Day trip to Luxor by plane from Sharm El Sheikh

Tour Details:

We will pick you up at your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh around midnight; You will recognize our driver by the sign with your name in his hands. He will take you to Sharm El Sheikh airport for your flight to Luxor, where you will be met by our guide.

First of all, you will visit the West Bank, where you will make a short stop on the way to take a look at the 3400-year-old Colossi of Memnon, giant statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III.

The next stop will be in the Valley of the Kings. This is the place where the ancient Egyptians buried their kings and nobles for 500 years. The mummies of some famous persons of the time, as well as pharaohs, were found here. Take the opportunity to descend into one of the tombs of the Egyptian rulers, and you’ll discover well-preserved colorful paintings and hieroglyphs on the walls.

Get ready for another attraction – the temple of Queen Hatshepsut. She was one of the most famous rulers of Ancient Egypt. This female pharaoh proved her ability to successfully rule the empire and finally created for herself a temple of extraordinary architecture, with columns, a hypostyle hall and many statues, paintings and bas-reliefs.

The  façade is decorated with huge statues of Ramses in the guise of the ancient Egyptian god Osiris, well-preserved pylons and walls, as well as more than 7000m2 of wall reliefs, which are not only pleasing to the eye, but also tell us about the history of Egypt. For example, the victory of Ramses III over his enemies, the “People of the Sea”, who threatened Egypt at the time.

After that, you will visit  the Temple of Karnak, probably one of the most unusual temples in the whole world, as it is still in excellent condition after a thousand years. You will have plenty of time to explore the gate, where you will learn how the pylon was built, walk along the avenue of sphinxes (with the body of a lion and the head of a ram), discover the hypostyle hall with its more or less preserved columns,  admire hieroglyphs and paintings, see the Sacred Lake and various chapels, temples and statues. And if you want, find the Sacred Scarab located near the lake, walk around it three times clockwise – and, according to legend, your wish will definitely come true…!

In the evening you will fly back to Sharm El Sheikh where you will be met by our driver to take you to your hotel.
