Private Day Trip To Luxor From El Gouna
Pick-Up from Hotel in El Gouna
Your adventure begins with a pick-up from your hotel in El Gouna. Departing early in the morning, you’ll travel along the scenic Safaga road, specially designed for tourist vehicles, ensuring both safety and comfort throughout your journey.
Along the way, you will be treated to panoramic views of Egypt’s vast desert landscapes and mountain ranges, passing through the ancient city of Qena before reaching Luxor.
During the journey, you’ll stop at a well-equipped rest area to enjoy a quick breakfast or a cup of coffee, allowing you to relax before continuing your excursion.
Explore Karnak Temple
Your first stop is the majestic Karnak Temple, one of Egypt’s largest and most impressive religious sites. Dedicated to the god Amun-Ra, this colossal temple complex features over 134 towering columns, massive obelisks, and vast hypostyle halls. The highlight of your visit will be the Great Hypostyle Hall, home to towering columns adorned with detailed reliefs depicting ancient rituals, divine kingship, and epic battles.
Your guide will delve into the fascinating history of this sacred site, which was a center of political and religious life for more than 2,000 years.
Lunch by the Nile
After visiting Karnak Temple, you’ll take a tranquil felucca boat ride across the iconic Nile River. This serene ride offers the perfect opportunity to relax and enjoy views of the river’s lush banks and the surrounding landscape.
Once you reach the West Bank of the Nile, you’ll enjoy a delightful lunch at a local restaurant, offering spectacular views of the river. Enjoy authentic Egyptian cuisine as you take in the scenic beauty of the Nile.
Valley of the Kings
Next, you’ll visit the world-renowned Valley of the Kings, an essential archaeological site where the tombs of Egypt’s most powerful pharaohs, including Ramses II, Seti I, and Tutankhamun, are located. With more than 60 tombs carved deep into the desert cliffs, this ancient burial ground is an architectural wonder.
You can visit the tomb of the famous Tutankhamun (for an additional fee), one of the best-preserved tombs in the valley. Your guide will explain the significance of these tombs and the fascinating art and symbols that tell stories of the ancient Egyptian afterlife.
Temple of Hatshepsut
Following your time in the Valley of the Kings, you will head to the Temple of Hatshepsut, an architectural masterpiece dedicated to one of Egypt’s few female pharaohs.
Set against the backdrop of towering cliffs, the temple features magnificent terraces, colonnades, and intricate carvings. The walls of the temple depict scenes from Hatshepsut’s life, including her divine birth and her famous trade expeditions to Punt. Your guide will share the fascinating history behind her rise to power and the symbolic importance of her temple.
Colossi of Memnon
The final stop of the day will be the Colossi of Memnon, two massive statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III. These imposing statues stand proudly amidst the ruins of his mortuary temple.
The Colossi are famous for producing a mysterious sound at dawn, caused by the warming of the stone, which was once believed to be the voice of the king. Take time to marvel at these ancient wonders and learn about their historical significance.
