This tour from Hurghada to Luxor gives you two full days in Egypt’s ancient capital. On Day 1 you visit Karnak Temple, the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, the Valley of the Kings and the Colossi of Memnon, then spend the night at a hotel in Luxor. On Day 2 you wake up before dawn and float over the temples in a hot air balloon as the sun rises over the Nile and the West Bank.

Whether you love history, adventure, or simply want to see Egypt from a perspective few travelers experience, this trip gives you both: the great monuments up close on the ground, then the whole of ancient Thebes from the sky.
