What to expect

This tour is your key to unlocking Egyptian history – and unveiling the eternal story of ancient Luxor, described as one of the world’s greatest open-air museums. The ancient Egyptians built their great monuments based on meticulous engineering and mathematics.

On this semi-private tour for small groups of up to 8 pax, you will experience Luxor’s top treasures including Karnak Temple, the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple plus the giant Colossi of Memnon – all of which you’ll explore in just one day, including a delicious set menu lunch at a 5-star hotel to meet your expectations.

Setting off from Hurghada City and surroundings in Makdai Bay, Soma Bay, Sahl Hashish, El Gouna, Safaga and Kalawy Bay in the early morning through the Red Sea Mountains to Luxor, you’ll stop for breakfast before delving into your first sight – the impressive Karnak Temple, a sprawling complex of towering temples. Next, you’ll have a set menu lunch before heading to the Valley of the Kings by motorboat across the Nile. You’ll get to enter three of its 63 royal tombs. Then, take in the ancient Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, and the staggering Colossi of Memnon. Expect a jam-packed day of temples, tombs, and monuments that sweep you through thousands of years of history.

    This tour exceeded our expectations. The driver Salah and our guide Yasser were excellent and looked after us at all times. Yasser’s knowledge of the history of the sites was extensive and the places we visited were inspiring. Lunch over-looking the Nile was five star and we enjoyed the boat trip across the Nile afterwards. Couldn’t fault anything at all. A fabulous trip.

    Excellent day. Tour guide Adel was very knowledgable and interesting. Drivers were very friendly. Karnak temple is amazing. Only down side was the obligatory visit to a souvenir shop and the inevitable hard sell.

    The guide was excellent, very informative, his knowledge of history was excellent, the included visit to the alabaster factory was not so good, didn't feel like you could look around without being pressured to buy something. Felt very safe on the whole trip, also the drivers were excellent and careful

    Our guide Ahmed was very knowledgeable and friendly. It was the hottest day of the year and Ahmed went above and beyond keeping us all hydrated at his own expense. (We did tip accordingly :) ). The tour itself was amazing, so much to see, nothing felt rushed, lunch was adequate, served properly rather than buffet style. All in all well worth it.
