Hurghada to Luxor Overday Trip: Kings Valley & Karnak with Lunch

Start your unforgettable adventure with an early pickup from your Hurghada hotel in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. Enjoy the scenic drive through the Eastern Desert on your way to Luxor, the world’s greatest open-air museum (approximately 4–5 hours).

Explore the awe-inspiring Temple of Karnak, the largest religious complex ever built in ancient Egypt. Dedicated mainly to the god Amun-Ra, this vast site showcases towering columns, colossal statues, sacred lakes, and intricately carved hieroglyphs that bring 4,000 years of history to life. Walk through the impressive Hypostyle Hall, with its 134 giant columns, and feel the grandeur of a place where pharaohs once worshiped and celebrated their power. A visit to Karnak is truly a journey through the heart of ancient Egyptian civilization.

Discover the magnificent Luxor Temple, a masterpiece of ancient Egyptian architecture located in the heart of modern Luxor. Built by Amenhotep III and later expanded by Ramses II, this stunning temple was dedicated to the rejuvenation of kingship and the worship of the god Amun-Ra. Stroll along its grand avenue of sphinxes, admire towering statues and intricate hieroglyphs, and feel the harmony between history and beauty. Illuminated at night, the temple offers one of the most magical sights in Egypt — a timeless symbol of Thebes’ glory.

Step into the legendary Valley of the Kings, the sacred burial ground of Egypt’s greatest pharaohs from the New Kingdom era. Nestled in the cliffs of Luxor’s West Bank, this valley holds more than 60 royal tombs, including that of Tutankhamun. Wander through beautifully decorated chambers adorned with vivid hieroglyphs and colorful scenes depicting the pharaohs’ journey to the afterlife. Each tomb tells a story of power, faith, and the eternal quest for immortality—making this site one of Egypt’s most awe-inspiring ancient wonders.

The Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari is a stunning ancient Egyptian temple on Luxor's west bank, known for its unique architecture carved into cliffs and its historical significance. Built during the 18th Dynasty by Queen Hatshepsut and designed by Senenmut, it served as both a mortuary temple for the pharaoh and a sanctuary for the god Amun Ra. The temple's three grand terraces are connected by ramps and feature reliefs telling stories of Hatshepsut's divine birth and the expedition to the Land of Punt.
