Colossi of Memnon
The Colossi of Memnon, also known as the statues of Memnon, are two enormous stone statues located in the Theban Necropolis on the west bank of the Nile in Luxor, Egypt. The statues, which are approximately 18 meters tall and weigh around 720 tons each, were built during the 14th century BC by Pharaoh Amenhotep III to guard the entrance of his mortuary temple. The statues were named after Memnon, a hero of the Trojan War in Greek mythology, due to the sound they produced when the sun's rays hit them at dawn, which the Greeks believed to be the sound of Memnon greeting his mother Eos, the goddess of dawn. This phenomenon is caused by the expansion of the stone as it heats up from the sun's rays, creating a series of vibrations that produce the sound. The Greeks believed that the sound was a sign that the statues were alive and began to visit them as a tourist attraction. Over time, the Colossi of Memnon became a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors from all over the world.

Valley of the Kings
The Valley of the Kings is a renowned archaeological site located on the west bank of the Nile River in Luxor, Egypt. It is one of the most significant and well-known historical monuments of the ancient Egyptian civilization, attracting thousands of tourists each year. The valley is a complex of narrow corridors and passageways leading to rooms carved into the rock, each of which served as the final resting place of a pharaoh from the New Kingdom period of ancient Egypt. The tombs in the Valley of the Kings were designed to be difficult to access and to prevent grave robbers from stealing the precious treasures and artifacts within. Some of the most famous tombs in the Valley of the Kings include the tomb of Tutankhamun, which was discovered in 1922 by British archaeologist Howard Carter and contained an incredible array of treasures, including the famous gold mask of Tutankhamun.

The Temple of Hatshepsut, built by the Egyptian Eighteenth Dynasty, is an impressive architectural marvel located on the west bank of the Nile. This magnificent temple features a unique design of 3 floors, adorned with colorful stone statues that exhibit its beauty and elegance. Apart from its exceptional design, the Temple of Hatshepsut is also renowned for its inscriptions, which depict the naval missions sent by Queen Hatshepsut to the country of Punt for trade and to bring back incense and myrrh. Incense was considered an essential offering to the gods by the Pharaohs of Egypt, and this is evident in the paintings on their temples, depicting the Pharaohs offering incense to various gods.

We had a very nice trip this month
We had a very nice trip this month with glamour tours to Luxor. The trip started at 3 o'clock in the morning. They collected all the convoy or the cruise together to move all the buses in one trip. Our bus was okay and fine. It was too hot in Luxor and they gave us a lot of water. We watched Luxor temple from outside and then we entered the karnak temple. We also visited Hatchshebsut temple and the valley of kings. We also visited the colossi we had also a very nice lunch.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted you enjoyed your full day in Luxor — from the magnificent Karnak Temple and Hatshepsut's Temple to the Valley of the Kings and the Colossi of Memnon, it truly is a journey through history like no other. We're glad our team kept you comfortable despite the heat, and that the lunch was a highlight too. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable experience with Glamour Tours Egypt!

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full Day Tour from Hurghada to Visit Luxor with Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.
How much does Full Day Tour from Hurghada to Visit Luxor with Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $40 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hurghada usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Full Day Tour from Hurghada to Visit Luxor with Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 14 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hurghada is not rushed.
Is Full Day Tour from Hurghada to Visit Luxor with Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hurghada, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day Tour from Hurghada to Visit Luxor with Lunch?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Full Day Tour from Hurghada to Visit Luxor with Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 14-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full Day Tour from Hurghada to Visit Luxor with Lunch?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hurghada can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hurghada and add a light layer if any part of the 14-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day Tour from Hurghada to Visit Luxor with Lunch start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hurghada within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hurghada?
+
On Outty we rank every Hurghada experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hurghada: Luxor Valley of the Kings & Tutankhamun Tomb Trip, Orange Bay Island, Luxury Cruise to Orange Bay and Hula Hula island Trip. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hurghada?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hurghada?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
