Best of · VALLEY DAY TRIPS IN EGYPT
One spare day and a long list of options. These 4 valley day trips in Egypt are the ones worth the early alarm, each with its cost and its real length.
Travel from Hurghada to Luxor in a small group of up to 13, with an Egyptologist guide such as Huda, Mahmoud, or Ismail. See three royal tombs, Hatshepsut Temple, Memnon’s Colossi, Karnak, and Luxor Temple from outside. Snacks, water, lunch, ferry crossing, transport, and listed entry tickets are included.
“Our tour guide Khaled Faramawy was very friendly and nice.”
Leave Hurghada before sunrise for a private, air-conditioned ride to Luxor. A guide such as Salah, Abdul, Hassan, or Sala may lead you through the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, and Karnak, with lunch, drinks, hotel pickup, and drop-off included. Expect a long but rewarding 14-hour day.
Start at 7:00 am from your Luxor hotel, Nile cruise, or Luxor airport. A private air-conditioned vehicle takes you to the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, and Memnon Colossi. Your English- or Arabic-speaking guide explains the tombs, temple, and ancient Thebes, then returns you to Luxor or the airport.
“Great, I visited everything, and the driver and guide were super friendly and helpful.”
Travel from Hurghada to Luxor on an early-starting day trip with hotel pickup, an air-conditioned vehicle, a guide, and lunch. Visit Karnak Temple, the Valley of the Kings, the Colossi of Memnon, and Hatshepsut’s temple. The $51.29 price is appealing, but entrance fees and some optional costs are extra.
Pick a coastline, a mountain pass, a ruin or a cellar.
