Hurghada: Luxor Day Trip with Tutankhamun Tomb, Valley of the Kings & Nile Boat
Sail the Nile, then stand face to face with the golden boy-king Tutankhamun.
Overview
Swap the Red Sea for the Nile on a full day in Luxor, the world's greatest open-air museum. Travelling from Hurghada by air-conditioned minivan, you'll trace ancient Thebes from the temple-city of Karnak to the Valley of the Kings - and sail the Nile itself to Banana Island.
Begin at the colossal Temple of Karnak, walking its hypostyle halls and Sacred Lake with an expert Egyptologist guide. Glide across the Nile on a traditional felucca to lush Banana Island, then recharge with an authentic Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant.
Cross to the West Bank and enter the Valley of the Kings, where pharaohs were buried for eternity - including the highlight, the Tomb of King Tutankhamun, its wall paintings still vivid after 3,000 years. Continue to the cliff temple of Queen Hatshepsut and the towering Colossi of Memnon.
Round-trip hotel transfers, fast-track entry tickets, the Nile boat ride, lunch and a professional guide are all included. Free cancellation and reserve-now-pay-later keep your plans flexible.
