Itinerary
With a sign with your name, the tour guide from Cairo Top Tours will greet you in the Hurghada hotel lobby to start your overnight journey to Luxor. Enjoy your two-day trip to Luxor from Hurghada. It takes around three and a half hours to drive a private vehicle from Hurghada to Luxor.
On the first day, you will visit Luxor Temple. The temple was dedicated to “Amon-Ka-Mout.f”. An avenue of sphinxes connected Karnak to Luxor Temple, which is situated on the eastern bank of the Nile.
The Luxor Temple was probably built on an earlier temple dating from the 13th Dynasty (c. 1785 BC). In the New Kingdom, its construction was mainly between the reigns of Amenhotep III and Ramesses II.
In this temple was celebrated the "Feast of Opet", the purpose of its celebration was to meet Amun-Ra, the god of the Karnak temples, and Amun, the god of the Luxor temple, with the renewal of birth, as well as the re-crowning of the king and the renewal of his legitimacy to rule the country. The phases of this feast are represented in detail on the walls that border the great colonnade of the temple.
You will have a delicious meal of Egyptian cuisine and then you will be transferred to Karnak Temple (the oldest and largest house of worship in the world and the entire history) before being transferred to your hotel to relax.
The guide will be waiting for you in the hotel lobby in the morning to pick you up and provide you with information about the Valley of the Kings, which was chosen for several reasons. The secluded nature of this valley was another reason why it was chosen as the last resting place for the kings. Tombs were stolen in ancient times, as happened in the Old and Middle Kingdom pyramids, and to avoid that fate, they chose hidden underground tombs in a secluded desert valley. The first New Kingdom ruler to be confirmed buried in the Valley of the Kings was Thutmose I (c. 1504 - 1492 BC), the third king of the 18th Dynasty. 1492 BC), the third king of the 18th dynasty.
You will be taken to the temple of El Deir El Bahri following your tour of the Valley of the Kings. This location, which lies on the west bank of Thebes, is known in Arabic as Deir el Bahari, or the "Northern Convent," since there used to be a convent in the temple of Hatshepsut.
The site of the Bahari monastery was sacred because it was associated with the goddess Hathor, patron goddess of the kings of Egypt, including the god Horus, the first mythical ruler of Egypt, and the personification of this goddess was believed to be in the same hills whose shadow falls over the temple of Hatshepsut. You will see the two statues of Memnon.
The reason for the name ‘Memnon’ is due to a funny story, which is that when the two statues were cracked in ancient times in the era of the Greeks, especially the left statue, they emitted sounds like sad singing because of the passage of air through those cracks, so the Greeks said that these sounds were the crying of the mother of the hero ‘Memnon’, who was killed by Achilles in the Trojan Wars, hence the name Memnon, and because of these sounds, the two statues were among the most famous landmarks in ancient times.
You will then be transferred back to your hotel in Hurghada

Egypt is one of the most enduringly picturesque locations, in my opinion. From the time we were little, we have vivid memories of these ancient ruins, including the Great Pyramids and King Tut's funerary mask. Since it is obviously crucial to preserve these artefacts, most temples and tombs have photographic policies that forbid using a flash in particular. It is essential to check with your CEO and ensure what is permitted before entering as the policies frequently alter and differ from location to site. In certain temples, taking photos with anything other than your smartphone is subject to a fee or is openly prohibited, as it is in Tutankhamun's tomb.
Yesn it's but in winter is so warm.
While two days in Luxor can provide you with a glimpse of the city's remarkable historical treasures, it may not be sufficient to fully explore and appreciate everything the city has to offer. Luxor is often referred to as an open-air museum due to its abundance of ancient temples, tombs, and archaeological sites.
With two days, you can visit some of Luxor's major attractions, such as the Karnak Temple Complex, the Luxor Temple, the Valley of the Kings, and the Temple of Hatshepsut. You can also take a leisurely stroll along the Avenue of Sphinxes and explore the Luxor Museum.
