Hurghada: Luxor Valley of the Kings & Tutankhamun Tomb Trip

1.Luxor Valley of the Kings & Tutankhamun Tomb Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 13,208 reviews · from $76Our pick

Travel from Hurghada to Luxor with a guide such as Nana, Doa, Shaban, or Ahmed. Visit Karnak, the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut’s Temple, and the Colossi of Memnon. Add Tutankhamun’s tomb and a Nile boat crossing if selected. Expect a long, hot day, cold water, snacks, lunch, and return transport.

“Fantastic day! Very well organised and our guide Nana was excellent! It is a very very long day but worth it. Please beware of the heat!! It was 40* and so intense, make sure you have sunscreen and a fan! We were provided with cold bottles of water throughout and even treated to a lolly ice which was nice. It was cheaper to book without Tutankhamun tomb and pay for it once there, about £11 each. If you want to take the boat across the Nile to get to the restaurant for lunch it is an additional $10 each but it was worth it for the experience. I would recommend…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 1,681 reviews · 3 hours · from $88

Captain Omar, Bakr, Abdo, and other pilots have been praised for calm flights and smooth landings.

“When you get there (a random large carpark) it seems like chaos and have no idea what's going on. But it's actually a surprisingly well oiled machine, our day there was maybe 30-32 balloons going up with no wasted time. Flight itself was excellent, guide pointed out main features/sights but is obviously more focused on not hitting any power lines! landing was smooth, and the team was already there ready to go and get us down. Awesome overall”
