Day trip to Luxor Valley of Kings from Hurghada - Highlights

Tour Length : 1 Day Trip
Tour Type : Private Tours
Tour Schedule : Daily Departure

You will be picked up from your hotel in Hurghada by air-conditioned van to drive to Luxor Egypt, where you will be accompanied by your Egyptologist guide to visit Karnak Temple, a site often referred to as the greatest and the biggest outdoor museum in the world. Cross over the Rive Nile to the West Bank and drive through lush farmland and sugar cane plantations to edge of the desert where you will find the tombs of the pharaohs in the Valley of the Kings. Cut directly into the mountains, the tombs were filled with treasures beyond comprehension and covered in beautiful painted hieroglyphics depicting the life of the king they housed such as tomb of King Tutmosis I, tomb of Tutmosis III, tom ok king Tutankhamon, King Ramses VI, King Mrenptah and Amonhotep II. Your guide will bring the stories to life as you explore the tombs at the famous Valley of Kings before continuing to the impressive mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut. Architecturally stunning, this temple would not look out of place with modern buildings and contains beautiful murals on its inner walls. On your return to Luxor's East Bank, there is a photo opportunity at the Colossi of Memnon, two gigantic statues that stand proudly, yet virtually alone at the entrance to what was Amenhotep III's mortuary temple. After lunch is served in a local restaurant in Luxor, continue to the hugely impressive Temple of Karnak. An amazing feat of ancient Egyptian engineering, the complex comprises three temples and took several generations to complete. The centerpiece is undoubtedly the Temple of Amun-Ra, the largest surviving column-supported temple in the World although the hypostyle hall containing 134 free standing columns is also world renowned and the backdrop for several Hollywood films. Free time in Luxor for shopping, then you will be transferred back to Hurghada with direct transfer to your hotel in Hurghada for overnight stay.
