Journey from Hurghada to Luxor

Luxor is about 285 km from Hurghada, a scenic four-hour drive through the Red Sea mountains and Upper Egypt’s countryside. Your journey begins early in the morning around 05:00. The first part takes you through desert landscapes, followed by fertile fields and traditional villages along the Nile. This drive itself is a cultural experience, offering a glimpse of authentic Egyptian life.

Valley of the Kings

A highlight of the Luxor day trip is the Valley of the Kings, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. It holds the tombs of pharaohs from the 18th, 19th, and 20th dynasties. The most famous discovery here was the tomb of King Tutankhamun, unearthed by Howard Carter in 1922. Walking through the valley gives you a sense of the mystery and grandeur of ancient Egypt.

Colossi of Memnon

During the tour, you will also stop at the Colossi of Memnon. These two massive statues, each 18 meters tall, depict Pharaoh Amenhotep III. They have stood guard for over 3,400 years, offering visitors a majestic welcome to Luxor’s west bank.
