Get ready to swap the beaches of Marsa Alam for the ancient wonders of Luxor on this unforgettable private day trip. With your own personal Egyptologist guide and a comfy air-conditioned ride, you'll walk in the footsteps of pharaohs, uncover age-old secrets, and experience the soul of ancient Egypt – all in just one day.
Your day begins with a private pick-up from your hotel in Marsa Alam. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the scenic drive through the Eastern Desert as you head toward one of Egypt’s most legendary cities—Luxor.
First Stop: Valley of the Kings
Beneath the arid hills on Luxor’s West Bank lies the Valley of the Kings, the final resting place of Egypt’s most powerful pharaohs. Venture inside elaborately decorated tombs, including those of Ramses II, Seti I, and the boy king Tutankhamun. It's a place of stories, mystery, and majesty that will leave you in awe.
Temple of Queen Hatshepsut
Next, you’ll visit the awe-inspiring temple of Queen Hatshepsut, carved into the cliffs at Deir el-Bahari. Known as one of ancient Egypt’s most powerful female rulers, her temple is an architectural wonder and a tribute to her remarkable legacy.
Colossi of Memnon
Stop for photos at the Colossi of Memnon, two towering statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III that have stood guard for more than 3,000 years. These giants are all that remain of what was once a massive temple complex.
Lunch with a View
Time to refuel! You’ll hop on a short boat ride across the Nile to a peaceful island, where a tasty lunch awaits—complete with river views and a breeze.
Karnak Temple Complex
Your final stop is the incredible Karnak Temple, one of the largest religious sites in the world. Walk through the Avenue of Sphinxes, gaze up at massive columns in the Hypostyle Hall, and explore a place that was built and expanded over 2,000 years.

Absolutely mind blowing. A definite must see. We flew from Aswan after I contact them, as I did not want to sit in car for hours with my 10-year-old daughter. Just so much history and ancient love. You cannot miss this one thing if you are in Cairo. The rocks are just HUGE, so special.
I recently traveled with my wife, daughter, son in law and two grandsons (ages 4 and 2). We had a private tour experience. From the moment we landed at the airport on our arrival to the day we left we were treated with the utmost care and attention
Our trip to was wonderful. The accommodations and travel was seamlessly arranged by customer service rep, Mona, and we visited so many of the famous Egyptian antiquities. I would not have done the trip without the very knowledgeable guides, Ashraf and Mamdouh
