Also, you can get the chance to explore the capital of the pharaohs, Egyptian history, and its majestic architectural heritage: the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Karnak, the Colossi of Memnon, and the Temple of Hatshepsut.
Watch the Egyptian Open Museum. Luxor is like a museum open to everyone who wanders through its streets. Make this trip one of Egypt day tours and do not miss this wonderful opportunity to learn about the landmarks of Luxor. There are many attractions in Luxor that you can visit during your Egypt trip to Luxor and enjoy.
Hurghada excursions allow you to spend a full day in Luxor, learn about its ruins, and tour its cities, all with the help of your tour guide from Happy Egypt. Enjoy some of the best things to do in Luxor during your trip.
Your guide for the trip will arrive at your hotel in Hurghada and pick you up at the starting point of the trip early in the morning. Take a pleasant car ride to Luxor and there you will be met by your professional guide for an enriching experience through the remarkable Egyptian sites.
Start your tour in the Valley of the Kings, the royal tombs of the New Kingdom Pharaohs, which boast beautifully carved tombs with well-illustrated wall paintings and magical texts. Visit three out of the most well-preserved tombs, each of which demonstrates the culture and the southern beliefs of ancient Egypt.
Secondly, move to the breathtaking Temple of Hatshepsut, which is locally known as El Deir El Bahary. This very special temple is actually built in a terraced fashion and is dedicated to the great queen Hatshepsut, who ruled Egypt.
It is time for a photo stop at the considered ancient statues of two Colossi of Memnon or according to their official name, the statues of Amenhotep III. Stop your tour at the Karnak Temple Complex, the largest temple complex ever created for worship.
Then, visit Sphinx Alley; enter the temple of Amon with the 134 giant standing columns; the sacred lake; and the obelisks. After all the wonderful and historical sites seen, your private driver will return you back to Hurghada to end this great experience.

The tour was very organised and they meet what was planned. Communication was also very clear, from the planning to during the tour. We would like to highlight that we enjoy the tour guide they assigned to us in Cairo, and the driver in Luxor.

Happy Egypt organised for our family (parents and children aged 16-21) a made-to-measure tour of Egypt.
We started after a day break on the red sea and were leaving from Cairo. Happy Egypt organised everything for us: schedule, transfers, hotels, visits, entries, … as well as a super friendly very knowledge and professional guide whose role in making our holiday amazing was undeniable.
The tour took into account our desire to have family time, but also see the sites when they would be quieter, to have explanations during the visits yet free time to also look at our own pace, and overall, all were met.
Boat was very small (as per our wishes) with a crew that could not have done more for us. Water always available in taxi, boat, etc. No hassle from anyone, just pure pleasure.
If we were to return, there is nothing we would change and we will recommend this company to any of our friends who plan such a holiday: big thank you from all of us.
Thank you Ahmed, thank you Mostafa.

We booked a tour in Dahabiya from Aswan to Luxor. It was gorgeous. The boat was only for us. The crew, Mahmud the manager among them, was very obliging, the food was fantastic and the guide Mahmoud was an excellent archaeologist, very didactic and patient. We had a wonderful time with him, enjoying every moment. He selected the better places to see everything, he answered any question we did and always in good mood. I recommend this experience. Probably we will repeat with another part of the family.

This was such a fun experience for my whole family. We were picked up early morning at 4:30 by the balloon company arranged by Ahmed our agency owner. What followed after that was a series of pickups and boat transfers on the Nile to go to the West Bank. The excitement was palpitating and we were in awe to see a collection of all hot air balloons getting ready to take off. It was an unforgettable experience to see the whole city and right at sunrise, the view was breathtaking. Am so glad we did this.

When I started to plan the trip from Aswan to Luxor ( 4 days 3 nights cruise) , I got prompt response and quotation from Happy Egypt through whataspp, which facilitated me to make decision and planning.
We chose the MS May Flower Cruise which accommodations are clean, new and tidy. The services on the cruise was excellent with helpful and friendly staff.
I am provided with a very knowledgeable guide , Hany, who could introduce all the sightseeing points well and took care of us well.
The trip to Abusimbel was unforgettable.
The sail on Nile River with felucca was nice and enjoyable.
We also booked additional trip to Nibican Village , where the beautiful colorful houses catched our eyes.
The company also provided us a free wifi router.

We were a group of eight, three couples and two friends. I started our planning the trip by getting quotes from several companies,but Ahmed was able to provide the best value for our group.
We started our trip in Cairo and we're met at the airport where our visas were already in his hands and he was able to walk us through one of the long lines out to our driver who took us to the Cairo Marriott (last year we stayed at Marriott Mena House with Pyramid views).
Saturday morning our driver Kareem and guide Yousseff took us to Giza Pyramid Complex, lunch and then the Eygpt Museum.
Sunday we toured Islamic and Coptic Cairo, then lunch and shopping at KhanKhalily bazaars.
Monday morning we flew to Luxor and we're met by our guide Mohammed Hasan. We toured Karnak Temple and then boarded our ship the MS Esmeralda to check in and have lunch. That evening we toured Luxor temple.
Over the next four nights we were impressed by the knowledge that our guide, Mohammed Hasan gave us during the tours of the West bank of Luxor, Valley of the
Kings, Hatshepsut Temple & Colossi of Memnon, Abu Simbel, Philadelphia Temple and Eygpt overall.
All of our group was impressed with the quality of service, tour schedule and most of all our guides.
Mohammed Hasan as an Egyptologist has 21 years of experience. One of the group members was in his third trip to Eygpt and said Mohammed was far superior than the other guides he had.
From start to end everything was coordinated very well by Ahmed the owner of the agency. We really enjoyed the mobile hotspots he provided because it helped to stay connected.
Can't wait for our next trip with them.

We had a private 3-day tour around Luxor, Aswan and Abu Simbel.
The organization was perfect and so was the guide, Mahmoud, who made sure we were enjoying it and provided many tips on places to visit and eat.
Highly recommended!
