Itinerary
Embark on a full-day adventure from Hurghada to explore some of Egypt’s most iconic ancient wonders. Enjoy convenient hotel pickup and drop-off, and gain deep insights into Egyptian history with the help of a professional Egyptologist guide.
Your journey begins in Luxor, where you’ll visit the breathtaking Temple of Karnak—one of the largest religious complexes in the world. Marvel at its towering columns, sacred statues, and intricate hieroglyphics that tell the story of ancient Egypt.
After exploring Karnak, relax and enjoy lunch at a local restaurant. Then, for those who wish, take a traditional motor boat (optional) across the majestic Nile River to the west bank—an experience that offers a scenic glimpse into rural Egyptian life.
Continue to the legendary Valley of the Kings—home to more than 60 royal tombs carved into the desert hills. Explore the decorated chambers of ancient pharaohs, including the tomb of King Tutankhamun, which still houses his original treasures and golden sarcophagus. Admire the vibrant hieroglyphics that narrate the stories of the afterlife.
Discover the stunning mortuary temple of Hatshepsut, one of ancient Egypt’s few female pharaohs. Built into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari, the temple’s unique design and tranquil setting make it a highlight of the day.
Next, stop to see the mighty Colossi of Memnon—two massive stone statues that once stood guard at the entrance of the Temple of Amenhotep III. These ancient sentinels remain a striking sight, rich in historical significance.
Return to Hurghada. At the end of your unforgettable day, you’ll be transported back to your hotel in Hurghada with memories that will last a lifetime.

About Hurghada
Hurghada is a Red Sea resort town on Egypt's mainland coast, loved for its coral reefs, warm water, desert excursions and easy beach days.
The town stretches along the shore, from the older district of El Dahar with its souk and fish market to the marina at Sakkala and the resort strip to the south. Offshore, the reefs and islands of the Red Sea teem with colourful fish and coral gardens, and dolphins are sometimes seen, making snorkelling and diving the main draws.
