Stop At: Hurghada, Hurghada, Red Sea and Sinai
After a convenient hotel pickup from Hurghada, stay comfortable in a minivan that will take you past the Nile River and across small towns and villages to Luxor. The tour covers all entrance fees, lunch, and transport between sights. The first stop is the Colossi of Memnon, two 3,400-year-old seated statues built during the 18th Dynasty of Egypt. Then, head to the Valley of the Kings, a dry and narrow tract of royal tombs, including that of the young king Tutankhamen. At the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, your guide will tell you about one of Egypt’s most extraordinary leaders and get a firsthand peek at her intricate and colonnaded tomb. Enjoy an authentic local lunch and end the afternoon with a visit to the legendary Temple of Karnak, an immense pillared complex filled with relics considered sacred by ancient Egyptians, before getting transported back to your hotel.
