Your journey starts early in the morning with departure from Hurghada, heading toward Luxor by road. The drive takes around four hours and offers scenic views of the desert landscape and the Nile Valley. You travel in a modern, air-conditioned vehicle to ensure a comfortable ride throughout the day.

Upon arrival in Luxor, you begin exploring the grandeur of ancient Egypt with a visit to the Karnak Temple Complex. Covering more than 100 hectares, Karnak is an extensive collection of temples, chapels, and pylons that reflect centuries of construction. One of its most remarkable features is the Great Hypostyle Hall, where 134 towering columns showcase the extraordinary architectural skills of the ancient Egyptians.

After lunch, the tour continues to Luxor’s West Bank. Here, you visit the Valley of the Kings, the royal burial site of ancient pharaohs, which contains more than 60 tombs. As you walk through the tombs, you can admire the detailed hieroglyphics and learn about the beliefs and traditions of ancient Egyptian life. The journey then leads to the distinctive Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, the powerful female pharaoh who ruled Egypt independently for nearly 20 years. Your sightseeing concludes at the Colossi of Memnon, the massive statues that once guarded the mortuary temple of Pharaoh Amenhotep III.

After a full day of exploration, you check in to a comfortable hotel in Luxor, where you can relax, enjoy dinner, and rest in preparation for the following day’s activities.

The drive takes approximately three hours, passing through scenic views of the Nile’s green riverbanks contrasted with the surrounding desert landscapes. Upon arrival in Aswan, your sightseeing starts with a visit to Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis. This remarkable temple complex was carefully relocated to Agilkia Island to protect it from flooding, standing today as a powerful symbol of ancient devotion and modern preservation efforts.

Your tour continues to the Unfinished Obelisk, still lying in its original granite quarry, offering valuable insight into ancient Egyptian stone-cutting techniques. No visit to Aswan is complete without seeing the Aswan High Dam, one of the most significant engineering achievements of modern Egypt.

After completing your visits, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before boarding a seated train to Qena. Upon arrival in Qena, you will be met by a driver for the transfer back to your hotel in Hurghada, marking the end of your journey.
