Luxor Temple
Embark on an unforgettable journey from sunny Hurghada to the heart of Ancient Egypt — the legendary Luxor. This trip is not just an excursion, but a true adventure that lets you touch the great history of a civilization that left behind incredible monuments.
The Luxor Temple is not just an architectural monument — it is a poem carved in stone. Located on the banks of the Nile, unlike many other Egyptian temples, it was dedicated not only to the gods but also to the very power of kingship.
We present to you a new and exciting group program, which was previously offered only individually! This is a unique opportunity at a reduced price on the Egyptian market, allowing you to discover Luxor beyond the classic $40 tour. You will see remarkable ancient architectural structures and learn much about the Valley of Luxor. The New Luxor from Hurghada program includes the magnificent Luxor Temple, dedicated to the god Amun and built by several pharaohs; the Avenue of Sphinxes, stretching for about 3 km; the funerary temple of Ramesses III – Medinet Habu, adorned with scenes of his military victories; the two famous “singing” statues — the Colossi of Memnon; and the Necropolis tombs of the nobles, where more than 400 prominent officials were buried. You will also enjoy a boat trip to Banana Island, see how fruits are grown, and taste them fresh.
The temple is especially magical at sunset. As the sun dips below the horizon, its last rays bathe the stones in warm orange and pink hues. With the evening lights illuminating the complex, the temple transforms, and its ancient walls come alive, creating an atmosphere of mystery and enchantment.
The Luxor Temple is a place where the past meets the present. Walking through its courtyards and halls, you can’t help but feel the connection to millennia of history and culture. It is not just a landmark — it is a living testimony to the greatness of a civilization that left behind such an extraordinary legacy.

Additional Information:
Transfer from Hurghada in a comfortable bus with two drivers, security, air conditioning, and a toilet (in some cases in Luxor, tourists may be transferred to a minibus if there are not enough participants for the program);
During the visit to Banana Island, tourists who do not book this option with the guide remain on the bus while it drives around via a detour road and bridge (the road is dusty and uncomfortable). Therefore, it is easier to refresh yourself with the boat trip to Banana Island and get off on the other side where the bus will be waiting;
Please note: Guides of local organizers may offer goods for sale – this is common practice in Egypt. Keep in mind that our online service does not control the quality or pricing of these goods;
To avoid possible odors, the toilet on the bus may be locked by the driver under the pretext of “out of order.” We recommend using toilets at stops and near attractions (cost about 10–15 Egyptian pounds); at lunch and on Banana Island, toilets are free. In case of urgent need and a locked toilet on the bus, please contact our booking department for assistance.
