If you have limited time in Egypt, you can still experience the highlights of Luxor with a day trip. Here’s a sample itinerary for a day trip to Luxor:
Program
- Early morning pick-up: Your tour guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel in Hurghada or another nearby city and transport you to Luxor. The drive takes approximately 3 hours, depending on traffic.
- Visit the Valley of the Kings: Once you arrive in Luxor, head straight to the Valley of the Kings. This is the burial site of many pharaohs from the New Kingdom, including Tutankhamun. You can explore several tombs with beautiful wall paintings and hieroglyphics.
- See the Temple of Hatshepsut: Next, visit the Temple of Hatshepsut, one of the most impressive ancient temples in Egypt. The temple was built in honor of Queen Hatshepsut, and the architecture is breathtaking.
- Lunch near the Nile: After touring the temples, enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch at a restaurant near the Nile River.
- Visit the Karnak Temple: In the afternoon, visit the Karnak Temple, one of the largest religious sites in the world. The temple complex includes several temples, chapels, and sacred lakes.
