Private Tour to Luxor by Plane
Description
Begin your expedition to the core of Upper Egypt through this unique private tour from Sharm el-Sheikh to Luxor. This package includes flights and entrance fees to the Valley of the Kings, Karnak, and the temple of Hatshepsut, ensuring a memorable adventure!
Tour Highlights
Nurturing your travel experience, we will pick you up from your Sharm El Sheikh hotel and transport you to the airport. An exciting flight will then take you directly to Luxor. Prepare for takeoff!
Once we reach our destination, a minibus will be ready to take us to the famous Valley of the Kings, known for its historical significance as a pharaohs' burial ground. Here, you will have the chance to explore three tombs decorated with intricate drawings and hieroglyphs on their subterranean walls. Discover stories of tomb raiders and dive deep into the mythos of the Ancients.
Following our exploration of the Valley, a quick stop at an alabaster workshop offers a chance to purchase artisanal figurines as keepsakes before we visit the funerary temple of Hatshepsut. Nestled against a cliff, this temple honors the sun god and was created under the rule of one of the earliest female leaders in history.
Wander through this temple, celebrated as one of the best-preserved structures of Ancient Egypt, and uncover the complex relation between Hatshepsut and her stepson, Thutmose III. Did this pharaoh truly attempt to erase all aspects of his predecessor's legacy?
Our next stop is the Colossi of Memnon, which consists of two towering statues of Amenophis III, each standing at an impressive 14 meters (46 feet)! Step back over 3,400 years into the past to explore the life of this pharaoh and the queens forever memorialized here.
Take a moment to refuel with a buffet lunch at a local restaurant in Luxor before we venture to the Karnak Temple. Did you know this site is considered one of the oldest and largest religious complexes globally?
Karnak is an immense Ancient Egyptian temple that took over 1,000 years to construct due to its ongoing expansions. Come prepared to be awed by its iconic hypostyle hall!
As our day comes to a close, we will take you back to the airport in Luxor for your return flight. After approximately 17.5 hours, you will be dropped off at your hotel.
