Ancient Thebes in a day from your El Gouna hotel, with an Egyptologist, lunch and a choice of royal valleys.
Ancient Thebes, today's Luxor, holds temples and royal tombs that people cross the world to see, and you can reach it in a day from your El Gouna hotel. Each trip covers Karnak Temple and the Temple of Hatshepsut, with a photo stop at the Colossi of Memnon. The big choice is the valley: the Valley of the Kings for the tombs of the pharaohs, or the Valley of the Queens for queens and princes.
How do you like to travel? On the classic day trip you join a group with an Egyptologist, entrance tickets and lunch at a local restaurant. The mini group keeps it small, with no more than 6 guests in a shared minibus, and adds water, cola and snacks. Both bring you back to El Gouna in the evening after a long and rich day.
For the most memorable start, take the balloon trip. A shared hot air balloon lifts off at sunrise over the Nile Valley, and after landing you visit the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut and Karnak with your guide. Expect an early start; our team sends the exact pickup time by WhatsApp or Telegram after booking. Some optional tombs, such as Tutankhamun's tomb, need a separate ticket.
