Begin your journey with an early morning departure from your hotel in Soma Bay. Sit back and relax in your private air-conditioned vehicle for the scenic 4-hour drive through Egypt’s beautiful desert landscapes en route to Luxor.

Upon arrival, venture into the West Bank of Luxor, home to the most famous necropolis of ancient Egypt. Your first stop is the legendary Valley of the Kings, where Egypt’s New Kingdom pharaohs were laid to rest in intricately decorated tombs. Visit a selection of these tombs, such as those of Tutankhamun, Ramses VI, and Seti I, as your expert guide reveals the fascinating history and symbolism of these royal burials.

Next, visit the awe-inspiring Temple of Hatshepsut, dedicated to Egypt’s most powerful female pharaoh. This temple, carved into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari, is known for its unique architectural design and grand terraces. Explore its columns, reliefs, and statues, learning about Hatshepsut’s reign and her contributions to ancient Egypt.

After an exciting morning, enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant in Luxor, sampling authentic Egyptian cuisine.

Your afternoon continues with a stop at the towering Colossi of Memnon, two massive statues that once guarded the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III. These impressive statues stand as silent sentinels of Egypt’s golden age.

Check into your comfortable hotel in Luxor and take some time to relax. In the evening, if time permits, consider an optional activity like a tranquil felucca ride on the Nile or a visit to the Luxor Temple at night, where the illuminated columns and statues create a magical atmosphere.

Begin your second day with a delicious breakfast at your hotel before heading out to explore Luxor’s East Bank. Your first stop is the magnificent Karnak Temple, the largest religious complex ever built in Egypt. Walk through the vast Hypostyle Hall, with its towering columns and beautifully carved reliefs, and discover the temple’s rich history as the main center of worship for Amun-Ra.

Next, visit the elegant Luxor Temple, located in the heart of the city. This temple was a center of religious and political life in ancient Thebes, and it remains one of the best-preserved monuments in Egypt. As you wander through its colonnades and statues, your guide will share stories of the temple’s role in the grand festivals and rituals of the pharaohs.

Enjoy another delightful lunch at a local restaurant before spending the afternoon exploring at your own pace. You may wish to visit the Luxor Museum, home to a superb collection of ancient artifacts, or stroll through the bustling local markets, where you can shop for spices, textiles, and handcrafted souvenirs.

As the day draws to a close, you’ll begin your journey back to Soma Bay, reflecting on the unforgettable experiences of the past two days. Enjoy the comfort of your private vehicle as you make the 4-hour drive back, arriving at your hotel in the evening with a wealth of memories from your Luxor adventure.
