2 Day Trip to Luxor from Hurghada — Frequently Asked Questions
What's the advantage of the 2-day trip over the one-day tour?
Two days let you see far more at a relaxed pace: both the East and West Banks with proper time at each site, an overnight stay in Luxor, and the option of a sunrise hot air balloon flight — which simply isn't possible on a single-day trip.
What is the itinerary for the two days?
Day one usually covers the West Bank — the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut, and the Colossi of Memnon — followed by check-in at your hotel. Day two covers the East Bank with Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple before the drive back to Hurghada.
Is the hotel included, and what kind of hotel is it?
Yes, one night's accommodation with breakfast is included, typically in a 4- or 5-star hotel in Luxor. Upgrades and Nile-view rooms are available on request at an extra cost.
What else is included in the price?
The package includes hotel pickup and drop-off in Hurghada, transport in an air-conditioned vehicle, a licensed Egyptologist guide, entrance fees to the listed sites, one night's accommodation with breakfast, and lunch on both days. Drinks, tips, and optional extras are not included.
Can I add a hot air balloon ride?
Yes — and this is the main reason many travelers choose the 2-day option. The balloon takes off at sunrise on the morning of day two and floats over the West Bank, the Valley of the Kings, and the Nile. It's booked as an optional extra.
How long is the drive from Hurghada to Luxor?
The drive is about 280–300 km and takes around 4 hours each way through the Eastern Desert in an air-conditioned vehicle, with comfort stops along the route.
Is the tomb of Tutankhamun included?
No. Tutankhamun's tomb requires a separate ticket purchased on site. The standard Valley of the Kings ticket includes three other royal tombs, and your guide will help you choose the most impressive ones.
Can I add a Nile felucca ride or a sound and light show?
Yes. A felucca sailing trip on the Nile, a visit to Luxor Museum, and the evening Sound and Light Show at Karnak Temple can all be added on the free evening of day one.
Is the trip suitable for families and older travelers?
Yes — much more so than the one-day tour. The overnight stay removes the exhausting 16-hour day, so families with children and older travelers can enjoy the sites at a comfortable pace with a proper rest in between.
What should I pack for the two days?
Bring an overnight bag with a change of clothes and toiletries, light comfortable clothing, closed walking shoes, a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, and cash for tips, drinks, and optional tickets. Modest clothing is appreciated at temples.
Is it a private or group tour?
Both options are available. Group tours share a minibus and are more affordable, while private tours give you your own vehicle, guide, and a flexible itinerary so you can adjust the schedule to your interests.
Can I cancel or reschedule my booking?
Yes. Free cancellation is generally available up to 48 hours before departure since hotel rooms are reserved in advance, and rescheduling is possible at no extra cost subject to availability.

August 5, 2026Nous avons réservé le 2 Day Trip to Luxor from Hurghada et ce fut le point fort de notre séjour en Égypte. Le véhicule était propre, climatisé et confortable même sur les longs trajets. Pour ce prix, le rapport qualité-prix est excellent. Vivement recommandé, surtout si vous avez peu de temps en Égypte.

July 8, 2026We booked the 2 Day Trip to Luxor from Hurghada and it turned out to be the highlight of our trip to Egypt. The vehicle was clean, air conditioned and comfortable even on the longer stretches. The whole team were warm and welcoming and nothing ever felt like a hard sell. Highly recommended, especially if your time in Egypt is short.

June 24, 2026J'ai fait ce circuit avec ma femme et nous sommes tous les deux ravis de ce choix. Le véhicule était propre, climatisé et confortable même sur les longs trajets. Notre guide parlait un très bon anglais et expliquait l'histoire sans nous noyer de détails. Merci à toute l'équipe pour son accueil.

April 15, 2026The 2 Day Trip to Luxor from Hurghada was easy to book and even better in person than it looked online. For what we paid, the value was outstanding compared with other tours we looked at. Timings were planned so that we reached the main sites before the crowds arrived. If you are weighing this one up, just book it.

April 4, 2026Ho fatto questo tour con mia moglie e siamo entrambi felicissimi della scelta. Per quello che abbiamo pagato, il rapporto qualità-prezzo è eccellente. La nostra guida parlava un inglese ottimo e spiegava la storia senza appesantire. Una delle giornate più belle della vacanza.

March 18, 2026Zarezerwowaliśmy tę wycieczkę i była to najlepsza część naszego pobytu w Egipcie. Krajobrazy i świątynie robią jeszcze większe wrażenie niż na zdjęciach. W stosunku do ceny to bardzo dobra wartość. Dziękujemy całemu zespołowi za opiekę.

February 1, 2026Ho fatto questo tour con mia moglie e siamo entrambi felicissimi della scelta. Il mezzo era pulito, climatizzato e comodo anche nei tratti più lunghi. Il ritiro è stato puntualissimo e l'autista era prudente e tranquillo nel traffico. Lo prenoterei di nuovo senza pensarci.

For what we paid, the value was outstanding compared with other tours we looked at. The sites themselves were even more impressive than the photos suggest. Well organised from start to finish.

December 7, 2025I travelled solo on the 2 Day Trip to Luxor from Hurghada and never once felt out of place or rushed. Lunch was generous, freshly prepared, and they handled our dietary requests without any fuss. The whole team were warm and welcoming and nothing ever felt like a hard sell. Highly recommended, especially if your time in Egypt is short.
