2 Days Trip to Luxor & Abu Simbel from El Gouna Itinerary
Your private driver will take you from your hotel in El Gouna and transfer you for Luxor to begin your 2 days Luxor & Abu Simbel tours from El Gouna. When you reach Luxor, you will meet your personal guide up to visit the best touristic attractions of Luxor:
Karnak Temple:
The Karnak Temple Complex is the most massive, most impressive and most important ancient religious center in all of Egypt. Establishing this temple started in 1970 BC, during the reign of King Seti I who was the father of King Ramses II. Karnak Temple was dedicated to Amun, his wife Mut, and his son Khonsu. Karnak Temple is connected to Luxor Temple by the Avenue of the Sphinxes, which represents the power of ancient Egyptian architecture.
Valley of the Kings:
The Valley of the Kings is an underground site filled with tombs in Luxor which was established in an old dry valley of the Nile and included about 63 royal tombs of Pharaohs and nobles of the new kingdom (1570- 1050 BC). The Valley of the Kings was the major royal necropolis in ancient Egypt.
Queen Hatshepsut Temple:
Queen Hatshepsut Temple in Luxor is regarded as the best example of the classical architecture of the new kingdom. Queen Hatshepsut erected this temple in 1479 BC to honour God Amun in addition to prove her strength and make her name still known forever. This magnificent temple serves as a testament to the great ancient Egyptian architecture and civilization.
Colossi of Memnon:
They are two massive statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III which were carved in 1350BC to serve as a massive piece of art. There are several artistic hieroglyphs and paintings on their sides showing the King’s family, heritage, and the Nile God Hapi. They are standing in front of the ruins of the mortuary temple of Pharaoh Amenhotep III and acting as guardians of it. The Colossi of Memnon gained their fame due to the phenomenon of emmiting sound like music at dawn, its thought that they are singing but the scientific explanation is the change of temperature making rapture in stones which makes this sound.

What travellers say after touring Egypt with us.
I went with my family on this trip for twelve days. The agency was very respectful with our preferences and budget. The transport was scheduled and we got the opportunity to visit various monuments along a marvelous guide called Ahmed Nasser.
Egypt tour group handled our 12 day tour perfectly. I can’t say enough of how all the arrangements we set up from the moment we got to Cairo airport there was always someone there to meet us. We transferred through 2 airports 4 cities and mutable hotels and never had to wait.
Excellent tour company! We did three tours. One day touring some of the Pyramids, a day trip to Alexandria and an epic 2 day trip from Cairo to Sinai to climb Mount Sinai. Excellent tour company!
Marian was absolutely wonderful!! She was a wealth of knowledge . She guided us to important parts of each temple and tomb.Letting us know what the meaning for the particular inscription.
We had Ayoub as our tour guide, he was absolutely amazing. Very knowledgable on Egypt and spoke English well. He also has a personality that is very easy to get along with and made our trip enjoyable
I went to Egypt recently and I had as a guide Mr Mohamed El Shemei which was excellent and made our experience amazing. He knew so much of Egypts history and he filled us with information however making sure it wasn’t boring.
