful female pharaohs. The temple’s grand terraces and ramps set against the desert backdrop make it one of the most photographed sites in Luxor.
On your way back, make a stop at the Colossi of Memnon, two massive stone statues of Amenhotep III, standing as silent guardians for over 3,000 years. These colossal statues, made from quartzite sandstone, once flanked the entrance to Amenhotep’s mortuary temple and are one of Luxor’s most iconic landmarks.
After a full day of exploration, enjoy a delicious lunch at a Nile-view restaurant, where you can savor classic Egyptian dishes like grilled meats, falafel, and fresh salads while enjoying panoramic views of the Nile and the surrounding lush landscape.
Following lunch, your private guide will accompany you back to your vehicle, and you’ll begin your scenic journey back to Hurghada, where you’ll be dropped off at your hotel in the evening, completing this memorable and enriching tour of Luxor’s ancient wonders.
