About this tour
This 15-hour private excursion drives you from Hurghada to Luxor, ancient Egypt's royal heartland, with a Egyptologist guide steering you through four major sites: Luxor Temple, the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut's mortuary temple, and the Colossi of Memnon. You'll travel in a modern air-conditioned vehicle, break for lunch at a local home, and return to your hotel by evening. The tour handles logistics and expertise so you focus on the monuments.

What to expect
An early morning hotel pickup in Hurghada precedes a three-hour drive to Luxor. Your English-speaking Egyptologist meets you there and guides a structured itinerary across both banks of the Nile. The west bank holds the Valley of the Kings (expect tombs, hieroglyphics, descended passages), Hatshepsut's dramatic terraced temple, and the Colossi. The east bank features Luxor Temple's grand forecourts and sanctuaries. Midday, you'll pause for lunch in a residential setting rather than a tourist restaurant. Museum-quality detail marks each stop. By late afternoon, the return journey begins.
Good to know
