10-Hour Luxor Tour from Sharm El Sheikh by Flight

On the morning of your Luxor Tour from Sharm El Sheikh, one of our tour representatives will meet you at your hotel at around 04h30. You will then be transferred to Sharm El Sheik Airport in time for you to board a flight to Luxor. On arrival at Luxor, one of our Expert guides and a driver will be there to meet and assist you, and then your Luxor Tour from Sharm El Sheikh will begin in earnest.

The first half off your tour takes place on Luxor’s East Bank. During this part of your tour, you will visit both Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple. Although not much remains of the original Karnak Temple complex, there is still so much to see. The original temple was dedicated to Amon, his wife Mut and their son Khonsu. Several pharaohs made alteration and added extensions over a period of more than 2,500 years. To this day, it is believed to have been the largest place of worship ever constructed.

After you have visited these two remarkable ancient attractions on the East Bank, you will then be taken for lunch at a good local restaurant. Lunch is included in the price of your Luxor Tour from Sharm El Sheikh. Once you have finished enjoying your lunch, it will then be time for your Luxor West Bank tour to begin.

Your first stop will be at the famous Valley of the Kings. This was a vast royal burial ground where pharaohs and other royalty were buried during the New Kingdom era. Certain other highly privileged people were also buried here. Unlike earlier pharaohs who favored pyramids, New Kingdom pharaohs favored excavated tombs.

The most famous tombs in this ancient necropolis are those that belonged to King Tutmosis I, King Tutmosis III, King Tutankhamen, King Ramssess VI, King Mrenptah and King Amonhotep II. While several tombs are open to visitors, some require special admission tickets which can only be purchased at the site.

Tutankhamen’s tomb is one of the tombs that require a special ticket. However, people who are hoping to see inside his tomb need to be at the site almost at the crack of dawn. There is a huge demand to see inside his tomb, resulting in extremely long queues.

Next, your guide will take you to see the spectacular mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut. No Luxor Tour from Sharm El Sheikh would be complete with a visit to this vast rock-carved temple. Interestingly, it was constructed by the same tradesmen who were responsible for constructing and decorating the tombs in the Valley of the Kings.

Finally, after a truly unforgettable day, your Expert guide and driver will transfer you to Luxor Airport in time for you to board your flight back to Sharm. When you land at the airport in Sharm, our tour representative and driver will be waiting for you, and then you will be transferred back to your hotel. Your Luxor Tour from Sharm El Sheikh has now come to an end, but this will have been a day that you will remember forever.
