Luxor day trips and tours

Luxor stands on the site of ancient Thebes and is often called the world's greatest open-air museum. The East Bank has Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple. The West Bank has the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut and the Colossi of Memnon.

We run day trips to Luxor from Hurghada by bus or van and from Marsa Alam, a day trip to the temples of Dendera and Abydos, a 2-day trip with a sunrise hot air balloon ride, and longer tours that continue to Aswan and Abu Simbel.

Distance from Hurghada
About 290 km, around 4 hours each way by road.
Best time to visit
October to April. Visit the temples early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the heat and the crowds.
