2 Days Luxor Tour with Hotel and Nile Boat from Hurghada
Day 1 / Explore the West Bank's Timeless Wonders
Your journey begins with an early morning pick-up from your hotel in Hurghada, followed by a scenic drive through Egypt’s vast desert landscapes towards Luxor.
Upon arrival, your exploration starts with the West Bank of Luxor, home to some of Egypt’s most iconic ancient sites. First, visit the Valley of the Kings, the final resting place of some of Egypt’s most powerful pharaohs, including Ramses II and Tutankhamun.
Wander through the royal tombs, where you’ll be captivated by vivid hieroglyphs and intricate carvings depicting scenes from the Book of the Dead. For an unforgettable experience, choose to visit the Tomb of Tutankhamun, where the famous boy king’s tomb and stunning artifacts remain preserved in history.
Next, journey to the Temple of Hatshepsut, one of Egypt’s most extraordinary landmarks. This stunning terraced temple, carved into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari, celebrates the reign of Hatshepsut, Egypt’s first female pharaoh. Admire the temple’s detailed reliefs depicting her divine birth and trade expeditions to the Land of Punt.
Afterward, visit the Colossi of Memnon, two towering statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, standing proudly at the entrance of the Memnon Colossi site. These statues have witnessed the passage of over 3,000 years of Egyptian history. After soaking in the history, enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant, featuring popular dishes like koshari or grilled kofta. In the afternoon, unwind with a Nile boat ride, drifting along the tranquil waters of the river while taking in stunning views of the surrounding landscapes.
As the day ends, check into your luxurious 5-star hotel in Luxor, where you can relax and enjoy top-notch amenities, including a pool, spa, and panoramic views of the ancient city’s landmarks.
Day 2 / Discover the Majestic East Bank Temples
On the second day, enjoy a delicious breakfast at your hotel before setting off to explore the East Bank of Luxor. Your first stop is the vast and awe-inspiring Karnak Temple, one of the largest and most significant temple complexes in the world. Dedicated to the god Amun-Ra, Karnak spans over 100 hectares and is a labyrinth of sanctuaries, pylons, and chapels. Walk through the impressive Hypostyle Hall, with its 134 towering columns covered in intricate hieroglyphs, and marvel at the towering Obelisk of Hatshepsut. Don’t miss the serene Sacred Lake, once used for ritual purification, and the grand Amun-Ra Temple at the heart of Karnak.
Next, visit Luxor Temple, a breathtaking architectural marvel that showcases the grandeur of the New Kingdom. Originally constructed by Amenhotep III and later expanded by Ramses II, this temple was dedicated to the rejuvenation of kingship. As you explore, admire the colossal statues of Ramses II and the beautifully decorated columns. Also, take a stroll along the newly restored Avenue of Sphinxes, a historic 3-kilometer road lined with hundreds of sphinx statues, connecting Luxor Temple to Karnak Temple.
After an enriching morning exploring Egypt’s ancient temples, enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, offering more traditional Egyptian dishes to tantalize your taste buds.
In the afternoon, board your comfortable vehicle for the journey back to Hurghada, arriving at your hotel by the evening. Reflect on the awe-inspiring sites you’ve explored, from the Valley of the Kings and Temple of Hatshepsut to the incredible Karnak and Luxor Temples.
