private trip to Luxor Overnight
Day 1 – Discover the Highlights of Luxor
Your adventure begins with an early-morning pickup from the reception of your hotel reception in Hurghada. Travel comfortably along the Nile and through the beautiful towns and villages of Upper Egypt, with short breaks along the way.
Your first stop is Karnak Temple, one of the largest and most impressive ancient temple complexes in the world. Explore its magnificent entrance, monumental pylons, the Avenue of the Ram-Headed Sphinxes, the Great Hypostyle Hall with its enormous columns, ancient chapels, statues, hieroglyphics, and beautifully preserved reliefs.
Continue to the Colossi of Memnon, two massive statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III that have stood for more than 3,000 years. They once guarded the entrance to his vast mortuary temple.
Next, visit the legendary Valley of the Kings, where ancient Egyptian pharaohs and powerful nobles were buried for centuries. Enter some of the fascinating royal tombs and admire their colorful wall paintings, hieroglyphics, and ancient decorations.
After lunch, continue to the magnificent Temple of Queen Hatshepsut. Built into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari, this extraordinary temple reflects the story of one of ancient Egypt’s most remarkable female rulers. Discover its impressive terraces, colonnades, statues, reliefs, and beautifully preserved details.
After the sightseeing program, check in to your location in Luxor and enjoy some time to relax.
In the evening, you have the opportunity to attend the spectacular Sound & Light Show at Karnak Temple. Travel back through the history of ancient Thebes while the illuminated temple and dramatic narration bring the world of the pharaohs to life. Available at an additional charge.
Day 2 – Medinet Habu & Nile Experience
Start your second day with an unforgettable optional experience: a hot air balloon ride over Luxor.
Before sunrise, take to the skies and enjoy breathtaking views over the Nile, ancient temples, green fields, and the surrounding desert. Watching Luxor wake up from above is a truly unforgettable experience. Available at an additional charge and subject to weather conditions.
After breakfast at the hotel, visit Medinet Habu Temple, the magnificent mortuary temple of Pharaoh Ramses III. Admire its monumental pylons, colossal statues, detailed reliefs, and beautifully preserved decorations. The temple’s walls depict important events from the reign of Ramses III, including his military victories and battles against the Sea Peoples.
To complete your Luxor experience, enjoy an optional boat trip on the Nile with a visit to Banana Island. The island gets its name from the large number of banana trees growing there. Relax, enjoy the scenery, and experience the peaceful atmosphere of the Nile. Available at an additional charge.
