Trip overview
Day Tour by Air from Sharm El Skeikh to Luxor
One of the most memorable Sharm El Sheik day excursions is a flight to Luxor and a visit to the city's main attractions in just one day. This exclusive Egypt day trip starts on the East Bank of the Nile, which allows tourists to tour Karnak Temple, the major sightseeing place in Luxor, well known for its mammoth columns carved with the finest hieroglyphics, and a great religious center in ancient Thebes. Then head for the softly lit buildings of Luxor Temple, an iconic building of New Kingdom architecture and a treat among things to do in Egypt—making it a true highlight of any Egypt tour.
Cross the Nile for a scenic drive through Egypt's history: Enter the Valley of the Kings, the famed resting place of the pharaohs, including Tutankhamun. Breathtakingly decorated tombs are carved deep into the cliffs here. The awesome mortuary temple of Hatshepsut, nestled among desert cliffs, is nearby, dedicated to one of Egypt's most powerful female rulers. A full-day Sharm El Sheikh day tour that mixes a little convenience with a lot of wonder, catering to the best things to do in Egypt, and a must for anyone wanting to see the best attractions in Luxor with ease from Sharm El Sheikh.
