Overview

Your ship docks at Safaga and the road to Luxor opens up ahead, about 3 hours through the Eastern Desert to the greatest concentration of monuments in Egypt.

This is a private 2-day tour built for cruise passengers who want Luxor properly, not in a rushed dash. Day one is the East Bank and Karnak, the largest temple complex ever built. You overnight in a 5-star Luxor hotel with breakfast. Day two crosses to the West Bank for the Valley of the Kings, the temple of Hatshepsut, and the Colossi of Memnon, then back to your ship in good time.

Your licensed Egyptologist travels with you both days, with two lunches at traditional local restaurants included.

Ideal for Safaga cruise guests who would rather see Luxor with an expert than tick it off a list. Private, just your group.

Day by day itinerary

  1. 1Karnak Temple & East Bank, overnight in Luxor⌄

    You arrive in Luxor after the desert drive and step into Karnak, where a forest of 134 sandstone columns in the Great Hypostyle Hall rises above you, some standing 21 meters tall. Your Egyptologist walks you through 2,000 years of pharaohs who each added to the site, from the sacred lake to the avenue of ram-headed sphinxes. The evening is yours at a 5-star hotel with breakfast included.

    Nearby you visit Luxor Temple, the elegant riverside temple linked to Karnak by the avenue of sphinxes and beautifully floodlit at dusk.

  2. 2Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut & Colossi of Memnon, return to ship⌄

    Morning crosses the Nile to the West Bank, the land of the dead for ancient Thebes. In the Valley of the Kings you step into royal tombs cut deep into the rock, their ceilings still holding original color after 3,000 years. The standard ticket covers three tombs; the Tutankhamun and Seti I tombs need separate tickets (about $5 to $25 USD).

    You stand beneath the terraces of Hatshepsut's temple, built for Egypt's most powerful female pharaoh.

    Pause at the Colossi of Memnon, two 18-meter guardians of a temple now gone. Lunch is at a local restaurant before the drive back to Safaga in time to board.
