Luxor 2 Days Tour from Hurghada

Description

Day 1

In the morning you will be picked up from Hurghada by an air-conditioned
vehicle that will drive you to Luxor (approx. 4 hours). After arrival
in Luxor you will cross over to the West Bank of the Nile to visit the
Valley of the Kings with the possibility of visiting the most famous
attraction, the Tomb of Tutankhamun (which carries an extra charge).
Your Egyptologist will be on hand to recommend and advise you as to
which tombs to visit. This ancient necropolis is a must-see for Luxor
travelers. Later, you will be taken to the impressive mortuary Temple of
Queen Hatshepsut, the only woman ever to reign over Egypt as pharaoh.
Then you will visit the Colossi of Memnon. With a height of nearly 18
meters, these two statues originally stood in front of the mortuary
Temple of Amenophis III, of which only ruins remain. After this visit of
the West Bank you will have lunch, after which you will be taken to
your hotel in Luxor. There you can spend the rest of the day at leisure
(Meals included: Lunch).             

 Day 2 

After breakfast at your hotel, you will start your guided tour of the
East Bank of Luxor by visiting Karnak. Karnak is a complex of temples
built in different reigns, starting with the Avenue of Sphinxes, the
Hypostyle Hall with its 134 gigantic columns, the Obelisks of Queen
Hatshepsut and Tutomosis I, the Temple of Amon adorned with lotus and
papyrus designs, the Granite Scarbeus of Amenophis III and the Sacred
Lake. Karnak beats every other pharaonic monument: it is simply one of
the most beautiful ancient monuments in Egypt. After Karnak you will be
brought to Luxor Temple, which is dedicated to the Theben Triad of
Amun-Ra, Mut and Khonsu. There you will see the granite statues of
Ramses the Great. Then you will have lunch, after which you will be
transferred back to Hurghada (Meals included: Breakfast and lunch).
