Itinerary

  1. Hurghada

    4 hours

    Take a day trip from Hurghada to some of Egypt's most beautiful historical sites. Enjoy free pick-up and drop-off and the services of an Egyptologist as you explore the ancient sites.

  2. The Karnak Temple

    1 h 30 min Admission included

    Journey into the awe-inspiring Temple of Karnak in Luxor—the largest religious complex ever constructed in the ancient world.

    Primarily dedicated to the Theban triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu, Karnak stands as a monumental testament to more than 2,000 years of continuous construction, expansion, and devotion.

    Visitors can wander through the legendary Great Hypostyle Hall, a forest of 134 colossal columns soaring skyward, and explore sacred lakes, towering obelisks, ceremonial gateways, and intricately carved reliefs that bring ancient rituals and myths to life. Every corner of this sprawling complex reveals layers of history and artistry unmatched anywhere in Egypt.

    A true masterpiece of ancient engineering, the Temple of Karnak is a must-see for history enthusiasts and an unforgettable highlight of any Luxor journey.

  3. Luxor

    one hour

    Relax over lunch at a local restaurant, then take a traditional Egyptian motor boat, to cross over the Nile River to the opposite bank (optional).

  4. Colossi of Memnon

    10 min

    Standing tall on the west bank of the Nile, the "Colossi of Memnon" are two massive stone statues that have watched over the ancient city of Thebes for more than 3,400 years. These iconic monuments represent "Pharaoh Amenhotep III", and originally stood at the entrance of his long-lost mortuary temple.

    Each statue rises over 18 meters (60 feet) high, carved from single blocks of sandstone brought from quarries near Cairo—an astonishing feat of engineering in the ancient world. Despite centuries of weathering, earthquakes, and erosion, the Colossi remain a powerful symbol of Egypt’s grandeur.

    Steeped in myth and mystery, one of the statues was said to "sing" at dawn during the Roman era, drawing visitors from across the empire. Today, the site is a must-see stop on any West Bank tour of Luxor, often visited alongside the "Valley of the Kings" and the "Temple of Hatshepsut".

  5. Temple of Hatshepsut

    45 min Admission included

    Carved into the cliffs of the Theban mountains, this architectural masterpiece stands as a timeless tribute to one of Egypt’s most remarkable rulers – "Queen Hatshepsut", the first great female pharaoh.

    With its grand terraces, colonnaded halls, and perfect symmetry, the temple blends harmoniously into the surrounding landscape. As you walk through its levels, you'll encounter beautifully preserved reliefs and inscriptions that depict Hatshepsut’s divine birth, her successful trade expeditions to the Land of Punt, and her reign of peace and prosperity.

    More than just a temple, this site tells the story of ambition, political power, and divine legacy. Its design was ahead of its time, influencing generations of Egyptian architecture, and it continues to awe visitors with its scale and elegance.

    "Temple of Hatshepsut" is a must-see destination for travelers seeking to uncover the depth and sophistication of ancient Egyptian civilization.

  6. Valley of the Kings

    2 hours Admission included

    Step into the heart of ancient Egyptian civilization with a visit to the legendary "Valley of the Kings in Luxor", where the secrets of the pharaohs await. Hidden in the Theban hills on the west bank of the Nile, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is home to over 60 royal tombs carved deep into the desert rock.

    Explore the final resting places of Egypt’s most iconic rulers, , surrounded by vivid wall paintings, intricate hieroglyphs, and sacred symbols that have withstood the test of time. Each tomb reveals stories of power, spiritual beliefs, and the afterlife, offering a rare glimpse into the world of the New Kingdom's elite.

    The Valley of the Kings is more than just a burial ground—it’s a powerful testament to the architectural brilliance and religious devotion of the ancient Egyptians. Walking through these ancient corridors, you’ll feel the deep connection between history, myth, and monumental artistry.
