Hurghada: Luxor Valley of the Kings & Tutankhamun Tomb Trip

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…”

“Amazing experience, I highly recommend. Worth booking for the first day in Luxor to accommodate any weather disruption. Abdo provided all the information in advance via WhatsApp. We were picked up from our hotel on time and then got a boat across the Nile to the West Bank, before driving to the launch site. The boat trip was unexpected but added to the experience. We took off just after sunrise, in the 2nd or 3rd wave of balloons, but this gave us better photos with the other balloons in front of us. The launch site is busy but the ground team worked very efficiently, it felt well controlled and the…”
