The world's greatest open-air museum
The day begins before dawn — hotel pickup at 5:00am, flight from Sharm International at 6:00am. By 8:00am you're stepping out at Luxor Airport with a certified Egyptologist guide ready to take you west across the Nile. The Valley of the Kings comes first, while the morning is still cool. You'll enter three royal tombs — vivid hieroglyphic paintings that have survived 33 centuries underground.
Queen Hatshepsut's colonnaded temple rises dramatically from the limestone cliffs before lunch at a Nile-view restaurant. The afternoon belongs to Karnak — 2.5 kilometres of hypostyle halls, obelisks, and sacred lakes. If time allows, the final stop is Luxor Temple at golden hour, when the stone glows amber. You return to Sharm between 9:00 and 10:00pm, having seen more pharaonic history in a single day than most people see in a lifetime.

Luxor Day Trip from Sharm — Common Questions
How do you get from Sharm El Sheikh to Luxor for a day trip?
The only practical route is by plane — direct charter and scheduled flights operate from Sharm International Airport to Luxor International Airport in approximately 50–60 minutes. Our day trips include return flights, so no logistics are needed on your end. An overnight bus to Luxor is possible but takes 10+ hours each way, making it impractical for a day trip.
Can you visit the Valley of the Kings from Sharm El Sheikh in one day?
Yes, absolutely. A typical flight-based day trip departs Sharm airport at 6:00–7:00am and arrives Luxor by 8:00am. You'll have 7–8 hours in the city, which is enough to visit the Valley of the Kings (3 tombs included), the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut (Deir el-Bahari), Karnak Temple, and Luxor Temple. Return flights land in Sharm by 9:00–10:00pm.
What is included in a Luxor day trip from Sharm El Sheikh?
Our all-inclusive packages include: return flights, Luxor airport transfers, an English or Russian-speaking Egyptologist guide, entry to the Valley of the Kings (3 tombs), Karnak Temple, Queen Hatshepsut's Temple, and Luxor Temple. Lunch at a Nile-view restaurant is included. Mummification Museum optional add-on.
How much does a Luxor day trip from Sharm El Sheikh cost?
Flight-based day tours start from $149 per person all-inclusive. The price varies depending on flight availability and group size. Private tours with a dedicated vehicle and guide start at $199. Groups of 4+ receive a 10% discount automatically.
Is Luxor worth visiting for just one day?
Luxor is often called the world's greatest open-air museum — and even a single day reveals why. The Valley of the Kings alone contains 63 discovered royal tombs. Karnak is the largest religious complex ever built. Most travellers who visit for one day return for a longer stay. If you only have one day, Luxor delivers more ancient history per hour than almost any other destination on Earth.
