Take an unforgettable trip to the Nile Valley, Luxor, Dendera, Abydos and discover ancient Egyptian treasures forgotten by many tour operators today. Follow in the footsteps of the ancient pharaohs and learn the history of over two thousand years of historical events up to the period of Cleopatra.

⏰ Morning – Pick-up from your hotel. Drive approx. 230 km via Safaga through the desert landscape to the Nile Valley in Luxor.

🏛️ Habu Temple (Medinet Habu): The magnificent memorial temple of Ramses III – one of the largest and best-preserved temples in Egypt, with extraordinarily vivid painted reliefs. A highlight of any 3 day Luxor tour from Hurghada.

👑 Valley of the Queens: The royal necropolis of the queens and children of the pharaohs – including the tomb of Queen Nefertari, considered the most beautiful tomb in Egypt.

🏺 Valley of the Nobles: Two tombs of high officials decorated with vibrant scenes of everyday life in ancient Egypt – flowers, harvests and feasts preserved for millennia.

🍽️ Lunch at a local restaurant on the West Bank – included.

🚢 Nile motorboat crossing to the East Bank – approx. 30 minutes of beautiful river scenery.

🏛️ Karnak Temple – 3 full hours: The largest temple complex in the world. Your Egyptologist will take you deep into its hypostyle hall of 134 columns, the sacred lake, the Avenue of Sphinxes and the chapels of multiple gods. Three hours gives you the time to truly absorb it.

🍽️ Lunch in East Luxor – included.

🚗 Drive north towards Abydos – the holiest city in ancient Egypt, where every pharaoh came to pay homage to Osiris, god of the afterlife.

🏛️ Temple of Osiris at Abydos (Temple of Seti I): Built by Seti I around 1290 BC, this is where the canonical laws of Egyptian art and architecture were first established. Its painted reliefs are among the finest ever created – colours so vivid they appear freshly painted. The famous Abydos King List, recording 76 pharaohs in succession, is here.

🍳 Breakfast at the hotel.

🌟 Dendera Temple Complex (Temple of Hathor): The best-preserved temple complex in Egypt, dedicated to Hathor – goddess of beauty, love and magic. In ancient times this was the centre of astronomical research in Egypt.

🔭 The Dendera Zodiac: On the second floor of the temple, the famous circular zodiac ceiling – a complete map of the ancient Egyptian sky. The version here is better preserved than the original now in the Louvre in Paris.

🕯️ The Crypts: Hidden underground chambers with some of the most mysterious and detailed carvings in Egypt – including the famous Dendera light reliefs.

🍽️ Lunch – included.

🚗 Return journey to Hurghada.

🏛️ 3 Days Luxor, Dendera & Abydos Tour from Hurghada – Habu Temple, Valley of the Queens, Karnak, Luxor Temple by night, Temple of Osiris at Abydos & Dendera Temple of Hathor. Private Egyptologist, hotels, all meals & transfers included.

Payment is made in cash when picked up in:

“We had been to Karnak and the Valley of the Kings before, so we chose this tour for something different. Abydos was a revelation – the colours in the Temple of Seti I look freshly painted. The Dendera Zodiac on day three was unlike anything I have ever seen. Three extraordinary days.”

“Luxor Temple by carriage at night on day one set the tone for the entire trip – magical. Three hours in Karnak on day two gave us the time to properly understand the scale of it. And Dendera on day three was simply breathtaking. Our Egyptologist was outstanding every single day.”

“The hidden crypts at Dendera were the most mysterious thing I saw in all of Egypt. The underground chambers with their detailed carvings feel completely untouched. Three days, three cities, three completely different temple experiences. No shopping stops, no rushing – perfect.”
