Private Day Tour To Luxor From El Quseir
Pick-Up from Hotel in El Quseir
Your adventure begins with an early morning pick-up from your hotel in El Quseir. You’ll travel along the scenic Safaga road, specifically designed for tourist vehicles, ensuring a smooth and secure journey. Along the way, enjoy panoramic views of Egypt’s vast desert landscapes and towering mountains as you pass through the ancient city of Qena, before arriving in the historic city of Luxor.
Â
During the journey, you’ll make a brief stop at a well-equipped rest area to enjoy a light breakfast or coffee, allowing you to refresh and prepare for the day ahead.
Explore Karnak Temple
The first stop is the awe-inspiring Karnak Temple, one of Egypt’s largest and most impressive religious sites. Dedicated to the god Amun-Ra, this vast temple complex is home to over 134 massive columns, towering obelisks, and incredible hypostyle halls. The Great Hypostyle Hall, with its towering columns and detailed reliefs, is a highlight of the temple. Your guide will walk you through the fascinating history of this monumental site, which served as the center of Egypt’s political and religious life for more than 2,000 years.
Lunch by the Nile
After exploring Karnak Temple, you’ll enjoy a peaceful felucca boat ride across the Nile River, allowing you to relax while taking in the stunning views. Upon reaching the West Bank, you’ll enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant overlooking the river, offering authentic Egyptian cuisine in a serene setting.
Valley of the Kings
Next, you’ll visit the world-famous Valley of the Kings, an essential archaeological site in Luxor. This ancient burial ground is home to the tombs of Egypt’s most iconic pharaohs, including Ramses II, Seti I, and Tutankhamun. The valley contains over 60 tombs, cut into the desert cliffs, and serves as a testament to ancient Egyptian burial practices and beliefs. For an additional fee, you can visit the tomb of Tutankhamun, one of the most famous and well-preserved tombs in the valley. Your guide will provide insights into the artwork and rituals associated with the Egyptian afterlife.
Temple of Hatshepsut
Following your visit to the Valley of the Kings, you’ll head to the Temple of Hatshepsut, one of Egypt’s most remarkable architectural feats. This stunning temple, built for one of the few female pharaohs, Queen Hatshepsut, is carved into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari. The temple is known for its impressive terraces and colonnades, which blend harmoniously with the natural landscape. The walls of the temple depict scenes from Hatshepsut’s reign, including her divine birth and her famous trade expeditions to the land of Punt. Your guide will explain the significance of her reign and the temple’s architectural brilliance.
Colossi of Memnon
The last stop of your tour will be the Colossi of Memnon, two massive statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III. Although the rest of his mortuary temple has crumbled, these towering statues stand as silent sentinels. The Colossi are famous for the mysterious sounds they produce at dawn, a natural phenomenon caused by the warming of the stone. Ancient Egyptians believed this sound was the voice of the king. Take some time to admire these incredible statues and learn about their historical importance.
Return to your hotel in El Quseir
After an unforgettable day exploring the wonders of Luxor, you’ll begin your return journey to El Quseir. On the way back, enjoy the scenic route and reflect on the incredible sights and experiences of the day. Once you arrive in El Quseir, you’ll be dropped off at your hotel, where you can relax and reminisce about the historical treasures you’ve encountered.
