Private two days trip to Luxor, Abydos and Dendera from Soma Bay — two full days of temple majesty, private Egyptologist narration, a luxury overnight, and the rare chance to stand in the shadow of Seti I and the goddess Hathor without the crowds.
Duration: 2 days / 1 night
Price: From €220–€400 per person (varies by group size / hotel class).
Pickup: Early morning from your Soma Bay hotel; private air-conditioned vehicle.
Best for: History lovers, photographers, travelers wanting comfortable private transfers and an expert Egyptologist.
You’ll see Luxor’s showstoppers (Karnak, Luxor, Valley of the Kings) plus the quieter, deeply atmospheric sites of Dendera (Hathor’s temple) and Abydos (Seti I and the Osireion) — the latter often feels like a pilgrimage site rather than a tourist stop.
A private certified guide brings the carvings to life: the Abydos King List, Hatshepsut’s unique mortuary program, the Dendera Zodiac — expect real stories, not rote facts.
Rather than a rushed day, this itinerary spreads the highlights over two days with a relaxed overnight in Luxor — time to absorb, photograph, and enjoy a Nile-view dinner.
Comfortable shoes (temple stones are uneven), sunhat, sunscreen, sunglasses, small daypack, and a refillable water bottle.
Tombs involve steps and low ceilings — those with serious mobility issues should check accessibility. Bring any necessary meds and alert your guide to concerns.
Photography rules vary: some tombs restrict tripods or require a camera permit (€5–€20). If you want to enter Tutankhamun’s tomb, plan for the extra ticket.

Morning: Depart early from Soma Bay. Arrive in Luxor and begin at Karnak Temple — walk through the Hypostyle Hall and Sacred Lake.
Late morning: Visit Luxor Temple and imagine how the Opet Festival once linked these sites.
Afternoon (West Bank): Cross to the Valley of the Kings — visit three tombs (option to add Tutankhamun’s tomb for an extra fee). Continue to Hatshepsut’s Mortuary Temple (Deir el-Bahari) and the Colossi of Memnon.
Evening: Check in to your hotel (3–5★ options). Optional: Karnak Sound & Light show or a relaxing Nile-side dinner.
Morning: Drive from Luxor to Dendera (~1–1.5 hrs). Explore the immaculate Temple of Hathor, notable for its detailed ceiling and the Zodiac of Dendera.
Afternoon: Continue to Abydos (Seti I Temple) — admire the Abydos King List and the haunting Osireion, one of Egypt’s most mysterious monuments. Lunch en route; return to Soma Bay in the evening.
Q: How long is the driving time from Soma Bay to Luxor?

Q: Is the tour suitable for children?
