Day Tour by Air from Sharm El Skeikh to Luxor

One of the most memorable Sharm El Sheik day excursions is a flight to Luxor and a visit to the city's main attractions in just one day. This exclusive Egypt day trip starts on the East Bank of the Nile, which allows tourists to tour Karnak Temple, the major sightseeing place in Luxor, well known for its mammoth columns carved with the finest hieroglyphics, and a great religious center in ancient Thebes. Then head for the softly lit buildings of Luxor Temple, an iconic building of New Kingdom architecture and a treat among things to do in Egypt—making it a true highlight of any Egypt tour.

Cross the Nile for a scenic drive through Egypt's history: Enter the Valley of the Kings, the famed resting place of the pharaohs, including Tutankhamun. Breathtakingly decorated tombs are carved deep into the cliffs here. The awesome mortuary temple of Hatshepsut, nestled among desert cliffs, is nearby, dedicated to one of Egypt's most powerful female rulers. A full-day Sharm El Sheikh day tour that mixes a little convenience with a lot of wonder, catering to the best things to do in Egypt, and a must for anyone wanting to see the best attractions in Luxor with ease from Sharm El Sheikh.

Your Sharm El Sheikh day trip starts with a hotel pickup, then you will head to Sharm International Airport for your flight to Luxor. where a local representative of Luxor will warmly welcome and assist you. You will proceed to the 

Karnak Temple :

Karnak Temple with a guide-Egyptologist recommended for a more insightful experience-who brilliantly explains one of the greatest examples of Egyptian worship to the god Amon, his wife Mut, and their son Khonsu.

Lunch will be served at a local restaurant. After that, the journey continues to the world-famous

Valley of the Kings:

Hidden among the rugged cliffs of Egypt's Theban desert, this necropolis was used as the final resting abode for pharaohs and New Kingdom nobility. The Valley of the Kings is famed for its richly decorated tombs, one of which is the tomb of Tutankhamun almost intactly discovered in 1922.

Then, you will visit the spectacular

Temple of Queen Hatshepsut: 

Situated under the giant cliffs of Deir el-Bahari on the Nile's west bank, this superb structure stands in memory of and falls victim to the ambition and legacy of one of Egypt's most prominent female pharaohs. The Temple of Queen Hatshepsut stuns with a very rare terrace design, perfect symmetry, and detailed reliefs showing scenes of her divine birth, trading expeditions, and other accomplishments.

Colossi of Memnon:

For about 3,000 years, these two gigantic stone statues hovered over the Theban plains near Luxor. The Colossi of Memnon overlooked the entrance to the mortuary temple of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, whose remains have virtually withered away with time. Tall enough to stand 18 meters, each statue is carved from single blocks of sandstone and shows the king in a seated position, with hands on knees, gazing eastwards down the Nile.

Finally, transfer to the Luxor airport for your return flight back to Sharm El Sheikh-after a full day enjoying luxurious sightseeing of unmatched historical treasures of Luxor. The Sharm El Sheikh day tour and day trip offer effortless and elegant access to some of the world's greatest ancient wonders.
