Experience the wonders of Luxor on a private full-day tour from Hurghada. This immersive journey will take you through the rich history and iconic landmarks of this ancient Egyptian city. Here's what you can expect on your private full-day tour:
Departure from Hurghada: Your tour will begin with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Hurghada. A private vehicle will transport you to Luxor, ensuring a comfortable and hassle-free journey.
Our journey begins with a visit to the awe-inspiring Temple of Karnak, located in Karnak, Luxor, Egypt. This monumental temple complex holds the distinction of being the largest place of worship ever constructed. Known in antiquity as "Ipet-isut," which translates to 'The Most Sacred of Places,' this temple was painstakingly built over a span of more than two thousand years by successive generations of Pharaohs. One of its most remarkable features is the magnificent 'Hypostyle Hall,' a sprawling forest of colossal pillars that is truly a sight to behold. We will immerse ourselves in the grandeur of this ancient site during a two-hour exploration.
Our next stop takes us to the West Bank of the Nile River in Luxor, where we'll encounter the colossal Colossi of Memnon. These two enormous statues of Amenhotep III stand as iconic symbols of ancient Egyptian art and history. We'll have a brief but captivating 30-minute visit to marvel at their grandeur.
Journey into the heart of ancient Egyptian history as we explore the Valley of the Kings. Here, you'll have the opportunity to enter three richly decorated tombs, each filled with treasures intended for the afterlife of the pharaohs.
Our final destination for the day is the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari. While we will primarily admire this impressive temple from the outside, you also have the option to enter by purchasing tickets. This remarkable temple was dedicated to Queen Hatshepsut, the only female Pharaoh in history. It emerges gracefully from the desert plain, constructed in a series of terraces that blend harmoniously with the sheer limestone cliffs. It's a testament to the architectural prowess of ancient Egypt.
Return to Hurghada: After a full day of exploration, we'll make our way back to Hurghada in the comfort of your private vehicle, ensuring a safe and comfortable journey.
