About This Tour
Explore the ancient capital of Thebes on a private 2-day journey from Hurghada, combining Luxor’s iconic temples, royal tombs, and an atmospheric evening Sound and Light Show.
Day 1: Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple & Sound and Light Show
Travel from Hurghada to Luxor in a private vehicle, enjoying views of the Eastern Desert along the way. Begin your sightseeing at Karnak Temple, one of ancient Egypt’s most remarkable religious complexes. Walk among its monumental columns, towering gateways, and historic courtyards while learning about the pharaohs who expanded the temple over centuries.
Continue to Luxor Temple, an impressive monument on the East Bank of the Nile, known for its grand entrance, statues, and ancient architectural details.
In the evening, experience the Sound and Light Show at Karnak, where narration, lighting, and dramatic effects bring the temple’s history to life after dark. Afterwards, check in to your hotel in Luxor and relax overnight.
Day 2: Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple & Colossi of Memnon
After breakfast, explore Luxor’s West Bank, beginning with the Valley of the Kings, the royal burial ground of many New Kingdom pharaohs. Discover the decorated tombs and learn about ancient Egyptian beliefs surrounding death and the afterlife. The number of tombs accessible depends on the entrance ticket and any site restrictions.
Next, visit the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari, a striking mortuary temple built into the cliffs and dedicated to one of Egypt’s most notable female rulers.
Finish your West Bank sightseeing with a stop at the Colossi of Memnon, two monumental statues that have stood for centuries near the remains of the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III.
After exploring Luxor’s ancient heritage, travel back to Hurghada in your private vehicle.
