📖 Full Tour Description

🏛️ Day 1 – Explore the Ancient City of Luxor

Your adventure begins with pick-up from your hotel in Soma Bay and a comfortable drive to Luxor.
Upon arrival, you’ll start your discovery of the West Bank:

• The Colossi of Memnon – the giant stone statues guarding the entrance to the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III.
• Temple of Queen Hatshepsut – a breathtaking monument dedicated to Egypt’s most powerful female pharaoh.
• The Valley of the Kings – explore the ancient burial ground of pharaohs, including the Tomb of Tutankhamun.

After a morning filled with history and exploration, enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant.

In the afternoon, visit the magnificent Karnak Temple Complex, one of the largest religious structures ever built, and take time to shop for souvenirs and handmade crafts.

After a full day of exploration, you’ll check into your 5-star hotel in Luxor, where you can relax and recharge.
In the evening, you may choose to explore the city on your own or attend the optional Sound & Light Show at the Karnak Temple.

🌅 Day 2 – The Magical Hot Air Balloon Flight

Wake up early for the highlight of your trip!
Your guide will pick you up and take you across the Nile by felucca (traditional sailboat) to the West Bank, where your hot air balloon will be ready.

As the balloon gently lifts off, you’ll witness the sunrise over Luxor, bathing the temples, valleys, and river in golden light.
Float peacefully above the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut, and the ancient city below — an awe-inspiring experience you’ll never forget.

At the end of the flight, you’ll receive a certificate and a souvenir T-shirt to commemorate your adventure.

After landing, enjoy breakfast and then visit the Luxor Temple, located on the east bank of the Nile — once connected to Karnak Temple by the Avenue of the Sphinxes, now beautifully restored.

Finally, you’ll begin your return journey to Soma Bay, where a comfortable transfer will take you back to your hotel.
