It is easy to go from Hurghada to Luxor to see the Valley of the Kings from Hurghada. Journey time from Hurghada to Luxor is about 4 hours each way. Luxor sits approximately 310km south west of Hurghada in an area of Egypt know as ‘Upper Egypt’. The modern city of Luxor is located on the site of ancient city Thebes.

Then there is the larger than life Karnak Temple.
To help you discover Luxor we offer Hurghada To Luxor day trips and Hurghada to Luxor private transfers
Things To See In Luxor
Book a Hurghada to Luxor day trip and we manage the logistics of your day, including seeing Valley of the Kings from Hurghada. However, book a one way transfer to spend more time in Luxor and we recommend you pre plan your itinerary. This is because there is so much to see and do in Luxor. Plus, you will want to make sure that your schedule doesn’t need you to keep crossing the Nile River. Both Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple are located on Luxor’s East Bank. Both sites can get very busy. If you have the chance to visit at night you definitely should. Luxor Temple looks quite magestic at night when the whole complex is underlit with a golden glow. The West Bank is home to Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut Temple. Whilst these are the big ticket items, there is so much more to see on both sides of the river. Plus, you can take a felucca along the river too.
Luxor: The Nile River
The Nile River is not just any river; it’s often called the “gift of the Nile” for good reason. This is because for thousands of years, annual flooding left fertile silt on the land. Resulting in rich soil, packed with nutrients essential for growing crops. Whilst annual flooding no longer happens, sustainable farming methods ensure the land keeps on giving. As a result, the land in Upper Egypt around Luxor is well known for some of the best farming in Egypt. Because of this you will find the local markets in Luxor overflowing with tasty local produce. Including bananas, super sweet mangoes and sugar cane. When you visit Luxor and cruise along the Nile River on a felucca, do remember the important role of the Nile. Book a Hurghada to Luxor day trip and you can include a felucca ride on the Nile at Luxor.
