We took the full day trip from Hurghada to Luxor and the wind almost blew my hat off at the Colossi of Memnon. Our guide Ahmed grabbed it just in time. He was so quick. We then visited the Valley of the Kings and went inside three tombs. The colors on the walls were still so bright. Karnak temple was massive and we walked through the hypostyle hall. The Temple of Hatshepsut was incredible built into the cliff. The drive from Hurghada was long but the van was comfortable. The guide explained everything clearly and answered all our questions.
