Am Morgen werden Sie von Ihrem Hotel in Hurghada abgeholt und in einem klimatisierten Fahrzeug nach Luxor gebracht, um Folgendes ausgiebig zu erkunden:
Valley of the KingsA UNESCO World Heritage site since 1979, the Valley of the Kings is the ancient burial ground of Egypt’s New Kingdom Pharaohs (1570–1070 BC). Featuring 63 subterranean tombs—including those of Tutankhamun, Ramesses II, and Hatshepsut—this iconic site highlights vibrant wall art, sacred funerary inscriptions, and masterful ancient architecture.
- Hatshepsut Temple
Dating to 1479 BC, the Temple of Hatshepsut (Djeser-Djeseru) is an architectural wonder of the New Kingdom. Situated at Deir el-Bahari in Luxor, this terraced monument was built to honor Queen Hatshepsut and dedicated to the god Amun-Ra, featuring classical colonnades and sacred relief carvings.
- Colossi of Memnon
The Colossi of Memnon are twin 18-meter-tall quartzite statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III (1386–1350 BC) guarding Luxor’s West Bank. Weighing 720 tons each, these ancient stone monoliths were transported over 400 miles from quarries near Cairo to Thebes. Renowned in Greco-Roman history for the mysterious "Vocal Memnon" phenomenon, they remain an essential stop on any Luxor excursion.
MittagspauseYou will then have your lunch before heading to:
- Karnak Temple
Constructed over 4,000 years ago, Karnak Temple (Ipet-sut) is the world's largest ancient religious site. Located on the East Bank of Luxor, it served as the principal sanctuary for the Theban Triad—Amun, Mut, and Khonsu—while also honoring deities such as Osiris, Ptah, and Isis. Featuring the famous Great Hypostyle Hall and grand avenues, Karnak is an essential highlight of any Luxor excursion.
You will then end your Luxor day trip from Hurghada by transferring back to your hotel in Hurghada by a private air-conditioned car.
