In the morning, your OnTrip Egypt guide will pick you up from your hotel in Hurghada in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle to begin your full-day journey to Luxor. After a scenic drive across the Eastern Desert, you’ll arrive at Karnak Temple—the grandest temple complex of Ancient Egypt, where towering pillars, massive obelisks, and a vast sacred lake reflect centuries of devotion to the god Amun. Your guide will walk you through its hypostyle hall and share legends etched into its walls. Crossing the Nile to Luxor’s West Bank, you'll pause at the Colossi of Memnon—two imposing stone statues over 18 meters tall that have stood watch since the 14th century BC. The journey continues to the Valley of the Kings, burial ground of the New Kingdom pharaohs. Here, you’ll enter several tombs adorned with vividly preserved hieroglyphics and ancient art, including an optional visit to the world-famous tomb of Tutankhamun. A delicious lunch awaits at a quality local restaurant, featuring authentic Egyptian cuisine, before you begin the leisurely return to Hurghada, reflecting on a day steeped in history, storytelling, and unforgettable sights. Bottled water is provided throughout the tour for your comfort.
