Day tour to Luxor as a small group

the program

Luxor one day private

On a private day tour to Luxor, you'll get to know the City of Palaces, the former city of the pharaohs. Nowhere in Egypt are witnesses to a glorious past as densely packed as here. As a small village called Wasset, Luxor's history stretches back to 2000 BC. Huge temples and immaculate works of art still bear witness to the grandeur and power of ancient Thebes, the magnificent capital of a bygone empire—both a cultural and economic center.

Luxor excursion to the Valley of the Kings

After crossing the Nile from east to west, you find yourself in the Valley of the Kings. Queen Hatshepsut, who reigned for almost a generation, chose a truly beautiful site for her terraced temple—a masterpiece of its time.

Day trip from Hurghada to Luxor

The fairytale Colossi of Memnon are carved into the mountain massif above the Valley of the Kings. The natural colors of the various wall paintings and reliefs, created 3,000 years ago, are still visible and can be admired for yourself.

Luxor day trip

The day trip to Luxor also includes a visit to the Temple of Karnak. Karnak Temple is by far the largest temple complex in Egypt and the most important place of worship from the pharaonic era. It took over 2,000 years to build. The ram statues, also known as the Avenue of Sphinxes, line up for your viewing. After the first pylon, you'll find the Hypostyle Hall in the vestibule with its 134 columns with relief fittings. Passing standing obelisks, you reach the sanctuary. Next to it is the Sacred Lake, which was used for the ritual ablutions of the priests and for temple utensils.
