A journey that stays with you

Give Luxor more time on a private two-day trip from Hurghada. Explore the east and west banks, stay overnight and plan a sunrise hot air balloon experience before continuing your sightseeing. Choose your accommodation package, with lunch on both touring days and breakfast after the overnight stay.

What makes this journey different

The overnight format separates the long transfer from part of the sightseeing and makes room for an early balloon programme. Flights depend on weather, aviation approval and the operator’s suitability checks. A sunrise slot is planned, but an exact launch time or flight cannot be guaranteed. Your written confirmation should explain the arrangement if the flight cannot operate. The hotel or guesthouse is confirmed before booking; the package name alone is not a reservation at a particular property.
