What to bring
Luxor is often called the world’s largest open-air museum — its name comes from the Arabic al-Uqsur, “the palaces”. The Nile divides it into the east bank, the City of the Living, and the west bank, the City of the Dead. Two days let you see far more than a single day trip.
Day one
The Temple of Hathor at Dendera, goddess of love and beauty, famous for its painted astronomical ceilings. Then Karnak, the largest temple complex of ancient Egypt, built over some 2,000 years, a boat across the Nile, lunch by the river, the Colossi of Memnon and the terraced Temple of Hatshepsut.
Day two
After a night in Luxor (with an optional sunrise balloon flight) you visit the Luxor Temple and the Avenue of Sphinxes, then cross to the west bank for Medinet Habu, the fortified temple of Ramesses III with its battle reliefs, and the Tombs of the Nobles, whose paintings show everyday life in ancient Egypt.

I recently had the pleasure of joining the two-day Luxor and Dendera tour from Hurghada with WOW Travel Service, and it exceeded all my expectations. It gave a rich, all-round experience of the historic wonders of Luxor and Dendera. The itinerary was well planned and covered every iconic site, from the breathtaking Temple of Hathor at Dendera to the magnificent Karnak temple complex — each stop felt like a journey into ancient Egyptian history. The knowledgeable guides brought every site to life, making the trip both educational and great fun.

I had an incredible tour of Luxor thanks to Said! The day was packed with amazing sights — the Temple of Hathor, Karnak and the Colossi of Memnon. The boat ride and lunch overlooking the river made it even more special, and Said's arrangements made it better still. Highly recommended!
