From Hurghada to Luxor highlights Valley of Kings by Bus

Expect pickup early in the morning and transfer by air-conditioned coach to Luxor, where your guide meets you. First, explore the vast Temple of Karnak, with its wealth of chapels, temples, and pylons. Next, leave the city behind as you cross the Nile to the west bank and the famous Valley of the Kings, with 63 royal tombs dating back almost 4,000 years: The elaborate art that decorates their walls gives an insight into how Egypt’s rulers lived. Next, visit the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari, a tribute to Egypt’s gender-bending female pharaoh. Cross back to the east bank and relax with a buffet lunch in a local restaurant. Finish with a visit to an alabaster factory before your coach drops you back at your hotel.
