At 8 am, a driver will come to your hotel to take you to Hurghada airport. There, you will board a flight to Luxor. Upon your arrival, your tour guide will meet you and escort you on the Luxor East Bank Tour. Our day trips from Hurghada will commence with visits to the Luxor and Karnak temples.
Our first stop will be the Luxor Temple, which was constructed in honor of the Theban Triad—Amun-Ra, Mut, and Khonsu. Built around 1250 BCE as part of his burial complex, this temple was commissioned by Ramses II.
Ramses, the son of King Seti I, was an extraordinary Pharaoh who achieved a significant victory over the Hittites in the famous Battle of Qadesh, which led to the Hittites seeking the most renowned peace treaty in ancient history.
Next, we will proceed to the Karnak Temple, regarded as the most significant religious complex ever built worldwide. It hosts numerous events, including the Feast of Min and the Opet Festival. The complex features a vast outer court with nearly 2,000 columns and an enormous hypostyle hall comprising 134 columns.
You will spend the night in Luxor.
