Day 01
Hurghada to Luxor's West and East Bank Highlights
- Pick up by your Egyptologist tour guide from your Hurghada hotel at 5:30 am in a spacious air-conditioned minivan before beginning your 4-hour journey to Luxor.
- Upon arrival in Luxor, proceed directly to Luxor's West Bank to visit the first stop on the tour, the Colossi of Memnon.
- Next, head to the Valley of the Kings, where you will visit three included tombs. Extra tombs require additional tickets, which you can obtain from the ticket office at the entrance. Not all tombs are open at the same time; they open in rotation to preserve them for future generations, so check availability with your guide.
- Then, continue to the Funeral Temple of Hatshepsut.
- Afterwards, cross the river to Luxor's East Bank, where you can relax at a local Luxor hotel to refresh yourself and enjoy a buffet lunch.
- When lunch is over, visit Karnak Temple.
- See Luxor Temple from the outside.
- Before beginning your trip back to your hotel in Hurghada, you will have a chance to visit the Luxor Bazaar shopping area for souvenirs and local goods from Luxor.
