Colosses of Memnon

Luxor is not far from Hurghada, hence, you should “sacrifice” one or two days of your beach vacation to have a look at something what you will not forget again. The Valley of the Kings and the Temples of Karnak are still incredibly well-preserved due to the dry climate. Partially one still recognises the colours of the inscriptions, although those are already thousand of years old !
How can one lie in good conscience on the beach, only a few hundred kilometres away from such a miracle?

Book with us an excursion in a mini-tour group (2-6 people)!
No sales events take place, so that you spend your time only with the places of interest in Luxor!

Tour description Hurghada-Luxor 2 days:

At 5.00 o’clock in the morning you are fetched at your hotel in and around the city of Hurghada and go in about 4 hours with a break to Luxor. Your English-speaking tour guide waits there already for you. We recommend to you the following programme:

Visit first the Karnak Temple. It is the biggest temple of the world with a gigantic column hall which has 134 metre-high columns. The columns are still so well-preserved that you can recognise the old inscriptions! With your tour guide you explore the temple arrangements and can take the time that you need. After the sightseeing of the Karnak Temple you eat a tasty Egyptian lunch in a restaurant at the Nile.
Then you should rest a little and let the present impressions sink a little bit in your mind. Check in at the hotel and come along freshly for the evening.

In the evening you are fetched after your individual dinner to the Sound and Lightshow in Karnak Temple. Run with the show by the Karnak Temple. Different areas are illuminated and the life of the Pharaohs from the I-perspective is told over loudspeaker. You cannot experience history in a better way! After the Sound and Lightshow your driver drives you back to the hotel or to the city of Luxor-completely as you desire!
The next day you are fetched at about 9.00 o’clock at the hotel. You go on the western bank side of the Nile. Visit the legendary Valley of the Kings with the marvellous grave paintings which are really like original due to the very dry climate in this area. We would recommend to visit the Temple of Hatshepsut afterwards, but you decide with your tour guide how you create your day. For example, you can have a look at the Temple of Hatshepsut only from the outside and can get explained, why it stands exactly where it stands. Then you still have time to visit the colosses of Memnon or see the Luxor Temple. Or what about the Valley of the Queens as an alternative? However you decide, your private tour guide arranges with pleasure the plan of your excursion as interest-oriented as possible for you!

Trip Hurghada-Luxor 1 day

Temple in Luxor

You should visit Luxor if you make a vacation in Egypt. The ones who are interested more or less in culture, simply must visit Luxor. The historical sites are still very well-preserved, so that one sees not only a few stones and has to add the missing parts in his mind. No, it is not really difficult to imagine how everything looked before thousands of years in the original. Imposing constructions at a time built when there was even no electricity.

If you book with us, experience Luxor privately in a small group of 2-6 people!

No sales events take place, so that you have more time for the places of interest!

Tourdescription Hurghada-Luxor 1 day trip:

Luxor is located only 4 driving hours from Hurghada. According to the group size you travel in a comfortable car or in a clean, air-conditioned microcoach. Chilled soft drinks are available to you all the journey Hurghada-Luxor and back free of charge. At 5.00 o’clock you are fetched at your hotel in the area of Hurghada and you can make a break, whenever you would like to. About 9.00 o’clock you reach Luxor. Your perfectly English speaking tour guide already awaits you there. First of all you visit the famous Karnak Temple.
You visit with your tour guide this temple with nothing but aggregations in God’s presentations which originated in no less than two millenniums. Pester your tour guide with questions and remain as long as you like!

A lot of culture makes hungry and thus a tasty Egyptian lunch is the next point on the program.

After lunch you go with a motorboat across the rive Nile to the other side and then by microcoach to the “Valley of the kings” . As the dead person’s rest should be undisturbed, the old Egyptians tried to protect their graves against grave robbers. After the more than 500-year-old history of the pyramids a king had the idea to hide his grave in the mountains. Many followed him, nevertheless, unfortunately, it has helped nothing. The robbers found the graves.

After the sightseeing of the “Valley of the Kings” you can visit the Hatshepsut temple and can get the explanation from your tour guide, why it is located exactly where it stands. You will be astonished, in which dimensions the people already thought at that time!
In the area of Luxor alabaster stone is diminished. If requested you can visit with pleasure an alabaster factory and find out more about dismantling and processing of this stone.
The return journey to Hurghada is planned at about 18.00 o’clock, so that you are at 22.00 o’clock with miraculous impressions and a lot of new historical knowledge back at your hotel.
