Day Tour to Luxor from Hurghada

You will be picked up in the morning from your Hurghada hotel and driven to Luxor in an air-conditioned car to thoroughly explore:

Valley of the Kings

The greatest kings and queens of Egypt’s new monarchy used the Valley of the Kings as a gateway to paradise (1570-1070 BC). Ramses II, Amenhotep I, Hatshepsut, and Tutankhamun’s bones are among the 63 tombs in the valley that are home to remarkable antiques, statues, treasures, and decorations. In 1979, UNESCO designated the Valley of the Kings as a World Heritage site.

Hatshepsut Temple

The Hatshepsut Temple, which dates back to 1479 BC, is a vision of the paradise known as Djeser-Djeseru, or “Holy of Holies,” and it represents idealism, allure, and power for one of the most successful pharaohs in Egyptian history, Queen Hatshepsut. It was made in homage to Hatshepsut’s outstanding heritage and to the creator deity Amun. Based on the new kingdom’s Classical Architecture, the temple’s architecture is hypnotizingly beautiful.

Colossi of Memnon

The Colossi of Memnon are two pieces of quartzite sandstone that are each 720 tonnes in weight and stand 18 meters (60 feet) tall, resembling Pharaoh Amenhotep III (1386–1350), who traveled from Cairo to Luxor to serve as the city’s defender. The colossi were damaged by an earthquake in 27 BC, rebuilt in 199 AD, and made renowned by the Vocal Memnon phenomena in the Greco-Roman era.

You will then have your lunch before heading to:

Karnak Temple

When the more than 4000-year-old Karnak Temple was built, it was known as Ipet-isu The Most Selected of Places & Pr-In House of Amon, the spot where the heavens intervened and encircled it with grandeur and majesty. For more than 1500 years, it has been one of the largest sacred buildings ever built by humans. It has served as a place of worship for many different gods, including Osiris, Ptah, and Isis, but was predominantly devoted to the Theban triad, which was made up of Amun, Mut, and Khnsou.

Your Hurghada to Luxor day trip will come to an end when you take a private air-conditioned car back to your Hurghada hotel.
