Cairo and Luxor 2 Days Trip from Hurghada by Flight

Itinerary

Day 1: Hurghada, Cairo sightseeing, fly to Luxor

✅From your hotel in Hurghada, you will be picked up by air-conditioned private vehicle for transfer to Hurghada domestic airport for the flight to Cairo. Our trained Egyptologist already awaits you there.

✅Let’s go to our first stop of the tour in Cairo, with every known, fascinating pyramid of Giza. You will be astonished by the design of the tombs built more than 4500 years ago, about which the archaeologists still disagree on the origin and construction. From here you see our second target, the Sphinx. This half human half lion statue watches over the graves with its 20m height and 57m length with a view of the valley temple.

 ✅For refreshment, we serve lunch during a break in Cairo Afterwards, Tahrir Square, where the Egyptian revolution took place in January 2011 against Mubarak and his government, awaits you.

✅Here is the Egyptian Museum. Do you think the Museum visit will be boring?? Here certainly not. The Egyptian Museum with its approximately 150 000 objects will impress everyone. It is amazing how little tools were used to produce such precise work thousands of years ago. Let yourself be spellbound by the most well-known find; the grave contents of the child pharaoh Tutankhamun. At the moment, a new museum is under construction, as the old building can no longer present all the finds.

✅Before you get the chance to rummage in the oriental bazaar of the old town, we will show you the Christian part of the city with the unique “hanging church” which got its name from its construction in the former fortress walls and the Abu Serga, the place where the sacred Family protection from persecution Herod searched.

✅With the most beautiful impressions of Cairo, we drive to the airport of Cairo for the flight to Luxor, with direct transfer to your hotel.

Day 2: Luxor sightseeing, return to Hurghada

 ✅After your breakfast at the hotel, we start with our 2nd-day tour, the west bank. On it goes to Thebes (the name of Luxor in the time of the Pharaohs). We cross the Nile and get an idea of ​​the fertility of the bank along the Nile as we drive through sugarcane and banana plantations to visit the Valley of the Kings at the edge of the desert with its mountains. Here you visit some graves in which one can admire with fascination the still best-preserved murals with the stories to the lifetime of the Pharaons. The tombs of King Thutmosis I, the Tomb of Thutmose III, King Tutankhamen, King Ramses VI, King Merenptah and Amenhotep II are among more than 60 tombs.

 ✅Everyone has heard of Queen Hatshepsut. Its temple is perched high up in the mountains of the west bank, even lit up from the eastern shore in the evening. Climbing the terraces of the temple at the bottom of the hill gives you an idea of ​​the imposing structure of the temple of the only female pharaoh with over 20 years of rule over Egypt.

✅Time for a lunch break in a local restaurant in Luxor: Enjoy the Egyptian cuisine.

 ✅On the way back to the eastern shore, it’s still a shortstop to the Memnon colossi who are waiting there for more than 3400 years as a guard there.

✅Surely you know the famous Karnak temple complex, our next destination of the tour. This huge complex of 3 temples is one of the many amazing projects of ancient Egyptian architecture. From the beginning of construction to completion, it took several generations.

✅With the Karnak temple, you visit one of the largest religious buildings of antiquity. It is located on the east bank of the Nile as well as the Luxor Temple. Both temples were formerly connected by a long avenue, which today is largely restored by excavations.

✅You will have enough time to shop before the ride back to your hotel in Hurghada (end of the Cairo & Luxor 2 day tour including flight) starts.
