What to expect

Begin your adventure with an early morning pickup from your hotel in Hurghada and travel in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle to the historic city of Luxor, often referred to as the world's greatest open-air museum. Your first stop takes you to the legendary Valley of the Kings, the royal burial site of Egypt's New Kingdom pharaohs. Explore one of the most important archaeological areas in the world and learn about the fascinating history behind the tombs of ancient rulers. Continue to the impressive Temple of Hatshepsut, one of Egypt's most extraordinary monuments. Dedicated to the only female pharaoh to rule ancient Egypt, the temple stands dramatically against the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari and showcases remarkable architecture and ancient artwork. Next, visit the famous Colossi of Memnon, two massive stone statues that have guarded the Theban Necropolis for thousands of years. Capture memorable photos while learning about their historical significance. Cross the Nile River and enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant before heading to the magnificent Karnak Temple Complex. This vast religious site is one of the largest temple complexes ever built and features towering columns, sacred chapels, impressive hieroglyphics, and the famous Avenue of Sphinxes.
