Overview

Embark on an epic journey with our “Al Gouna to Luxor: Day Tour to the Heart of Ancient Egypt.” After a warm welcome, settle into our most comfortable, finest-equipped vehicles for the approximately four-hour ride to Luxor, situated around 350 kilometers away.

Our adventure begins with a visit to the awe-inspiring Luxor Temple, a masterpiece constructed during the reign of the 18th and the 19th dynasties from the 22nd and the 23rd centuries BC. Linked to the Karnak Temple, located two kilometers away, Luxor Temple stands as one of the finest ancient Egyptian temples.

Next, we explore the monumental Temple of Karnak, an architectural marvel constructed over a period exceeding 1300 years. With its vast surface area and imposing structures, Karnak Temple reigns as the largest and greatest Pharaonic monument in Egypt.

Prepare to be amazed as we venture into the legendary Valley of the Kings, where your visit includes exploration of three tombs. This royal necropolis of the Kings of the New Kingdom boasts enduring colors, paintings, and decorations, preserving the legacy of ancient Egypt’s rulers, including the renowned tomb of Tutankhamun.

Our journey continues with a stop at the Colossi of Memnon, remnants of the grand mortuary temple of Amenhotep III. Named by the Greeks during the Roman era, one of the statues earned its moniker due to its unique characteristic of emitting a hum when the wind passed through its holes.

The grand finale of our day tour takes us to the exquisite Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, one of ancient Egypt’s most captivating mortuary temples. Built during the reign of the 19th dynasty, this architectural marvel features marvelous terraced designs, chapels dedicated to Hathor and Anubis, and impressive statues honoring the queen’s legacy.
