1.Luxor Valley of the Kings & Tutankhamun Tomb Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 13,208 reviews · from $76Our pick

Travel from Hurghada to Luxor by air-conditioned van for a full day of ancient Egyptian sights. Visit Karnak Temple, the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut’s Temple, and the Colossi of Memnon with a guide such as Nana, Doa, or Shaban. Lunch, water, snacks, and hotel transfers are included, while the Nile boat ride and Tutankhamun’s tomb may cost extra.

“Fantastic day! Very well organised and our guide Nana was excellent! It is a very very long day but worth it. Please beware of the heat!! It was 40* and so intense, make sure you have sunscreen and a fan! We were provided with cold bottles of water throughout and even treated to a lolly ice which was nice. It was cheaper to book without Tutankhamun tomb and pay for it once there, about £11 each. If you want to take the boat across the Nile to get to the restaurant for lunch it is an additional $10 each but it was worth it for the experience. I would recommend…”

“The day was amazing, everything we could have hoped for, it was a great experience we will never forget! Everyone was super helpful and friendly especially Emad he was the best! We think the only room for improvement really would be that the groups be smaller, and easier to manage and organise especially since there were so many different languages to manage which led to delays and waiting while everyone was briefed and sent to the right places but other than that we thoroughly enjoyed the experience!”
