El Gouna to Luxor day tour
Your El Gouna to Luxor day tour begins with a morning pickup and a private A/C ride across the Eastern Desert toward Luxor; on arrival, you’ll meet your Egyptologist and follow a smooth route that keeps walking moderate and storytelling vivid, with short pauses for photos and shade as needed.
Karnak Temple:
Enter a vast sacred precinct of pylons, courts, and the Great Hypostyle Hall while your guide connects dynasties, obelisks, chapels, and the Sacred Lake; it’s the perfect opening to your day tour to Luxor from El Gouna and sets the scene for the rest of the city’s story.
Break for a relaxing lunch at a Nile-view restaurant—time to recharge and enjoy classic river scenery before crossing to the West Bank.
Valley of the Kings:
Walk into the royal necropolis where vibrant reliefs and sacred texts guide pharaohs through the afterlife; as part of our Luxor Day Tour from El Gouna, your visit typically includes a selection of open tombs that showcase color, craft, and myth at their finest.
Queen Hatshepsut Temple:
Terraces rise cleanly from the cliffs at Deir el-Bahari, blending bold architecture with a dramatic setting; see scenes of divine birth and Punt reliefs while your guide explains the queen’s legacy and style.
Colossi of Memnon:
Two monumental statues of Amenhotep III watch over the fields—ideal for wide-angle shots and a final look at Luxor’s scale and serenity before the return drive.
After the visits, relax in your private A/C vehicle for the trip back to El Gouna, wrapping up a well-paced day rich with highlights and stories.
