Day 1: Hurghada - Karnak Temples and Luxor Sightseeing
Begin with a pickup from your hotel in Hurghada and drive to Luxor. Meet your Egyptologist guide and travel in an air-conditioned vehicle to visit the magnificent Karnak Temple, the largest place of worship ever built. Its ancient name, Ipet-isut, means ‘The Most Sacred of Places’.
Explore the complex of temples, built over more than two thousand years by generation after generation of pharaohs. Within the complex, the great ‘Hypostyle Hall’ is an incredible forest of giant pillars. Then, head to Luxor Temple, built by Amenhotep III and Ramses II for rituals and festivals dedicated to the God Amon.
Check in to your 4-star hotel in Luxor, Jolie Ville Kings Island Luxor, and enjoy free time in Luxor. Opt to attend the spectacular Sound and Light Show at Karnak Temple or explore Luxor City and Market. Enjoy an overnight stay in Luxor. Lunch is included at a good quality restaurant in Luxor.
Day 2: Valley of the Kings and Luxor Sightseeing / Hurghada
Enjoy an informative and historical trip to the West Bank of the Nile River in Luxor. Visit the two enormous and impressive Colossi of Memnon, the colossal statues of Amenhotep III. Then, journey into ancient Egyptian history at the Valley of the Kings, where the magnificent tombs were discovered.
These tombs were carved deep into the desert rock, richly decorated, and filled with treasures from the afterlife of the Pharaohs. Visit 3 tombs before continuing to Hatshepsut Temple at El Deir El Bahary. This impressive temple was dedicated to Queen Hatshepsut, a female pharaoh, rising out of the desert plain in a series of terraces and merging with the sheer limestone cliffs.
Enjoy lunch en route and free time. Opt for a tour to Banana Island by felucca ride on the Nile River before being driven back to your hotel in Hurghada.
