Explore the legendary Valley of the Kings, the royal burial ground of Egypt’s New Kingdom pharaohs located on the west bank of the Nile near Luxor. Hidden within the desert mountains, this remarkable archaeological site contains more than 60 tombs carved deep into the rock and decorated with vibrant wall paintings and ancient hieroglyphs that illustrate the journey to the afterlife. The valley is also famous for the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922. Visiting the Valley of the Kings offers a fascinating insight into the power, beliefs, and artistic achievements of ancient Egyptian civilization.
Visit the magnificent Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, one of the most impressive temples in Egypt. Built for the powerful female pharaoh Hatshepsut, this unique temple is located on the west bank of the Nile near Luxor and is famous for its striking terraces carved into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari. The temple showcases beautiful reliefs and inscriptions that tell the story of Hatshepsut’s reign, including her famous trading expedition to the Land of Punt. Surrounded by dramatic desert landscapes, the temple stands as a remarkable example of ancient Egyptian architecture and one of the most iconic historical sites in Luxor.
Visit the impressive Colossi of Memnon, two massive stone statues that have stood on the west bank of the Nile for more than 3,400 years near Luxor. These towering statues represent the powerful pharaoh Amenhotep III and once guarded the entrance to his vast mortuary temple. Rising about 18 meters (60 feet) high, the Colossi of Memnon are among the most photographed landmarks in Luxor. Despite centuries of floods and earthquakes, the statues remain an impressive reminder of the grandeur of ancient Egypt and offer visitors a fascinating glimpse into the country’s rich history and architectural achievements.
Discover the magnificent Karnak Temple Complex, one of the largest and most impressive religious sites ever built in the ancient world. Located in Luxor, this vast temple complex was developed over more than 2,000 years by successive pharaohs. Dedicated mainly to the god Amun, Karnak features towering pylons, massive columns, and beautifully carved reliefs. Visitors can explore the famous Great Hypostyle Hall with its forest of gigantic columns and walk along the sacred avenue once used in ancient religious processions. Karnak Temple stands today as one of Egypt’s most extraordinary archaeological treasures and a symbol of ancient Egyptian power and devotion.

Our full-day private tour from Hurghada to Luxor was a transformative experience that touched our hearts and tantalized our taste buds. The Hurghada lunch was a culinary masterpiece, complementing the awe-inspiring historical sites we explored. An extraordinary journey that left us craving for more adventures in Egypt

This trip exceeded my expectations. Especially Achmed the tour guide. He is an archaeologist who can tell You a lot of things beyond what You see. Extremely knowledgeable and could answer any question I had 👌 Above expectations 👍 I will request him the next time I book a trip in Egypt. If I may give an advice; it says on Tripadvisor that the trip takes 9-12 hours…it took over 15 hours, which means that my plans for the night got cancelled. The tour on itself was fantastic and it should take 15 hours if You go from Hurghada. Would not change a thing. It is worth every minute. All in all a fantastic trip 👍 Thank You 🙏

We are currently in Hurghada and have made a great day trip to Luxor! First I have to say the organization was very good. The transfer arrived on time and the car was new and big enough for us. There in Luxor we were warmly welcomed and looked at sights. It was really nice and we can recommend this with a clear conscience. We had a lot of fun and a great tour!

We had a very informative and enriching glimpse of the breathtaking Luxor with the most professional and friendly egyptologist guide Amr! Amr, himself from Luxor, showed not only true knowledge of the thousands of years of ancient history, but also true love for his native city.

The whole dqy was amazing. Incredibly well organised, superb value for money. The office staff, the driver and our guide Rady were all very helpful and ensured the day was as memorable as possible. Our guide Rady made the day extra special. He's very knowledgable and he educated and amused us all day, especially our two teenage children. Many many thanks team. Rady you're a legend.

We LOVED our trip to Luxor. Our guide, Super Mo as introduced himself to us, was fantastic. The tour information was great and any questions we had, he answered. Each stop was beautiful and we had plenty of time to explore. Lunch was also very good (and vegetarian). The car ride by Michael was very comfortable and he was very friendly pointing out local sights/info on our drive. I’d recommend this tour company for all your Egypt sight seeing. We had a wonderful day and can’t wait to come back. Great Staff. Great Tour. Great Trip!

The absolute best! I’ve been to Luxor from Hurghada before 5 years ago and this was so much better than before. We were picked up from our hotel by our driver Omar. He was on time and made our journey extremely comfortable. AC was on to cool us down and we made stops to allow us to get a drink and use the bathroom. Omar even bought us snacks and drinks for the journey home. A credit to the company. We met our Egyptologist, Rady, at Karnak temple and he stayed with us the whole day. Rady had vast knowledge of everything and pointed out things I’d not seen in my previous trip. He explained things exceptionally well and never made us feel cognitively overloaded. Not only this, it was clear that he had a lot of respect for the sites and their history. He would explain things when we were in the shade or when we were having a rest meaning that we never became too overwhelmed by the heat. At the Valley of the Kings, he knew all the tombs and what you could find in them. This meant that since you get the chance to see three, we got to see the best tombs, so full of vibrant colours and images. Far better than my last visit. What made the trip extraordinary is that Rady knew the times when things get busy. We avoided all of the crowds and got to see the tombs with only us inside. Again, a completely different experience to last time. The whole trip was suited to our needs. We were given options throughout at no extra costs. For example, we got to see the Artisans’ tombs, which were pristine and showed a different side of the history that you usually don’t get to see at the big sites. This again is something I didn’t experience last time and gave a different insight to Ancient Egypt. This was followed by a delicious lunch that we preordered on our way to the venue, meaning that there were no long waits. The journey back was as comfortable as the journey there, thanks to Omar. Much shorter than when I went by coach last time too. An amazing experience all round thanks to the two men looking after us. Thank you. Please don’t get conned by the reps in your hotel. Instead book with this company to have a much better experience cheaper than what the reps were offering.

仕事での Hurghada 滞在の最終日に日帰りで Luxor に行くことにしました。 まず Karnak temple を見学し、オプションで Luxor temple の前からナイル川を西岸に渡り、王家の谷を見学、そして最後は Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut を見学しました。 帰りの飛行機の時間があるので、Luxor 滞在は5時間くらいでしたが、とても濃密で素晴らしい体験ができました。 知識が豊富で分かりやすい説明をしてくれたガイド Rade と、Hurghada とLuxor の間を安全に往復してくれたドライバーの Salah に感謝します。
