Day 1: Luxor’s landmarks, lunch and an overnight stay
Your 2-day Luxor tour from Hurghada begins with the main sightseeing programme in Luxor. With four visits on the itinerary, it is a full day: bring comfortable walking shoes and be prepared for time outdoors.
Karnak Temple
Monumental columns in Karnak Temple’s Great Hypostyle Hall.
Explore a temple setting shaped by monumental columns, courtyards and carved stone surfaces. Karnak gives you an introduction to the scale of ancient Egyptian architecture, while the details on its walls and columns reward a closer look. Read our Karnak Temple visitor guide for background before your trip.
Hatshepsut Temple
Hatshepsut Temple and its dramatic cliffside setting in Luxor.
See the terraces of Hatshepsut Temple against the cliffs at Deir el-Bahari. The long lines of its colonnades and its mountain setting make this a distinctive part of the day, with a different appearance from the enclosed courts and columns of Karnak.
Valley of the Kings
Painted walls and ceiling in Ramesses IV’s tomb (KV2), Valley of the Kings.
Visit the royal burial landscape on Luxor’s West Bank. The Valley of the Kings adds the story of ancient Egypt’s royal tombs to a day of temple visits. Our Valley of the Kings guide explains the site and the distinction between standard visits and separately ticketed tombs.
Colossi of Memnon
The programme also includes a stop at the Colossi of Memnon, the two enormous seated statues on the West Bank. Their open setting gives you a clear view of their scale and another memorable landmark to photograph during your Luxor visit.
Lunch and your night in Luxor
Lunch is included on day one, followed by an overnight hotel stay as part of your 2-day Luxor tour from Hurghada. After sightseeing, check into your room and settle in for the evening before the next morning’s balloon experience.
Free evening to explore Luxor
After checking into your hotel room, enjoy free time to explore Luxor independently. Discover more of the city at your own pace, or choose to relax at the hotel. You decide how to spend the evening before the next morning’s balloon experience.
Day 2: Hot air balloon, breakfast and free time in Luxor

We had a wonderful trip to Luxor! 😊 The experience was beautiful, and we got to see amazing places and learn more about Egypt’s history. It was quite tiring for the children because of the long journey, but overall, we enjoyed it as a family. Thank you to Hurghada Travels for organizing the trip and for your help! 🌴🇪🇬
Just perfect.
Great tour for individual requests regarding snorkeling spots , dolphin watching and swimming
1 minus point: our Captain participated with us in this “chasing the dolphins” game, where all the boats chase the Dolphins someone saw
We asked to stop and go back to Marina .

Wir haben bei Hurghada Travels insgesamt drei Ausflüge gebucht – einen Spa-Besuch, die Super Safari und den Schnorchelausflug nach Orange Bay – und können nur sagen: Es war einfach perfekt!
Schon der Kontakt über WhatsApp war super unkompliziert. Alle Absprachen wurden genau so eingehalten, wie sie vorher vereinbart waren. Man hatte von Anfang an ein gutes Gefühl und konnte sich darauf verlassen, dass alles funktioniert. Genau so wünscht man sich das im Urlaub.
Alle drei Ausflüge waren hervorragend organisiert und haben unserer ganzen Familie unglaublich viel Spaß gemacht. Wir haben uns jederzeit gut aufgehoben gefühlt und wurden überall freundlich und herzlich empfangen.
Besonders hervorheben möchten wir die Ehrlichkeit und Zuverlässigkeit. Hurghada Travels ist absolut vertrauenswürdig – keine leeren Versprechen, sondern genau das, was vorher besprochen wurde.
