Tour Overview

A day trip to Luxor is rewarding but rushed; with a night in town it becomes a pleasure. On the first day you visit Karnak and Luxor Temple and have the evening free on the Corniche. Early next morning you can add a balloon flight before the West Bank – the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut and the Colossi – and the drive back to Hurghada.

Tour Highlights

Karnak Temple

The largest religious complex ever built grew over 2,000 years. Walk through the Great Hypostyle Hall, a forest of 134 giant columns, and stand beside the obelisk of Queen Hatshepsut.

Valley of the Kings

Hidden in the Theban hills, the royal necropolis holds more than sixty tombs. Your ticket covers three of them, with colours that still look freshly painted; Tutankhamun’s tomb can be added.

Hot-Air Balloon over Luxor

Float above the West Bank as the sun lifts over the Nile, with temples, villages and sugar-cane fields spread out below. A once-in-a-lifetime way to see ancient Thebes.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a visa for Egypt?

Most nationalities can buy a 30-day visa on arrival at Cairo airport for US$25, or apply online for an e-visa before travelling. Our representative meets you before passport control and helps with the process.

When is the best time to visit Egypt?

October to April is the most comfortable season for sightseeing, with sunny days around 20–28°C. Summer is hot in Luxor and Aswan but perfect for the Red Sea, and we adjust touring hours to early mornings.

Are your tours private?

Yes. Unless a tour is marked as a small-group departure, you travel only with your own party, with a private guide and air-conditioned vehicle.

Can I change an itinerary?

Every itinerary is a starting point. Add days, swap hotels, include a balloon ride or a beach stay – tell us what you would like and we will send an updated plan and price.

How do I book and pay?
