Luxor Day Trip Itinerary
Your Luxor day trip begins with an early morning pickup from your Hurghada hotel. You’ll be driven in a private, air-conditioned vehicle to Hurghada International Airport for a short domestic flight to Luxor.
Upon arrival at Luxor International Airport, your expert Egyptologist guide will greet you, holding a sign with your name. From here, you’ll immediately begin your exploration of the legendary West Bank.
Journey to the Valley of the Kings
Your first stop is the magnificent Valley of the Kings, the second most visited site in all of Egypt. This royal necropolis is the final resting place for pharaohs of the New Kingdom‘s 18th, 19th, and 20th dynasties, including the famous King Tutankhamun.
Your entry ticket grants you access to three of the 62 incredible tombs carved deep into the desert rock. You’ll have the chance to explore tombs belonging to pharaohs such as Ramses IV, Ramses III, Merenptah, Ramses IX, or Tausret.
Inside the tombs, you’ll be awestruck by the vibrant wall paintings that have survived for millennia. Your guide will explain the rich mythology and religious texts depicted on the walls, including scenes from the Book of the Day, the Book of the Night, the Book of the Amduat, and the Book of the Holy Cow. These texts were meant to guide the pharaohs on their perilous journey through the afterlife. You’ll see the intricate rituals, such as the Opening of the Mouth ceremony, that were believed to ensure their successful resurrection.
Mortuary temple of Hatshepsut
After visiting the magnificent tombs of the Valley of the Kings, your tour continues to the nearby Temple of Hatshepsut in Deir el-Bahari. This spectacular mortuary temple stands out for its unique, modern-looking architecture. Moreover, its design predates the classical temples of the era.
Your guide will guide you through this architectural masterpiece, which was reconstructed over 40 years by Polish archaeologists. The temple is famous for its elegant three-tiered design and its location. It is nestled against the dramatic limestone cliffs, near the temples of Pharaohs Mentuhotep II Nebhepetre and Thutmose III.
Inside, you’ll discover a wealth of detailed and beautiful scenes. Your guide will highlight the temple’s important chambers, including the Chapel of Hathor and the Chapel of Anubis, as well as the sacred Holy of Holies of Amun.
The reliefs are unique and incredibly well-preserved, showcasing the famous Punt Expedition, which details Hatshepsut’s trade mission to the land of Punt. Also, you will see the Divine Birth scenes, which were used to legitimize her rule as a female pharaoh. As well as the process of transporting the obelisks from Aswan to the Karnak Temple. Finally, you will find intriguing depictions of daily life, including scenes of agriculture and harvest.
Colossi of Memnon
The tour of the West Bank concludes with a stop at the monumental Colossi of Memnon. These two colossal stone statues once stood as powerful guardians at the entrance of the mortuary temple of Pharaoh Amenhotep III. Although the temple has long since vanished, the statues remain, a silent and awe-inspiring testament to the grandeur of an ancient Egyptian civilization.
