When you arrive, a tour guide will meet you and lead you on a tour of Luxor, renowned for its remarkable temples. This is one of the most popular Luxor day trips and an ideal Hurghada day trip experience.
First, start on the east bank, where you will visit the Luxor Temple, built during the reign of Amenhotep III. After you finish the visit, the tour guide will take you to the Karnak temple, which is widely regarded as the greatest religious temple ever built by mankind and was also the cultic and administrative center during the New Kingdom. Explore the background of Luxor Temple as this temple was joined by a procession aisle with that of Karnak Temple, which was constructed under the reign of Amenhotep II and finished by Ramses II, who happens to be the person who also built the outer part. These sites are highly popular among Hurghada Excursions to Luxor.
Then, head to the west bank to explore Deir Al-Bahari Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, built between 2061–2010 BC for Queen Hatshepsut, which is popularly known as El-Deir El-Bahari, and has the queen's divine birth story written on it. Take a trip to the Valley of the Kings, where the tomb of King Tutankhamun and many other New Kingdom Pharaohs lie. More than 60 tombs built into cliffs have been found, making this a must-see site on any Egypt tour and a highlight of Excursions in Hurghada.
You may proceed for a trip to the Colossi of Memnon, and view two huge stone figures in the position of a sitting Pharaoh Amenhotep III, the colossi of King Amenhotep III, the only ones to survive from his grand mortuary temple
