About This Trip
Leave Sharm before sunrise and land in Luxor in time for breakfast, where your Egyptologist guide is waiting — and three thousand years of history laid out in stone. Your morning belongs to , the largest religious complex ever built, where the Hypostyle Hall's forest of towering columns still makes visitors go quiet. From there you cross to the West Bank and descend into the , where pharaohs were buried with painted ceilings and hieroglyphs so vivid they look freshly done, even after millennia underground. Prefer a guide just for you? Choose the private tour option: an all-inclusive day with entrance fees, lunch and a private guide included. As the afternoon fades, you'll board your return flight, back in Sharm by evening with a day's worth of Egypt's ancient capital behind you — and your beach chair waiting.
