Luxor by plane 1 day

The excursion to Luxor from Sharm-el-Sheikh is an extraordinary journey into Ancient Egypt, packed with history and awe-inspiring sights. The adventure begins with an early morning hotel pickup at 4:30 am, followed by a short 40-minute flight from Sharm-el-Sheikh at 6:30 a.m. Once in Luxor, an English-speaking guide will be there to introduce you to the city’s iconic landmarks and its fascinating stories.

Here’s what you can expect on this unforgettable day:

• Valley of the Kings: Explore the most renowned burial site, where intricate tombs and ruins have captivated archaeologists for centuries.
• Colossi of Memnon: Stand before two monumental statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, each soaring 18 meters high and weighing 700 tons. These remarkable statues are the last remnants of the Pharaoh’s Funeral Temple, partially destroyed by an ancient earthquake.
• Temple of Queen Hatshepsut: Dedicated to Egypt’s first female pharaoh, this temple is a testament to Hatshepsut’s legacy as both a powerful ruler and a patron of the arts. Built between 1482 and 1473 BC, it showcases Egypt’s architectural grandeur.
• Karnak Temple: This awe-inspiring temple complex, measuring 1.5 km by 700 m, stands as one of Egypt’s most powerful ancient structures and the second most visited site after the pyramids.

Additional activities include a stop at a stone exhibition and an optional Nile River cruise for just $20 per person. Drift along the magical, tranquil Nile and soak in the serene beauty. The boat trip even includes a visit to Banana Island, where you can enjoy fresh fruits and encounter playful monkeys.

After a day packed with discoveries, your return flight departs Luxor around 20:30. Upon arrival back in Sharm-el-Sheikh, our guide will meet you for a comfortable transfer back to your hotel.
