Cairo and Luxor 2 Days trip from Hurghada by Flight
Day 1 / Explore Luxor East & West Bank
Your adventure begins with a convenient pickup from your Hurghada hotel in a private, air-conditioned car. You’ll be transferred to Luxor, Egypt’s ancient capital, where you’ll spend the day exploring some of the most significant archaeological sites in the world. Upon arrival, meet your private Egyptologist tour guide, who will accompany you throughout the day.
Your first stop is the Karnak Temple complex. This monumental site is the largest religious complex in Egypt and one of the most impressive historical attractions in Luxor. Karnak is home to grand structures, including towering obelisks, vast courtyards, and the famous Hypostyle Hall. It was built and expanded over 2,000 years by multiple pharaohs, making it a showcase of ancient Egyptian architecture and history.
Enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant in Luxor, offering a chance to taste authentic dishes.
Next, you’ll cross the Nile River via motorboat to reach the West Bank of Luxor, where more fascinating sites await.
In the Valley of the Kings, explore the burial place of Egypt’s most powerful pharaohs from the 18th to the 20th Dynasty. The tombs are decorated with beautiful frescoes, and you’ll see the burial sites of famous kings like Ramses II and the young Tutankhamun. The Valley is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and offers a rare glimpse into the ancient Egyptian afterlife.
Continue your tour with a visit to Hatshepsut Temple, one of Egypt’s most stunning temples, located on the banks of the Nile. The temple is known for its three terraced levels, majestic statues, and beautiful hieroglyphs that tell the story of this powerful queen-pharaoh.
End your day’s exploration with a visit to the Colossi of Memnon, two enormous stone statues that once guarded the mortuary temple of Pharaoh Amenhotep III. These iconic statues stand as silent witnesses to the grandeur of ancient Egyptian architecture.
In the evening, consider joining the Karnak Sound and Light Show. This mesmerizing show brings the ancient history of Karnak Temple to life with lights, music, and narration. You’ll hear the story of Thebes, its mighty rulers, and the grand achievements of the ancient Egyptians.
After an unforgettable day in Luxor, you’ll be transferred to Luxor Airport for your flight to Cairo. Upon arrival in Cairo, you will be taken to your hotel for an overnight stay.
Day 2 / Explore The Pyramids & Egyptian Museum
After breakfast, your guide will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo to start your day’s journey. First, head to the world-famous Pyramids of Giza, including the Great Pyramid of Cheops, Pyramid of Chephren, and Pyramid of Mykerinus. These awe-inspiring monuments are among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and are the ultimate symbol of Egypt’s ancient grandeur.
Next, marvel at the Great Sphinx, the legendary limestone statue with the body of a lion and the head of Pharaoh Chephren. It’s one of Egypt’s most enduring symbols and a must-see attraction.
If desired, you can opt to enter the Great Pyramid of Giza (additional cost) or visit the Boat Museum to see the solar boat of Pharaoh Cheops, which was discovered buried near the Great Pyramid.
Next, visit the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities, where you’ll discover a vast collection of over 250,000 artifacts from ancient Egypt. Among the highlights are the treasures of Tutankhamun, including his famous golden mask, jewelry, and other priceless items. The museum offers a rare opportunity to explore the mysteries of ancient Egypt in one place.
You can also choose to visit the Mummy Room (additional cost), where you’ll see the preserved bodies of Egypt’s most famous pharaohs, including Ramses II and other royal mummies.
As you head back to your hotel, pass through Tahrir Square, the site of significant political events, including the 2011 Egyptian Revolution, and witness its historic importance.
After your exciting day of discovery, you’ll be transferred to Cairo International Airport for your flight back to Hurghada. Upon arrival in Hurghada, you’ll be transferred back to your hotel, marking the end of your 2-day Cairo and Luxor adventure.
