Day Trip to Luxor from Hurghada

In the morning, one of Cairo Top Tours' representatives will be waiting for you outside your hotel in Hurghada to take you in a private air-conditioned car to Luxor, where you will enjoy an unforgettable visit with one of the expert guides who will explain everything in detail.  

Your day will start in the Temple of Karnak, which is made up of a vast network of temples, including the magnificent palace of Amun, the palace of Mut, The palace of Montu in the north, the temple of Akhenaten, which is dedicated to the religious devotion of Aten, in the east, and Amun's wife in the south. The temple of Amun, which was constructed on an east-west axis, was designed to resemble the sun god's aerial flight. But this temple also includes a north-south axis that links it to another Amun-focused temple south of Thebes called the Temple of Luxor. The Feast of the Opt, one of the most significant festivals, was held on a ceremonial causeway connecting the two temples that was decorated with sphinxes.

The next step in our excursion will be the Temple of Luxor, which was not built by a single king. The core of the temple was constructed during the reign of Amenhotep III (c. 1390–1353 BC), while the oldest building was a cottage from the time of Queen Hatshepsut (c. 1473–1458 BC). The Divine Birth Scenes, a collection of scenes in one of the inner chambers, depict the king's ancestry to the god Amun-Ra himself. A colonnaded hall with a colonnaded courtyard in front is located in the middle of the temple. The colonnaded corridor, which has two rows of seven columns each, was also constructed by Amenhotep III. It was finished under the rule of King Tutankhamun (c. 1336–1327 BC) and King Hor Mahab (c. 1323–1295 BC), and it was embellished with scenes from the Feast of the Opts.

The final activity you should undertake before departing Egypt is the light and sound display within the beautiful Karnak temple. From Luxor, you may travel to these majestic monuments and see the performance in one trip. Take in the splendor and history of the Karnak Temple while admiring Luxor's music and light show.  A must-see for anyone on one of our Luxor day excursions is the Karnak Temple, one of the biggest religious buildings ever constructed, as well as the Sound and Light Show. The temple is given a new perspective by the performance's lively lighting and real Egyptian music, which visitors can experience.

In the end, we will drive you back to your Hurghada hotel.
