Here, you will explore the renowned Valley of the Kings, the resting place of many pharaohs. Notable tombs include those of King Tutmosis I, Tutmosis III, Tutankhamun, King Ramesses VI, King Merenptah, and Amenhotep II.
- Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari - Next, visit the magnificent Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, constructed by the queen herself, the daughter of Thutmosis I. She ruled Egypt for approximately 20 years during the 18th Dynasty (1490-1469 B.C.) and was the only female pharaoh to reign over ancient Egypt.

Luxor day trip from cairo. Special thanks to our guide - Mr Carlos and driver - Mr Philip. - I recently took a day trip from Cairo to Luxor, and it was absolutely worth every moment. Luxor, often referred to as the “world’s greatest open-air museum,” is a treasure trove of ancient Egyptian history, and exploring it in a day was an exhilarating experience.
The trip started with an early morning flight from Cairo to Luxor, which was quick and comfortable. Upon arrival, our guide greeted us and whisked us off to our first stop: the Karnak Temple Complex. Walking through the towering columns of the Great Hypostyle Hall was awe-inspiring. The sheer scale and intricate carvings were breathtaking, and our guide’s in-depth explanations added so much context to the experience.
Next, we visited the Valley of the Kings, the resting place of Egypt’s pharaohs. Exploring the richly decorated tombs, including the famous tomb of King Tutankhamun (for an extra fee), felt like stepping back in time. The vivid colors and detailed hieroglyphics inside the tombs were incredibly well-preserved, leaving us in awe of the ancient craftsmanship.
Afterward, we stopped at the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, an architectural masterpiece nestled against the cliffs. The temple’s unique design and the story of Egypt’s iconic female pharaoh made this visit truly special.
We enjoyed a delicious lunch at a local restaurant with stunning views of the Nile, featuring traditional Egyptian dishes like grilled meats, fresh bread, and flavorful dips.
Our final stop was the Colossi of Memnon, two massive statues that have stood watch over the West Bank for thousands of years. They were the perfect photo opportunity and a serene way to wrap up the day. We also went to the temple of ramses III & finally ended it with the visit to the temple of luxor.
The organization of the trip was seamless, and despite the packed itinerary, it didn’t feel rushed. The return flight to Cairo in the evening gave us just enough time to reflect on the incredible history we had witnessed.
If you’re visiting Egypt, a day trip to Luxor is an absolute must. It’s a long day, but experiencing these legendary sites in person is something I’ll never forget. Highly recommend!

Mixed opinion - Excursion to Luxor – mixed experience
The excursion itself remains unmissable: the sights visited are mythical, impressive and absolutely worth a visit. It is an outing to make at least once in your life.
However, our experience was tarnished by the behaviour of the French-speaking guide Farid. He seemed to favour some people in the group based on their appearance, and had an inappropriate attitude towards one participant by repeatedly referring to her as a “fiancee” – a joke that quickly became heavy and insistent.
Another negative point: a “boat ride on the Nile” was proposed to us during the excursion. Presented as a great opportunity, it eventually turned out to be a €20 option, which had not been specified to us at the time of purchase. After refusing, the guide became unpleasant and sidelined me and my brother for the rest of the day.
In short: the sights of Luxor are incredible and worth the trip, but the organization and especially the behavior of the guide leave frankly to be desired.
