Best Private Full-Day Tour in Luxor From Safaga port

In the early morning, a professional representative will wait for you outside Safaga port to pick you up and start your adventure in Luxor, then we will transfer you to Luxor in a modern and air-conditioned vehicle.

Once you arrive in Luxor, your first stop will be the Karnak Temples. Karnak Temple is an extensive ancient Egyptian temple complex located on the east bank of the Nile River in Luxor (ancient Thebes). It was the largest religious site ever constructed and served as the main center of worship for the god Amun-Ra, along with his divine family, Mut (his wife), and Khonsu (their son). Karnak was not just one temple — it was a city of temples, covering about 200 acres and built over 2,000 years, from the Middle Kingdom (around 2000 BC) to the Ptolemaic period (around 30 BC).

After our fantastic visit to Karnak, our next stop will be the Luxor Temple. Luxor Temple is a majestic ancient Egyptian temple complex located on the east bank of the Nile River, in the heart of the modern city of Luxor (ancient Thebes). It was built around 1400 BC and committed to the Theban Triad, the gods Amun-Ra, Mut, and Khonsu.

Then, proceed to a nearby restaurant to have a delicious lunch before travelling to the West Bank of the River Nile to see the two enormous sculptures of Amenhotep III (Colossi of Memnon). After that, visit the famous Valley of the Kings. The Valley of the Kings is an ancient royal burial site located on the west bank of the Nile River in Luxor, opposite the Temple of Karnak and Luxor Temple. It performed as the royal necropolis for the New Kingdom pharaohs (1550–1070 BC), including some of the most legendary rulers in history, like Tutankhamun, Ramses II, and Seti I. Instead of building giant pyramids, the kings of the New Kingdom chose to hide their tombs deep inside the mountains to protect them from tomb robbers.

The complex system in the Valley of the Kings is the tomb of Ramesses III. The tomb reflects the majesty and architectural knowledge of Egypt’s 20th Dynasty. It's long halls and richly decorated rooms with colourful scenes from ancient Egyptian funerary texts, such as the Book of Gates and the Book of the Dead, showing the pharaoh’s journey to the afterlife. The graphic wall reliefs show the king with different gods, representing protection and lasting life. Visitors can still admire the beautifully kept details, making the Tomb of Ramesses III one of the most impressive sites to explore during any Luxor day tour.

Then, to the Deir El-Bahari Temple or Temple of Hatshepsut. The only female pharaoh, Queen Hatshepsut, is honoured in this majestic temple. In a series of terraces, the temple appears from the surrounding desert plain and blends into the vertical limestone cliffs. The site served as a royal mortuary complex, where pharaohs and nobles of the Middle and New Kingdoms (c. 2000–1000 BC) built temples dedicated to the gods and to their own religious worship after death.

After that, finish your historical adventure by visiting the Mummification Museum in Luxor, which is north of the Luxor Temple on the Nile Corniche, aiming to highlight the methods used in the ancient Pharaonic art of mummification, which the ancient Egyptians used on a combination of creatures in addition to humans.

After finishing this visit, return to Safaga Port to finish your excursion and final departure.
