Explore the Best of Luxor in 2 Days with a Hot Air Balloon Ride Discover the wonders of Luxor in just two days, with highlights including a breathtaking hot air balloon ride. Visit the iconic Valley of the Kings, explore the majestic temples of Karnak and Luxor, and experience the rich history of this ancient city. Your adventure will be complete with a peaceful glide over Luxor’s landscapes at sunrise, offering unbeatable views from a hot air balloon.
After checking into your hotel, our English-speaking tour guide will lead you on a tour of the West Bank, a UNESCO World Heritage site that’s home to some of Egypt’s most famous landmarks.
First, explore the Tombs of the Nobles and the Valley of the Kings. You’ll also visit the Al-Deir Al-Bahari Temple, which, while a bit farther from Luxor’s city center, is well worth the trip. Here, you can see statues of various pharaohs, including King Tutankhamun, who was famously discovered in his tomb. Next, visit the Temple of Ramesses II, constructed during the 19th dynasty. These temples are surrounded by an intricate canal system, once used for irrigation and transportation.
Continue your journey with a visit to the Temple of Hatshepsut, built during the 18th dynasty and notable as one of Egypt’s earliest examples of female rulership.
Finally, stop at the Colossi of Memnon, two towering statues commissioned by King Amenhotep III for his mortuary temple, which was later taken over by King Merenptah for his temple.
After exploring these incredible sites, we will return to the hotel for dinner and an overnight stay.
In the morning, enjoy a hot air balloon ride over Luxor Temple.
Next, it's time to explore the East Bank of Luxor! After returning to your hotel for breakfast and checking out, visit the Karnak Temple Complex, one of the largest religious sites in Egypt, featuring over 20 temples. Originally built by Pharaoh Amenhotep III, it was expanded by Ramses II and later restored by Alexander the Great during his conquest of Egypt. Your next stop is the Luxor Temple, constructed by Hatshepsut and dedicated to Amun-Ra.
Afterward, you will be transferred back to your hotel or taken to Luxor Airport to catch your flight home.
