Ancient Wonders by Day — Sunrise Views from the Sky
If you’ve ever dreamed of seeing Egypt from above — while standing on the ground where history was made — this tour brings you both. Spend two full days exploring Luxor’s most iconic sites, including Karnak and Luxor Temples, the Valley of the Kings, and the majestic Temple of Hatshepsut. And to top it off? A sunrise hot air balloon ride over the Nile’s west bank.
This experience blends adventure with culture, temples with tombs, and stories you won’t hear anywhere else — all guided by someone who knows them by heart.
Day 1 – Temples of the East Bank
We’ll start early — around 5:00 AM, we’ll pick you up from your hotel in Hurghada and begin the drive to Luxor. The scenery changes as we leave the coast behind and move into the Nile Valley — where green fields meet golden desert.
Our first visit is to the great Karnak Temple. This isn’t just a temple — it’s a city of stone, built over 2,000 years. You’ll walk beneath massive columns, see sacred carvings, and learn how pharaohs expanded the site with each new dynasty.
From there, we head to Luxor Temple, located right in the city center. This temple once connected to Karnak by the Avenue of Sphinxes, and it still carries the energy of ancient festivals and ceremonies.
🕰 Highlights:
- Karnak Temple – Walk through the largest religious site from ancient Egypt
- Luxor Temple – A mix of history, beauty, and city life
- Avenue of Sphinxes – Glimpse the once-grand procession road
After exploring both temples, we’ll enjoy lunch at a local restaurant, then check you into a 5-star hotel. The evening is yours — rest, relax, or take a walk along the Nile.
Day 2 – Sunrise Flight & West Bank Treasures
We’ll start before dawn — and it’s worth it. After checking out of your hotel, we’ll cross the Nile to meet your balloon team. You’ll watch the sun rise as your hot air balloon lifts off, giving you sweeping views of the Valley of the Kings, the green farms by the river, and the golden cliffs that once hid Egypt’s most famous rulers.
Back on land, your guide will take you deep into the Valley of the Kings. You’ll explore three royal tombs included in your ticket, each one carved into the mountain and covered in colorful hieroglyphs. If you’d like to enter Tutankhamun’s tomb, tickets can be bought at the site.
We’ll then visit the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, a bold, beautiful structure built into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari. This is one of the most unique temples in Egypt — and a tribute to the most powerful woman to ever rule the land.
Finally, we’ll stop at the Colossi of Memnon, two massive statues that have guarded the west bank for more than 3,000 years.
🕰 Highlights:
- Hot Air Balloon Ride – See Luxor from above as the sun rises over ancient lands
- Valley of the Kings – Visit three tombs with rich artwork and deep history
- Temple of Hatshepsut – A grand and graceful monument to Egypt’s great queen
- Colossi of Memnon – Stand beside the last remains of Amenhotep III’s mortuary temple
After lunch, we’ll begin our return drive to Hurghada. You’ll arrive in the evening — tired, maybe, but with a heart full of stories and moments to remember.
