Embark on a private day tour to Luxor from Hurghada and explore the remarkable sites of ancient Egypt with your personal guide.
This tour takes you to the most famous landmarks in Luxor, including the Tomb of Tutankhamun, Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple, and more, all while traveling in comfort with your own private air-conditioned vehicle. Your Egyptologist guide will provide insightful commentary throughout the journey, enriching your experience.
Your adventure begins with a private transfer from your hotel in Hurghada to Luxor. Relax and enjoy the scenic drive across the Egyptian countryside, which takes approximately 4-5 hours. The journey passes through the coastal road, as well as towns like Safaga, Qena, and finally reaching Luxor, where the wonders of ancient Egypt await.
Your driver will ensure you have a smooth, comfortable ride, making stops for refreshments if needed.
Once you arrive in Luxor, your first stop is the legendary Tomb of Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings. This tomb is perhaps the most famous in Egypt, thanks to the discovery of King Tut’s treasures in 1922 by Howard Carter.
Explore the tomb and marvel at the intricate murals and hieroglyphs that adorn its walls, telling stories of the young Pharaoh’s life and his journey to the afterlife. The tomb’s treasures, including the iconic golden mask, are displayed in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, but the tomb itself remains a must-see for any history lover.
After visiting the tomb of Tutankhamun, head over to the broader Valley of the Kings, a vast necropolis where many of Egypt’s most powerful pharaohs are buried. The valley contains over 60 tombs, including those of Ramses II, Seti I, and others.
These tombs are known for their richly decorated walls, which feature scenes of the pharaohs’ journey to the afterlife. You will visit several of these tombs and have the chance to admire their preserved artwork and learn about the beliefs and practices surrounding death in ancient Egypt.
Next, stop by the Alabaster Factory in Luxor, where local artisans continue the ancient tradition of crafting stunning alabaster items.
Watch skilled craftsmen work with materials like alabaster, marble, and stone to create beautiful statues, vases, and other decorative pieces. Learn about the history of this craft and how it has been passed down through generations, and take the opportunity to purchase unique souvenirs to take home.
After the alabaster factory, head to the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, one of the most architecturally impressive monuments in Luxor.
Built into the cliffs of the Theban Mountains, this mortuary temple is dedicated to Queen Hatshepsut, one of Egypt’s most successful female pharaohs. The temple’s terraces and grand entrance are truly awe-inspiring. As you explore, your guide will explain the fascinating story of Hatshepsut’s reign and her ambitious building projects, which include this extraordinary temple.
After visiting the temple, take a break and enjoy a delicious Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant.
Here, you can sample traditional Egyptian dishes such as koshari, fool, and taameya (Egyptian falafel). This meal is a perfect way to relax and refuel while experiencing the authentic flavors of Egypt.
The final stop of your tour is the magnificent Karnak Temple, one of the largest and most impressive religious sites in the world.
Spanning over 247 acres, this temple complex includes several temples, chapels, and pylons, all dedicated to the ancient Egyptian gods. The Great Hypostyle Hall, with its towering columns, is one of the main highlights of Karnak, and visitors can also explore the Amun-Ra Temple and other significant structures.
As you wander through the vast temple grounds, your guide will explain the history of this incredible site and the role it played in ancient Egyptian religious life.
