2 Day Trips to Luxor Highlights from Safaga Port

Overview

Day by day itinerary

1. 1Temple of Karnak & Luxor Temple⌄

   Upon your arrival at the Safaga Port, our team will be waiting for you at the cruise exit door to transfer you to Luxor in a modern and comfortable air-conditioned car. You'll be accompanied by an expert tour guide who will take you on a guided tour of the East bank of Luxor, where you'll explore some of the most fascinating historical sites in Luxor.

   The grandeur of Karnak is unparalleled in Egypt. This remarkable complex stands as a testament to the ingenuity of the ancient builders and pharaohs, with its colossal size and architectural magnificence. Comprising three main temples, smaller enclosed temples, and several outer temples, the Temple of Karnak spans over 247 acres of land, making it the largest temple complex ever constructed by man. Your tour includes a delightful boat trip along the Nile, followed by a comfortable check-in at a luxurious 5-star hotel.

   As evening falls, we'll pick you up once again for a unique experience - a visit to the Temple of Luxor by night. This temple was the focal point of the revered festival of Opet, and was primarily constructed during the reigns of Amenhotep III and Rameses II. Its purpose was to serve as a venue for the festival's rituals, which aimed to reconcile the human aspect of the ruler with their divine role. After this extraordinary encounter, we'll return you to your hotel for a comfortable overnight stay.

2. 2West Bank⌄

   Following breakfast, we'll collect you from your hotel to commence your exploration of the West bank of Luxor. This region served as the final resting place for the rulers of Egypt from the 18th to the 20th dynasty, and is home to an array of impressive tombs, including those of the great Pharaoh Ramses II and the boy Pharaoh Tutankhamen. These tombs were designed to provide the rulers with all the material goods they might require in the afterlife, and many of the intricate decorations within them remain remarkably well-preserved to this day.

   This temple is regarded as one of the most exquisite and well-preserved examples of ancient Egyptian architecture. It was constructed on three distinct levels, with two spacious ramps positioned centrally to connect the levels.

   The Colossi of Memnon are a pair of colossal stone statues that are the sole remnants of a once-complete mortuary temple built in honor of King Amenhotep III. The statues were crafted from quartzite sandstone blocks that were sourced from Cairo and then transported an impressive distance of 700 kilometers to their current location in Luxor.

   Upon completion of your tour, we will promptly transfer you back to Safaga Port for your convenience.
