Luxor Tour from Sharm - 1 Day Excursion

Luxor Excursion

Where as Cairo has the great pyramids, Luxor's most spectacular site is arguably the Valley of Kings. This is where for nearly 500 years the kings of the New Kingdom were buried in great tombs constructed especially for them along with their treasures to take with them to the after-life. The tombs were decorated with amazing scenes from Egyptian mythology and give clues to the beliefs and funerary rituals of the period.

As well as the Valley of the Kings, our excursion to Luxor by Plane will also take you to see spectacular temples such as the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut which is considered one of the "incomparable monuments of ancient Egypt".

The Plan

We will pick up from your hotel in the early morning and transfer you to Sharm el Sheikh airport, from here you will fly to Luxor where upon arrival you will be met by our English speaking tour guide who will join you during your day tour in Luxor. We pride ourselves on our fantastic guides, which are all very friendly and knowledgeable, just read through our reviews to see what people have said about them!

Valley of the Kings

You will start the tour of Luxor by crossing over to the West Bank to visit the Valley of Kings where, for a period of nearly 500 years from the 16th to 11th century BC, amazing tombs were constructed for the Pharaohs and powerful nobles of the New Kingdom of Egypt. The valley is known to contain 63 tombs and chambers ranging in size from a simple pit to a complex tomb with over 120 chambers.

Temple of Queen Hatshepsut

Widely considered one of the "incomparable monuments of ancient Egypt", the Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut is located beneath the cliffs at Deir el Bahari on the west bank of the Nile near the Valley of the Kings.

Colossi of Memnon andthe Alabaster Institute

The Colossi of Memnon are two massive stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III. For the past 3400 years they have stood in the Theban necropolis, across the River Nile from the modern city of Luxor. The 2 massive structures always leave our guests asking our tour guides the same question - how did they do it?

Then back to the East Bank to fresh up and have lunch and visit Luxor temple followed by a visit to the perfume shop.

After an amazing day in Luxor you will then be transferred to Luxor airport and fly back to Sharm where upon landing you will be met by your driver to be taken back to your hotel.

Luxor by Plane from Sharm One Day Trip - Excursion

We booked 4 trips with sharm excusrsions paying just 10% deposit & the balance on arrival. I found them very friendly, well organised and professional. Our guides were very knowledgeable and frienly and took great care of us throughout the trips, a BIG thank you to "H", Mohay(my family),Muhammed & everyone whose names I forget, Our holiday in Egypt was awesome, the trips were something else, this place has definately got the WOW factor, the Pyramids in Cairo, the Valley of the Kings and the Karnak Temple in Luxor are absolutely breath taking, " how did they do that?" We will never know, one thing I do know is they are spell binding as they stand today, one can only imagine their true beauty and splendour in their heyday.

Our other two trips took us into the desert with a camel ride & Bedoin tea, a great experience, but the best fun I've had in years was the quad bikes, FANTASTIC, loved every second and still talking about it.

I would recommend this site to anyone who is looking to book trips during their stay in Egypt not only will you be well looked after you will pay a lot less with these guys than you will with your rep.

Hi Sharm Excursions ,
We recently used your company for 3 excursions we had whilst we holidayed in Sharm El Sheikh , Egypt . The first was a 1 day trip by plane to Luxor ( 02/12/09 ) . This was a fantastic trip and our guide John ( sunflower ) was terrific . His knowledge was excellent and although we never got a visit to the valley of the kings this was an excursion we will remember forever . The only dissappointing part was the lunch ( the chicken we and other guests in our party received was not properly cooked ) but overall we had a tremendous day and all thanks to John once again .
The second was a trip to St Catherines Monastery ( 05/12/09 ) and although our guide was good the time we spent there was not enough although it was sufficient enough to see all in the area . We went shopping to Dahab but once again the meal was not of a very good standard but this was not our guides fault .
Our last trip with your company was a day trip by plane to cairo ( 10/12/09 ) . This trip was memorable as well . We had another very good guide in Abdul and his knowledge was very good also . The trip to the Egyptian Museum was not long enough but this is understandable as it is a very busy place . We then had a trip on the nile to our restaurant THE FISH BOAT and this was of a very high standard indeed . Then it was onto the pyramids at Giza and the Sphynx . This was a sight to see and well done to our guide for taking some fantastic photos of my wife and I and other members of our party .

I would have no hesitation in using Sharm Excursions again and you must be commended for the knowledge and friendliness of the guides you use ( especially John ) .Also to Mido who came to our hotel ( sunrise island gardens ) and gave us all our travel details and supervised our travel to and from the airport .
If you send me the link i will leave a review on your website along with some photos we took on our trips and some Abdul took .
regards
James Kenneth Smith

Luxor by Plane from Sharm One Day Trip - Excursion

I booked this trip on the internet an had no problems the reps and transport were where they said they would be at the time stated.The guide whose name nobody could pronounce so he said to call him John, was very good and very knowledgeable about Egyptology.We did the nile boat trip and enjoyed Banana island.The only downside was the restaurant where we had lunch because the food was crap.Also we would have liked to have spent more time at Karnak Temple and less waiting time at the airport for the return journey.

Luxor by Plane from Sharm One Day Trip - Excursion

We booked a trip with SharmExcursions and had a perfect time. Our guide, Yahia - or John as he liked to be called, was great... a really knowledgeable guy who showed us around at a great pace and was always full of stories. We had a great day and saw the sites of Luxor at a relaxed pace, which was needed as we were in nearly 49 degree heat. We would recommend taking a scarf to cover you neck and head, and it can be unbearable at times. The food for lunch was good, and in a good location. Highlights of the day were the obvious sites of Valley of Kings and the Temple, but Karnak was something special and the stop at Banana Island was amazing. The final part of the day was a tour on horse and cart around the city of Luxor, which is welll worth doing. Originally John said the price for the tour was was 120LE per person, but he managed to drop it down to 100LE per horse and cart. We would thoroughly recommend this, and if you managed to tour with John, you will find a very friendly knowledgeable guide.

Luxor by Plane from Sharm One Day Trip - Excursion

The trip to Luor was fantastic! we were a small group of 8 for which I think we made the most of having the guide all to ourselves!!! His name was Zahid and He really knows his stuff and worked really hard even though we visit Luxor during Ramadan.
A big thanks to Mohamed who is very profesional and also agreed to refund us the money we payed to visit Petra as I (Rob) was not felling well for few days before the trip.

We would travel with you again to Luxor!

Luxor by Plane from Sharm One Day Trip - Excursion

I booked this trip from the UK - feeling nervous that I was paying a deposit for something and may never hear from the company again! Needless to say I needn't have been worried. Everything was organised extremely efficiently and myself and my family went on our 1 day tour to Luxor in April 2010 - John was our guide. He was full of interesting information and was a fantastic guide, spoke english fluently and because there were a total of 6 in our group our trip was tailoured to our needs. It was extremely hot but an amazing day. Thank you Sharm Excursions but particularly John - he definately deserves more work and a pay increase!
