Hurghada: Luxor Tour with Valley of the Kings & Tutankhamun Tomb
See Luxor's greatest sites in one day from Hurghada - Karnak, the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut's temple and the Colossi of Memnon, ending inside the Tomb of Tutankhamun. Egyptologist guide, lunch, transfers and every entrance fee included - even KV62, which most tours charge extra for.
Overview
Cross the Eastern Desert at dawn and trade the Red Sea coast for the world's greatest open-air museum. This full day from Hurghada takes you straight to the heart of ancient Thebes - Karnak Temple, the Valley of the Kings, and the golden tomb of Tutankhamun himself.
Travel by air-conditioned minivan with an expert Egyptologist guide. Walk the towering Great Hypostyle Hall of Karnak Temple, pause for lunch at a local Luxor restaurant, then cross to the West Bank where Egypt's pharaohs were laid to rest. Stand before the cliff-carved Temple of Queen Hatshepsut and the giant Colossi of Memnon.
The day builds to its highlight: KV62, the Tomb of Tutankhamun. Step into the burial chamber that lay sealed for over 3,000 years until its discovery stunned the world, and see the boy-king's resting place where his treasures were found untouched.
Hotel pickup and drop-off, fast-track entry tickets, lunch and your Egyptologist guide are all part of the price - Tutankhamun's tomb included, not an extra. Free cancellation and reserve-now-pay-later keep your plans easy. You'll drive back to the Red Sea coast having stood where a boy-king was laid to rest three thousand years ago.
