What you'll see and do
Temple of Medinat Habu
Day 1: El Gouna Luxor Early morning, we will pick you up from your hotel in El Gouna by a private A.C. Car to be transferred to Luxor for an overnight trip to Luxor from El Gouna. Upon arrival you will meet your private tour guide who will join you to visit: Madinat Habu temple : In ancient times Madinat Habu was known as Djanet and according to ancient belief was the place was Amun first appeared. Both Hatshepsut and Tuthmosis III built a temple dedicated to Amun here and Later Rameses III constructed his larger memorial temple on the site. First Pylon – the temple of Rameses III During his time Djanet became the administrative center of Western Thebes. The whole temple complex was surrounded by a massive fortified enclosure wall, with an unusual gateway at the eastern entrance, known as the pavilion gate. This structure, a copy of Syrian migdol fortresses is something you would not expect to see in Egypt. Rameses III, a military man probably saw the virtue in such a structure.

Ramesseum (Mortuary Temple of Ramses II)
Ramsseum: Ramesseum, funerary temple of Ramses II (1279–13 BC), erected on the west bank of the Nile River at Thebes in Upper Egypt. The temple, famous for its 57-foot (17-meter) seated statue of Ramses II (of which only fragments are left), was dedicated to the god Amon and the deceased king. The walls of the Ramesseum, which is only about half preserved, are decorated with reliefs, including scenes depicting the Battle of Kadesh, the Syrian wars, and the Festival of Min

Valley of the Artisans (Deir el-Medina)
Deir El Madina The main cemetery of the royal workmen at Deir el-Medina is situated to the west of the village, on the slope of the Theban hills. Most of the tombs were built during the 19th dynasty. Some of them are impressive in their decoration and size. By the time of the 20th dynasty, the tombs had been turned into family tombs in which the descendants of the original owners were buried. Little alterations were made apart from the addition of another subterranean burial chamber. The lower courses of the eastern hill of Qurnet Murai were the site of burials of babies and children. More than a hundred children were buried in common domestic pottery jars or amphorae, in baskets, even fish baskets, in chests, boxes or in proper coffins there. The poorest burials were those of still-born babies. They contained no jewelry or amulets, only small vessels filled with food for the afterlife. The adults' graves were situated higher up. Many of these graves date from the 18th dynasty

Valle Delle Regine
The valley of The Queens The Valley of the Queens, also known as Biban el-Harim, Biban el-Sultanat, and Wadi el-Melikat, is a place in Egypt where wives of Pharaohs were buried in ancient times. In ancient times, it was known as Ta-Set-Neferu, meaning - 'the place of the Children of the Pharaoh', because along with the Queens of the 18th, 19th and 20th dynasties (1550-1070 BCE) many princes and princesses were also buried with various members of the nobility. The tombs of these individuals were maintained by mortuary priests who performed daily rituals and provided offerings and prayers for the deceased nobility. The valley is located near the better known Valley of the Kings on the west bank of the Nile across from Thebes (modern Luxor) . This barren area in the western hills was chosen due to its relative isolation and proximity to the capital.

Luxor
This necropolis is said to hold more than seventy tombs, many of which are stylish and lavishly decorated. An example of this is the resting place carved out of the rock for Queen Nefertari (1290-1224 BCE) of the 19th Dynasty. The polychrome reliefs in her tomb are still in tact. The ancient Egyptians gave it the name Set Neferu, meaning "seat of beauty". From 1903-1906 an Italian expedition discovered about eighty tombs, some of which belonged to children of royalty. Many were severely damaged having been burned and or reduced to being used as stables for donkeys and camels. One of the most well-known tombs is that of Nefertari, the best-loved of Ramesses II's numerous wives. In her honor, he built a beautiful temple at Abu Simbel.

2days Luxor, a trip to remember. Valleys, temples, transport and the balloon ride great!!!!
2 days Luxor from El Gouna with hot air balloon. A very nice experience, exhausting but definitely worth it. Picked up neatly on time and taken to Luxor, driver was very friendly despite his limited English language we could understand each other well. Met in Luxor by the Dutch-speaking guide Hussein. A smiling person who knew a lot about the temples and buildings. Because the visits went smoothly we had some time left on the 1st day, this was filled by a visit to a "banana island" with some wild animals. This was the only heavy flaw of the tour and we also advised the guide never to offer this to (ned.) tourists again. A single banana plant without bananas, and animals in captivity without any freedom of movement, pure animal cruelty. Also the carriage rides not recommended because of the skinny unkempt horses that were sometimes hurt a lot. What was offered by Egypt-Tour/Marsa Alam Tours was beyond expectations. The temples and valley with the necessary explanations, and the catered balloon ride just great and definitely recommended. A fairly expensive excursion so private with 2 but we would do it again in a heartbeat. We have become richer in many experiences, explanations and photos. Luxor itself and river "the Nile" are a dirty city and river, only where the tourists sit it is a bit tidy. Nile is full of garbage, carcasses and lots of plastic. All the people are throwing, wanting to see money and trying to lure you in. It may seem degrading, but total disregard is the best option.
Response from the operator: Bedankt voor je uitgebreide review. We zijn erg blij dat je de twee dagen in Luxor hebt genoten en dat de meeste aspecten van de tour je verwachtingen hebben overtroffen. We begrijpen echter je zorgen over het "bananen eiland" en de koetsritten, en we nemen je feedback hierover zeer serieus. Dierenwelzijn is voor ons van groot belang, en we zullen dit zeker aankaarten om ervoor te zorgen dat dergelijke ervaringen in de toekomst vermeden worden. Het is ook jammer dat je de staat van de stad Luxor en de Nijl als negatief hebt ervaren; we begrijpen dat dit soms kan tegenvallen, maar we hopen dat de schoonheid van de tempels, vallei en de ballontocht de overhand hebben gehad. Nogmaals bedankt voor je feedback en we hopen je in de toekomst weer een mooie ervaring te kunnen bieden. Met vriendelijke groet, Rana

Great 2 Days In Luxor
Well organised tour with an ontime pickup at the Hotel in El Gouna. Our Tour Guide Hoda joined us in Luxor and went with us to all major sites of Luxor. She has a great knowledge in the history of Egypt and a great English. Unfortunately it was too windy, so the hot air balloon got cancelled.

Special two days tour luxor from El Gouna: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.
How much does Special two days tour luxor from El Gouna cost?
+
Prices start at $286 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 Special two days tour luxor from El Gouna take?
+
Plan for about 48 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 Special two days tour luxor from El Gouna worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Hurghada, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Special two days tour luxor from El Gouna?
+
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 Special two days tour luxor from El Gouna suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Special two days tour luxor from El Gouna?
+
Around 1 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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Special two days tour luxor from El Gouna 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 Diving Adventure one Day with two Dives Boat Trip, Hurghada to Cairo: Pyramids & Museum for First-Time Visitors, Hurghada Scuba Diving Full Day Boat Trip With Lunch & Transfer. 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.
