Pickup instructions

Luxor Full-Day Private Tour from Hurghada Step back in time with HurghadaToGo and uncover the wonders of Ancient Egypt on this unforgettable full-day private Luxor tour. Known as the world's largest open-air museum, Luxor is home to nearly a third of the world's ancient monuments — and with your own private guide and vehicle, you'll explore it entirely at your own pace. Pickup & Departure Your private HurghadaToGo vehicle will collect you directly from your hotel lobby at approximately 04:00 AM — we'll confirm the exact time with you the evening before via WhatsApp, based on your hotel's location and road conditions that day. Since this is a private tour, pickup is scheduled around your group only, with no waiting on other guests. Your driver will be easy to identify with a HurghadaToGo name sign, and our team stays reachable by phone throughout in case your pickup point needs last-minute adjustment (villa, marina, or a different hotel entrance, for example). As we head toward Luxor, you'll cross the desert with brief, driver-timed stops for rest, breakfast, and routine security checkpoints — paced to your group, not a fixed busload schedule. Upon arrival, you'll meet your expert Egyptologist guide, dedicated to your group for the day, who will bring the fascinating history of ancient Egypt vividly to life. Explore the magnificent Karnak Temple, the largest temple complex ever built. During your guided visit, discover its towering columns, sacred lake, and colossal statues while learning about the powerful pharaohs who shaped its legacy — with the flexibility to linger wherever interests you most. Next, cross the legendary Nile River to the West Bank and enjoy a delicious open buffet lunch at a local restaurant overlooking the river — a perfect moment to relax and recharge. After lunch, visit the Alabaster Artisan Village, where skilled craftsmen believed to be descendants of the original tomb builders demonstrate traditional stone-carving techniques — an excellent opportunity to purchase authentic handmade souvenirs. Continue to the breathtaking Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, an architectural masterpiece carved dramatically into limestone cliffs. Learn about one of Egypt's most powerful female pharaohs, Hatshepsut, and her remarkable reign. Your journey then leads to the legendary Valley of the Kings, the final resting place of Egypt's greatest rulers. Explore three royal tombs and gain deep insight into ancient burial rituals and beliefs from your private guide. Before heading back, stop at the impressive Colossi of Memnon — two massive statues standing guard over the Theban necropolis — perfect for memorable photos. After a full day of exploration with HurghadaToGo, relax on the private drive back to Hurghada, with a short break along the way. You'll arrive at your hotel around 9:00 PM, carrying unforgettable memories of walking in the footsteps of ancient kings and queens. Your Private Tour with HurghadaToGo This is a fully private HurghadaToGo experience, tailored exclusively for you, your family, or your partner. No other guests will join your group — just your own private vehicle, driver, and Egyptologist guide for the entire day. That means: Flexible timing at each site, at your pace A pickup window built around your hotel and schedule alone Complete privacy and personal attention throughout No waiting on other travelers to board or finish shopping
