You begin your day on the peaceful shores of the Red Sea, and by afternoon, you’re walking in the footsteps of pharaohs through temples, tombs, and colossal statues that have stood for over 3,000 years.
This full-day group excursion offers the perfect balance of comfort, history, and value. Within 12 to 16 hours, you’ll experience the most iconic monuments of ancient Luxor — from the grandeur of Karnak Temple to the mysterious Valley of the Kings, the elegant Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, and the timeless Colossi of Memnon. For travelers staying in Soma Bay, this is the most efficient and enriching way to explore Egypt’s ancient capital without needing an overnight stay.

Travel Time: Around 4–6 hours each way by air-conditioned coach or minivan, with rest stops along the route.
Price Guide: Group tours typically start around $65–$80 / €65–€80 per person, depending on group size and operator.
Best For: History lovers, families, and budget-conscious travelers who want to see Luxor’s highlights in one well-organized day.
Luxor is not just a destination — it’s a living museum. While you could spend weeks exploring its temples and tombs, a group day tour captures the essence of the city in a single, carefully planned itinerary.
For an affordable price, you’ll enjoy round-trip transport, expert Egyptologist guidance, entry to key sites, and a local lunch — all arranged seamlessly. You’ll travel with like-minded explorers and benefit from the guide’s storytelling, which brings ancient hieroglyphs and royal legends vividly to life.
Whether it’s your first visit to Egypt or your tenth, standing among the columns of Karnak or inside the tomb of a pharaoh is an experience that never fades.
The Temple of Karnak is the world’s largest religious complex and one of ancient Egypt’s most awe-inspiring sights. Built and expanded by successive pharaohs for over 2,000 years, its Great Hypostyle Hall — with 134 massive columns — remains one of the wonders of human architecture.
Walking through its avenues of sphinxes and sacred lakes, you can almost hear the echoes of priests performing ancient rituals to honor Amun-Ra.
This sacred necropolis was the final resting place of Egypt’s pharaohs during the New Kingdom. You’ll enter three tombs, each uniquely decorated with vivid wall paintings and hieroglyphs that narrate the pharaoh’s journey to the afterlife.
Among them lie the tombs of Tutankhamun, Ramses III, and Seti I, each revealing the art, belief, and grandeur of Egypt’s golden age.
The Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut is a masterpiece of symmetry and elegance, built into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari. It celebrates Egypt’s most successful female pharaoh — a woman who ruled as king.
With its terraces, colonnades, and reliefs, the temple feels timeless, offering breathtaking photo opportunities against the desert backdrop.
Before leaving Luxor’s West Bank, you’ll stop at the Colossi of Memnon, two massive statues once guarding the entrance to a long-lost temple. Standing over 18 meters high, these ancient sentinels have witnessed the rise and fall of empires — and remain one of Luxor’s most photographed icons.
Early Morning (Pre-Dawn): Pickup from your Soma Bay hotel in a comfortable, air-conditioned coach. A short rest and coffee stop are made en route to Luxor.
Mid-Morning: Arrival at Karnak Temple. Guided tour of the complex, exploring the Hypostyle Hall, Sacred Lake, and Amun precinct (around 1–1.5 hours).
Late Morning: Cross the Nile River to the West Bank. Stop for photos at the Colossi of Memnon and continue to Hatshepsut’s Temple for a guided exploration.
Midday: Enjoy a freshly prepared lunch at a local restaurant, sampling authentic Egyptian cuisine.
Afternoon: Visit the Valley of the Kings and explore three tombs included in your entry ticket. Optional upgrade for entry to special tombs such as Tutankhamun’s.
Evening: Depart Luxor and begin the return drive to Soma Bay, arriving back at your hotel late in the evening.
Rest well before your trip; the day starts early and runs long.
Wear comfortable walking shoes, a hat, and sunscreen — most sites offer little shade.
Carry cash (Egyptian pounds) for small tips and local purchases.
Bring a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated throughout the day.
If you’re into photography, morning light at Karnak Temple is ideal for stunning shots.
