Early in the morning, our tour leader will pick you up from your cruise ship at Safaga Port in a private air-conditioned vehicle to begin your journey to Luxor — the perfect start to an unforgettable Egypt tour.
Upon arriving in Luxor, you’ll meet your private tour guide who will join you for an incredible Egypt shore excursion through the ancient city. Your first visit will be to the magnificent Karnak Temple, the largest religious complex ever built. Spanning 247 acres, it features a vast network of main temples, smaller sanctuaries, and impressive outer structures, all reflecting centuries of pharaonic achievement.
Next, explore the famous Valley of the Kings, the final resting place of Egypt’s most legendary pharaohs, including Ramses II and the young King Tutankhamun. This stop is a must-see for anyone passionate about ancient history and a true highlight of your Egypt shore excursion.
Thereafter, you’ll proceed to the intriguing temple of Hatshepsut, famous for being one of the most beautiful temples and best-preserved ones within Egypt's territory. It sits on three levels, connected by glorious ramps with a wonder of architecture dedicated to the most renowned woman pharaoh in the history of Egypt.
Before the end of the day, the Memnon colossi will also be visited: two gigantic stone statues of King Amenhotep III. For these ancient gigantic statues that are said to guard the land, they were supposed to have been part of a vast mortuary temple, one that was transported at least 700 kilometers from Cairo all the way to Luxor.
In the evening, you have the option to attend the Sound and Light Show at Karnak, an immersive way to experience this legendary site after dark.
Later, you’ll catch your flight to Cairo, where you’ll be transferred to a 5-star hotel for an overnight stay, continuing your enriching Egypt shore excursion from Safaga Port.
