What to expect

Ready to head beyond the beaches of Sharm and see some of Egypt’s mysterious masterpieces? This jam-packed full-day tour whisks you across the Red Sea by plane to Luxor, the city known as the world’s greatest open-air museum. The Nile splits the city, and both its east and west banks are bursting with ancient moments that you’ll visit, including the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, Karnak Temple and the Colossi of Memnon.

You'll catch a flight to Luxor in the early hours of the morning and head straight to your first stop of the day, the Valley of the Kings – home to 63 royal tombs, famously including Tutankhamun. You’ll venture into three tombs, spotting vivid wall paintings and hieroglyphs along the walls until you reach the 3,500-year-old burial chambers – talk about a sense of awe!

Next, you’ll head to the ancient Temple of Hatshepsut, nestled into the cliffs by the Nile, and a little further along you’ll be faced with two of the most imposing statues you’re ever likely to see. The staggering Colossi of Memnon are two monumental statues of the Pharaoh Amenhotep III, and they make for quite the selfie. Rest your legs with a set menu lunch break at a local restaurant, before your final stop of the day, the sprawling complex of towering temples, chapels and statues that make up Karnak Temple.

Best of all, you can sit back and enjoy this sweep through thousands of years of history, as all the planning, transfers and logistics are taken care of. Simply choose whether you’d prefer a private tour for you and your group, or if you’d like to tour Luxor as part of a shared group.
