2 Days Luxor & Abu Simbel Tour from Hurghada

Your 2 Days Luxor & Abu Simbel Tour from Hurghada begins with a private, air-conditioned transfer from your hotel to Luxor, where you’ll meet our expert Egyptologist guide to visit:

Hatshepsut Temple:

Hatshepsut's mortuary temple, located in the El Deir El Bahari Complex, was constructed during the reign of Queen Hatshepsut (1473–1458 BC). Built in a unique terraced design and dedicated to the god Amun-Ra, it highlights the divine legitimacy and grandeur of her reign.

Valley of the Kings:

The Valley of the Kings on the West Bank of the Nile served as the necropolis of the New Kingdom (18th–20th dynasties). This legendary burial site contains 63 tombs of pharaohs, queens, nobles, and even animals.

Among its treasures are the tombs of great rulers such as Ramses II, Seti I, and Tutankhamun, showcasing elaborate carvings, inscriptions, and vivid depictions of ancient beliefs about the afterlife.

Colossi of Memnon:

The Colossi of Memnon are two monumental statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, carved in quartzite sandstone and standing 18 meters tall. Built around 1350 BC, these twin guardians once fronted his grand mortuary temple and remain timeless symbols of ancient craftsmanship.

Enjoy your lunch on an island along the Nile before continuing your journey to the majestic temple complex of Karnak.

Karnak Temple Complex:

The Karnak Temple Complex is the largest religious structure ever built and one of the crown jewels of ancient Egypt. Dedicated primarily to Amun, it was revered as “the most select of places.” Its colossal Hypostyle Hall and vast pylons highlight the architectural mastery of the New Kingdom.

A highlight of Karnak is the Grand Avenue of Sphinxes, which once linked it directly to the magnificent Luxor Temple, creating an awe-inspiring sacred path for ancient processions.

In the evening, you’ll transfer by private coach to Luxor train station, board a 1st-class train to Aswan, and check into your 5-star hotel for an overnight stay.

Meals: Lunch

In the early morning, collect your breakfast boxes and accompany your private guide to continue your 2 Days Luxor & Abu Simbel Tour from Hurghada. Today, you will head south to witness one of Egypt’s most breathtaking landmarks:

Abu Simbel Temples:

The legendary Abu Simbel Temples are among the most iconic monuments in Egypt, celebrated for their colossal statues and intricate carvings. This UNESCO World Heritage site includes two temples, one built for Pharaoh Ramses II and the other dedicated to his beloved wife, Queen Nefertari. Both temples were carved directly into a sandstone cliff during the 13th century BC.

The larger temple of Ramses II features four colossal seated statues guarding the entrance, while the smaller temple honors Queen Nefertari as the goddess Hathor. Originally located near the Nile’s second cataract, the temples were relocated in the 1960s to save them from the rising waters of Lake Nasser.

These awe-inspiring monuments are not just feats of engineering but also masterpieces of religious devotion and artistic skill, leaving visitors in complete admiration of ancient Egyptian civilization.

After your visit, return by private A/C vehicle to Aswan and enjoy lunch at a traditional oriental restaurant. Then, you’ll be transferred to Aswan Train Station to board a 1st-class train to Qena. Upon arrival, a private vehicle will escort you back to your hotel in Hurghada, concluding your 2-Day Trip from Hurghada to Luxor & Abu Simbel.
