Highlights
  • Valley of the Kings - Begin your journey with a 6:00 am pickup from your hotel in a private, air-conditioned taxi, arriving in Luxor around 9:30 am. Cross the Nile to explore some of the most stunning highlights of Luxor’s renowned West Bank with your private tour guide. Your first stop is the Valley of the Kings, where you’ll visit three tombs. If you wish to see the tomb of the young Pharaoh Tutankhamun, it will cost an additional 200 Egyptian Pounds.
  • Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari - The Temple of Hatshepsut is one of the most beautiful and well-preserved temples of Ancient Egypt in Luxor. Built on three levels with two wide ramps connecting the levels, the temple rises from the desert plain in a series of terraces. It merges seamlessly with the sheer limestone cliffs of the eastern face of the Theban Mountain, as if nature itself constructed this extraordinary monument.
  • Colossi of Memnon - The Colossi of Memnon are two massive stone statues of King Amenhotep III, the only remnants of a once complete mortuary temple. Made from blocks of quartzite sandstone transported 700 km from Cairo to Luxor, these statues stand about 18 meters high. They are the remains of what was once the largest complex on the West Bank, built by Amenhotep III. Around noon, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant in Luxor before visiting the Temple of Karnak, the largest ancient religious site known in the world.
  • Temple of Karnak - Your visit to the Temple of Karnak, the largest ancient religious site known globally, will be followed by an optional late afternoon tour in a traditional felucca. This is the perfect way to relax while observing traditional rural life along the riverbank. If you finish early, you may have time for some souvenir shopping in Luxor’s vast souq or take a leisurely stroll around central Luxor. At 5:30 pm, your private car will pick you up to return to Marsa Alam, arriving back at your hotel by 9:00 pm. If you wish to make any changes to the itinerary, such as visiting Luxor Temple instead of Karnak or spending more time in the souq, we will be happy to accommodate your preferences where possible.

Note: The remaining time is for the round trip and the time spent between attractions.

We We joyed our time. It was awesome. - Great time on a one-day day trip from Cairo. They picked us up in our Airbnb in Cairo, took us to the airport, the driver of a great air-conditioned vehicle picked us up in Luxor, toured its all around, dropped us back at the airport after dinner, and a driver picked us back up in the Cairo airport and got us home. Long day, but we were grateful for the adventure. Only the included buffet lunch was sub-par. Glad we insisted on the feluca boat instead of the motorboat, it was the highlight of the trip, in addition to seeing the astounding sites at Luxor. Be prepared for everything to cost extra money… water, bathrooms, king Tut’s mummy

Wow fantastic we really had a fabulous time - We have been picked up by Hussein at 4 am who was our driver for the trip to Luxor and the story says that he is the “Egiptian Schumacher”. At our arrival in Luxor we met Hoda as our guide. She will make sure you have the best time and make you feel welcome in addition to be the best possible guide you can have. Both we're very friendly and we soon became acquainted as friends. The trip itself was very adventurous, very informative, and fun! Hussein and Hoda did everything to make us feel at ease. Honesty is important, they knew where to go, where to buy, and what to pay. During our return to El Quseir we have been in the company as well of Khalid who was our second driver with whom we had a great talk and discovered he is as well a guide in Luxor and one of the oldest employees of Marsa Alam Tour. Thank you for showing us the highlights of South Egypt and for treating us as friends! We enjoyed ourselves and it was worth it. We will see you next time and ready for the upcoming trips with you! :)
