Colossi of Memnon
Standing tall on the west bank of the Nile, the "Colossi of Memnon" are two massive stone statues that have watched over the ancient city of Thebes for more than 3,400 years. These iconic monuments represent "Pharaoh Amenhotep III", and originally stood at the entrance of his long-lost mortuary temple. Each statue rises over 18 meters (60 feet) high, carved from single blocks of sandstone brought from quarries near Cairo—an astonishing feat of engineering in the ancient world. Despite centuries of weathering, earthquakes, and erosion, the Colossi remain a powerful symbol of Egypt’s grandeur. Steeped in myth and mystery, one of the statues was said to "sing" at dawn during the Roman era, drawing visitors from across the empire. Today, the site is a must-see stop on any West Bank tour of Luxor, often visited alongside the "Valley of the Kings" and the "Temple of Hatshepsut".

As you walk through its levels, you'll encounter beautifully preserved reliefs and inscriptions that depict Hatshepsut’s divine birth, her successful trade expeditions to the Land of Punt, and her reign of peace and prosperity. More than just a temple, this site tells the story of ambition, political power, and divine legacy. Its design was ahead of its time, influencing generations of Egyptian architecture, and it continues to awe visitors with its scale and elegance. "Temple of Hatshepsut" is a must-see destination for travelers seeking to uncover the depth and sophistication of ancient Egyptian civilization.

Why this scores 72
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Day Tour from Hurghada to Luxor Valley of the Kings: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Safaga.
How much does Private Day Tour from Hurghada to Luxor Valley of the Kings cost?
+
Prices start at $25 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Safaga usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Day Tour from Hurghada to Luxor Valley of the Kings take?
+
Plan for about 13 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 Safaga is not rushed.
Is Private Day Tour from Hurghada to Luxor Valley of the Kings worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Safaga, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Day Tour from Hurghada to Luxor Valley of the Kings?
+
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 Private Day Tour from Hurghada to Luxor Valley of the Kings suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 13-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Private Day Tour from Hurghada to Luxor Valley of the Kings?
+
Around 3 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 Safaga 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 Safaga and add a light layer if any part of the 13-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Day Tour from Hurghada to Luxor Valley of the Kings 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 Safaga 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 Safaga?
+
On Outty we rank every Safaga experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Horse Riding & Camel Beach,Desert, Swim,Sunrise & Sunset-Hurghada, Dolphin House Full Day Snorkeling Cruise With Lunch – Hurghada, Orange Bay Giftun Island Snorkeling Cruise With Lunch – Hurghada. 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 Safaga?
+
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 Safaga?
+
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.
