Tour Itinerary
You will be picked up early in the morning. You will then drive in a modern, comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle through Safaga via the newly developed desert road for approximately 325 km to the Nile Valley in Qena.
En route, you will make a brief stop at a rest stop, which is an opportunity to use the bathroom or stretch your legs.
Then you'll drive along the densely populated rural road to Luxor (approximately 60 km). Here, you'll pass numerous small and large sites and experience typical Egyptian daily life.
Now you've arrived in Luxor, and you're ready to enjoy your trip to Luxor. Upon arrival, after a short refreshment break, you'll visit the world's largest temple complex with its colossal hypostyle hall. The bus will take you to the West Bank of Thebes, where you'll enjoy a traditional local lunch.
After a lunch break, explore the world-famous Valley of the Kings with an indoor visit to the royal tombs. New! Mobile phone photography is now permitted in the tombs without a flash, free of charge. You'll then drive to the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, a great photo opportunity. Your tour concludes at the Colossi of Memnon.
Then you'll embark on your return journey. It's time to reflect on the day's experiences or perhaps watch the hustle and bustle of life on the banks of the Nile. Arrive at your hotel around 8:00 PM. This one-day tour to Luxor and the Valley of the Kings will be memorable for a long time.
