Private Luxor Day Trip from Hurghada with Guide and Lunch

Travel from Hurghada to Luxor on a private full-day tour covering four of the city’s most important ancient sites: Karnak Temple, the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut, and the Colossi of Memnon. Your booking includes private hotel pickup and drop-off, air-conditioned transportation, an Egyptologist guide, entrance tickets to the listed attractions, and lunch at a local restaurant. With only your group participating, the tour provides more personal attention and a more comfortable alternative to a shared coach excursion.

1. 1

   The Karnak Temple

   2 hours

   Meet your Egyptologist guide and explore Karnak Temple, one of Luxor’s most extensive archaeological complexes. Walk through the temple grounds and see the monumental gateways, obelisks, courtyards, and the columns of the Great Hypostyle Hall while your guide explains how the complex developed under successive pharaohs.

2. 2

   Valley of the Kings

   2 hours

   Continue to Luxor’s West Bank and visit the Valley of the Kings, the royal burial ground of New Kingdom pharaohs. The standard entrance ticket normally permits entry to a selection of open tombs. Tomb availability can change because the archaeological authorities rotate access for conservation and operational reasons. Special-entry tombs, including the Tomb of Tutankhamun when available, are not included unless specifically added to your booking.

3. 3

   Temple of Hatshepsut

   1.5 hours

   Visit the terraced mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari. Explore the temple’s courtyards, colonnades, reliefs, and elevated setting beneath the limestone cliffs. Your guide will explain the reign of Hatshepsut and the architectural importance of the complex.

4. 4

   Colossi of Memnon

   15 min

   Stop for photographs at the Colossi of Memnon, two monumental seated statues that once stood at the entrance of the mortuary temple of Amenhotep II

5. 5

   Luxor

   1 hour

   Take a break for lunch at a local restaurant in Luxor. Drinks at the restaurant are not included unless your selected booking option states otherwise.

6. 6

   30 min
