Quick but complete visit to Luxor from Hurghada

For those who want to visit the best of Luxor, mainly its archaeological sites, this is the tour for you. Ms Laila knows a lot about the topic and the place and the transport is great (and A/C'd, very important!!)

Fantastic day in Luxor

Beautiful experience departing from Hurghada. First stop Karnak Temple, then we crossed the Nile with the typical Luxor boat and ate at a characteristic restaurant. After lunch, visit to the Valley of the Kings and the Hatshepsut Temple. Our guide, Dr. Mammudh, was very thorough, always present, and very kind. Highly recommended!
