Day 1: Depart from Hurghada Port in a private transfer service and begin your journey to Luxor. Along the way, soak in the ever-changing landscapes, from arid mountains to fertile expanses, while your knowledgeable guide unravels the rich history of Upper Egypt. Explore the East Bank's extraordinary temples, including the awe-inspiring Temple of Karnak. This magnificent site boasts the remarkable Hypostyle Hall, Sacred Lake, and the Avenue of the Sphinxes. Continue to Luxor Temple, known as "Ipet resyt" or the Place of the Seclusion of Amun-Re. After exploring the temple, enjoy a delectable lunch at Steigenberger Nile Palace before checking in at your Luxor hotel. Return to your hotel for your overnight stay.
Day 2: Begin your day with breakfast and explore Luxor's West Bank. Discover the legendary Valley of the Kings, also known as the Valley of the Gates of the Kings. This iconic site served as the royal burial ground for nearly 500 years during the New Kingdom period, from the Eighteenth to the Twentieth Dynasties. Carved into the cliffs of a desert wadi on the west bank of the Nile, directly across from ancient Thebes (modern-day Luxor), this sacred valley is the final resting place of pharaohs and powerful nobles. Nestled within the Theban Necropolis, the Valley is home to some of the most beautifully decorated tombs in Egypt, showcasing intricate wall paintings and hieroglyphs that have survived thousands of years. On your way back, pause to capture images of the colossal statues of Amenhotep III, famously known as the Colossi of Memnon, which have vigilantly guarded his memorial temple for over 3,400 years. Your nest visit will be Hatshepsut temple afterwards, return to your hotel for lunch and check out. Then, journey back to Hurghada Port. Your adventure concludes with a return to your ship, leaving you with memories of Egypt's wonders.
