Luxor Day Trip from Safaga Port

Our professional Memphis Tours English speaking Egyptologist Guide will pick you up from your exit point of the Ship at Port Safaga in the morning holding a sign with your name. Your private shore excursion from Port Safaga to Luxor  will be by road  (approximately 3 hours) in an air-conditioned vehicle with a rest stop on the way. Then proceed to visit the world famous Karnak Temple the largest place of worship ever built. Its ancient name Ipet-isut meaning  ‘the most sacred of places.’ The Temple, or, more correctly, the complex of Temples was built  more than two thousand years ago by generation after generation of Pharaohs and  within the complex, the great ‘Hypostyle Hall’ is an incredible corridor of giant pillars. After your tour of Karnak Temple, lunch will be served at good quality restaurant in Luxor. Then you will cross to the  the West Bank of the Nile river in Luxor to visit  the two colossal statues of Amenhotep III (Colossi of Memnon), followed by discovery tour of  the Valley of the Kings, where many magnificent tombs  were discovered carved deep into the desert rocks richly decorated and filled with treasures for  the afterlife of the Pharaohs. You will visit 3 tombs (The three tombs visited are determined by the Egyptian Government as to preserve them from the large flow of visitors, therefore are rotated throughout the year and cannot be confirmed as to which tombs prior to your visit). Continue driving to visit the impressive Temple of Queen Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahri, which was built into a high cliff face and has graphics telling the story of Hatshepsut’s expeditions to the mysterious land of Punt. Then finally you will be escorted by your Guide back to the cruise ship in Safaga Port ( 220km ).
