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…”
