Private Full-Day Tour in Luxor From Safaga

Cairo Top Tours' experienced representative will pick you up from Safaga port and take you to Cairo in a modern air-conditioned automobile. As soon as you get in your automobile, sit back and relax while your guide talks you through each step of the 3-hour ride to Luxor. Once in Luxor, the head explores the legendary Karnak Temples, the largest temple complex ever built and the best example of worship in human history. Discover how the complex was built from the beginning of the Middle Kingdom to the Greco-Roman Kingdom. Inside the complex, there is an astonishing "Hypostyle Hall" that is a beautiful forest of huge pillars.

We will visit the Luxor Temple, which honours Amun-Ra, Mut, and Khonsu as the Theben Triad. The granite statues of Ramses the Great are found there. Visitors to Luxor must see these historic sites.

After lunch, visit a neighbouring restaurant before heading to the West Bank of the Nile to see Amenhotep III's two massive sculptures (the Colossi of Memnon). Next, visit the famed Valley of the Monarchs, which contains the graves of ancient monarchs. Admire these intricately built tombs, which are buried deeper into the desert rock and filled with treasures for the pharaohs' afterlife.

The complicated system in the Valley of the Kings is Ramesses III's tomb, often known as KV 11. The exquisite embellishments include colourfully painted recessed reliefs depicting Ramses before the gods and ancient ritual writings (such as the Litany of Ra and the Book of Gates). The secular paintings portraying foreign donations, such as exquisitely detailed ceramics imported from the Aegean, the royal armoury, boats, and, in the final of these side chambers, the blind harpists who gave the tomb one of its variant names, "Tomb of the Harpers," are rare in this location.

Continue on to the Deir el-Hatshepsut Bahari Temple. This majestic temple honours Queen Hatshepsut, Egypt's only female pharaoh. The temple rises from the surrounding desert plain in a series of terraces before blending into the high limestone cliffs.

Following that, we will visit the Mummification Museum in Luxor, which is located north of the Luxor Temple on the Nile Corniche. The museum's mission is to highlight the procedures used in the ancient Pharaonic art of mummification, which the ancient Egyptians utilised on a range of creatures other than humans. Return to Safaga Port to conclude your vacation.
