Luxor Valley of the Queens Day Trip from Hurghada

Luxor is often described as one of the greatest open-air museums in the world, and this Luxor day trip from Hurghada lets you see its highlights in a single day. A professional Egyptologist guide travels with you in air-conditioned transport and tells the stories of the pharaohs and the queens of Egypt. The trip runs on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and takes around 17 hours in total, so expect an early start and a return to Hurghada in the evening.

In Luxor, once the great capital Thebes, you begin at Karnak Temple, one of the biggest religious complexes ever built, known for its giant columns and sacred lake. You continue to the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, carved into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari, and then visit the Valley of the Queens, the burial place of Egypt’s queens and princes. A photo stop at the Colossi of Memnon and a panoramic drive through the city round off the sightseeing.

Entrance to Karnak, Hatshepsut Temple and the Valley of the Queens is covered, together with lunch at a local restaurant. Drinks with lunch and optional activities are extra, and some tombs need additional tickets. Please remember your passport with your Egyptian visa, plus walking shoes, sunglasses, sunscreen and a hat.
