Overnight tour of Luxor's highlights from Hurghada
Overview
Join this 2-day tour from Hurghada and discover the highlights of Luxor. Described as one of the world's greatest open-air museums, Luxor is home to many iconic jewels like Karnak Temple, the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple and Luxor Temple with the amazing Sphinx Avenue.
Day one: you'll start your journey with a drive towards Luxor along the Red Sea coast and through the Eastern Desert until reaching the Nile Valley. After an approximately four-hour drive, you'll stop at the impressive Karnak Temple, a sprawling complex of towering temples, followed by Luxor Temple with the Sphinx Avenue. You'll have time to rest your legs and tuck into lunch before you check in at Hotel Steigenberger or Iberotel Luxor. In the evening, you'll enjoy the sound and light show at Karnak temple, recounting the history of Thebes and the lives of the pharaohs who built sanctuaries, courts, statues, and obelisks in honor of Amun. Back to the hotel in Luxor for dinner and overnight.
Day two: check out from the hotel and drive towards Luxor West Bank to visit the Valley of the Kings. You'll enter three of its 63 royal tombs and take in the ancient Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut and Colossi of Memnon, two monumental statues of equally monumental size. Next, you'll experience the Nile onboard a felucca, sailing from Luxor West Bank to East Bank towards the hotel. A motorboat is an alternative during windy days. Enjoy a delicious set-menu lunch at the hotel and drive back to Hurghada.
