Small group Hurghada to Luxor Valley of the Kings by Van

Early in the morning, you will be picked up from your hotel in Hurghada and drive to Luxor.

Upon arrival in Luxor, you will meet with your Egyptologist tour guide and start your day’s visits of a small group Hurghada to Luxor Valley of the Kings by van.

 Karnak Temples

The Karnak Temple dates back from around 2055 BC to around 100 AD. It was built as a cult temple and was dedicated to the gods Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. Being the largest building for religious purposes ever to be constructed, the Karnak Temple was known as the “most select of places” by ancient Egyptians.

During the New Kingdom, the Karnak Temple Complex was the center of the ancient faith while power was concentrated at Thebes (modern-day Luxor), and its significance is reflected in its enormous size.

In addition to its religious significance, it also served as a treasury, administrative center, and palace for the New Kingdom pharaohs. It is to this day considered the largest temple complex ever constructed anywhere in the world.
This was your first stop on Small group Hurghada to Luxor tour.

Lunch will be served at one of the best restaurants in Luxor City.

Valley of the kings

Its royal burials are located in the West Bank of Luxor, which has 24 terrific royal tombs and, in total, 64 tombs, according to the last discovery from 2008 to 2014.

It’s the final resting place of Egypt’s rulers from the 18th to the 20th dynasties; it is home to tombs, including those of the great pharaoh Ramses II and King Tutankhamun. The tombs were well stocked with all the material goods a ruler might need in the next world. Most of the decoration inside the tombs is still well-preserved.

After our small group Hurghada to Luxor Valley of the Kings by van finishes visiting the Valley of the Kings, we will drive to Hatshepsut’s temple.

Hatshepsut’s temple 

It is a mortuary temple at Deir El-Bahri. It was built by Queen Hatshepsut, who is considered to be one of the most formidable women in Ancient Egypt.

The queen is distinguished as one of the most successful pharaohs of Ancient Egypt, but she was not the only female ruler in Egypt’s history. Her reign was peaceful and prosperous, and as a result, it witnessed a wide variety of achievements, one of which was her own mortuary temple, which commemorates all her great works on its walls.

Memnoon colossal

They are two incredible, massive stone statues of the royal pharaoh, Amenhotep III. They depict him in a seated position, and they are made from blocks of quartzite sandstone. The legendary Colossi of Memnon are the guardians of the Mortuary Temple of Amenhotep III. The temple consists of two spectacular twin statues sitting at the entrance of Luxor, and it gained fame due to its majestic appearance.

At the end of our great service, we will be going back to Hurghada to drop you off to your hotel, and wishing you amazing holiday in Egypt.
