Description

Take a step back in history on a guided day trip to Luxor from Safaga Port by car or van. Visit sites including the Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple, and Hatshepsut Temple at Deir el-Bahari.
Embark on a historical journey to Luxor from Safaga Port. Visit the iconic sites of Luxor, such as the Valley of the Kings and Karnak Temple with your local guide. Choose between a private and a group trip by car or van, for a day that best suits your needs. Tuck into a delicious local lunch on your day out in Luxor.
Once in your vehicle, sit back and relax for your 3-hour journey to Luxor as your guide explains everything you will visit that day. Once in Luxor, make your way to the famous Karnak Temples; the largest place of worship ever built and the greatest example of worship in history.
Learn about how the complex was constructed from the beginning of the Middle Kingdom to the Greco Roman Kingdom. Within the complex, the great "Hypostyle Hall" is an incredible forest of giant pillars, which your guide takes you through.

Then, make your way to a local restaurant for some lunch before heading to the West Bank of the River Nile to visit the two colossal statues of Amenhotep III (Colossi of Memnon). Next, visit the iconic Valley of the Kings, where the magnificent tombs of the ancient kings were discovered. Marvel at these tombs that are curved deep into the desert rock, richly decorated and filled with treasures for the afterlife of the pharaohs.
Continue your tour to visit the Hatshepsut Temple at Deir el-Bahari. This impressive temple is dedicated to the Queen Hatshepsut – the only female pharaoh – which rises out of the desert plain in a series of terraces and merges with the sheer limestone cliffs that surround it.

Finally, head back to Safaga Port in the comfort of your ride.
