2-Day Trip to Luxor, Kom Ombo, and Edfu from Hurghada with Private Transfers
D / 1
Luxor – Karnak Temple, Temple of Hatshepsut, and Valley of the Kings
Begin your adventure with a private transfer from your hotel in Hurghada to Luxor, passing through Egypt’s stunning desert landscapes and lush Nile Valley. Upon arrival, meet your Egyptologist guide who will lead you through Luxor’s most remarkable sites.
Your first stop is the Karnak Temple Complex, the largest and most important religious site in ancient Egypt. Dedicated to Amun-Ra, the god of the sun, this vast complex features the awe-inspiring Hypostyle Hall with 134 massive columns, towering obelisks, and beautifully carved hieroglyphics. Your guide will walk you through this monumental site, explaining its historical significance and the rituals that took place here during the reign of Egypt’s powerful pharaohs.
Next, visit the Temple of Hatshepsut, one of Egypt’s most iconic landmarks. Built by Queen Hatshepsut, the first female pharaoh of Egypt, this temple is carved into the cliffs of the Deir el-Bahari complex. The stunning terraces, symmetrical design, and intricate reliefs depicting the queen’s reign offer a glimpse into her remarkable achievements, including her divine birth and successful trading expeditions.
Afterward, head to the Valley of the Kings, the burial site of Egypt’s pharaohs from the New Kingdom. Explore the tombs of famous rulers, including Tutankhamun and Ramses II, which are adorned with vivid paintings and hieroglyphics that depict the pharaohs’ journey to the afterlife. As you descend into the tombs, you’ll marvel at the artistry and religious significance of the ancient Egyptian burial practices.
After a full day of exploration, enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant. Taste authentic dishes like koshari (a hearty mix of rice, lentils, pasta, and fried onions), falafel (crispy chickpea patties), and other delicious Egyptian specialties.
Afterward, check into your hotel in Luxor to relax and reflect on the day’s discoveries.

Edfu Temple and Kom Ombo Temple
On Day 2, continue your exploration of ancient Egypt with visits to two of the best-preserved temples in the country, both located along the banks of the Nile River.
Your first stop is the Temple of Horus in Edfu, dedicated to Horus, the falcon-headed god of the sky. Built during the Ptolemaic period (237–57 BCE), the temple is renowned for its impressive pylons and hypostyle hall with massive columns. The walls are adorned with detailed reliefs depicting the mythological battle between Horus and Seth, symbolizing the eternal struggle between order and chaos. The temple’s excellent state of preservation provides a fascinating insight into Egypt’s religious practices and architecture.
Your final stop is the Kom Ombo Temple, a unique dual temple dedicated to both Sobek, the crocodile god, and Horus the Elder, the falcon-headed god. The temple’s symmetrical design features two sanctuaries, each dedicated to one of the gods. As you explore the beautifully detailed reliefs and carvings, you’ll learn about the dual nature of the temple and the balance between the forces of good and evil in ancient Egyptian spirituality. The temple’s proximity to the Nile adds to its beauty, providing a peaceful atmosphere for reflection.
After visiting Kom Ombo, enjoy a delicious traditional Egyptian lunch, savoring dishes like fatta (rice, meat, and bread) or baba ganoush (eggplant dip) alongside salads and pita bread. Experience the vibrant flavors of Egyptian cuisine before continuing your journey.
After a memorable day of exploring two of Egypt’s most impressive temples, you’ll begin your return journey to Hurghada, reflecting on the incredible history and architecture you’ve encountered.
