2-Day Luxor Tour with Hot Air Balloon Ride from Hurghada

Embark on an unforgettable 2-day adventure to the heart of ancient Egypt with our Luxor tour from Hurghada, crowned by a magical hot air balloon ride over Luxor at sunrise. This unique journey offers you the chance to explore the wonders of Luxor by land and air — from monumental temples to breathtaking views above the Nile Valley.

Day 1 – Explore the East & West Banks of Luxor

Your experience begins early in the morning with a comfortable drive from your hotel in Hurghada to Luxor. Upon arrival, a Polish-speaking Egyptologist guide will lead you on an enriching cultural tour of Luxor’s most iconic landmarks.

• Karnak Temple: Start the day by discovering the vast Karnak Temple complex, one of the largest religious structures ever built, dedicated to the god Amun. Wander through the Great Hypostyle Hall with its 134 massive columns and admire ancient inscriptions.
• Lunch on the West Bank: Enjoy a delicious Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant overlooking the Nile River.
• Hatshepsut Temple: Next, explore the magnificent mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut, one of Egypt’s few female pharaohs. This temple is carved directly into the cliffs and stands as a testament to her unique reign.
• Valley of the Kings: Step into history as you visit the royal necropolis where pharaohs such as Ramesses III, IV, and IX were laid to rest. Walk through ancient tombs adorned with colorful hieroglyphs and sacred scenes from the afterlife.
• Colossi of Memnon: Finish your day with a photo stop at the towering twin statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III.

Optional: A Nile felucca boat ride to Banana Island is available for an additional $12, offering a relaxed experience surrounded by natural beauty and exotic fruit trees. After a full day of exploration, you’ll check in at a comfortable 4-star hotel in Luxor. Enjoy dinner and relax for the night. Please make sure to request a breakfast box from the hotel reception for the next morning.

Day 2 – Magical Hot Air Balloon Ride & Return to Hurghada

Prepare for a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Around 3:30 AM, you’ll be transferred to the balloon launch site. With professional English-speaking organizers, you'll float gently over Luxor’s ancient wonders as the sun rises — capturing panoramic views of the Nile, the Valley of the Kings, and majestic temples below. The balloon flight lasts approximately 45–60 minutes and offers incredible photo opportunities and unforgettable memories. After landing, you’ll have time to relax before starting your journey back to Hurghada. You are expected to return to your hotel around 14:00–15:00 PM.
