2 Days Luxor Tour with Hotel and Nile Boat from Port Ghalib
Day 1: From Port Ghalib to Luxor – Discover Ancient Wonders
Your incredible journey begins with an early morning pick-up from your hotel in Port Ghalib, followed by a scenic drive to Luxor. Travel in comfort in an air-conditioned vehicle through the picturesque desert landscapes of Egypt, with the golden dunes providing an awe-inspiring backdrop as the sun rises over the horizon. The peaceful journey will lead you to the historic city of Luxor, once known as Thebes, the ancient Egyptian capital during the New Kingdom.
Upon arrival in Luxor, you’ll first visit the world-famous Valley of the Kings, a UNESCO World Heritage site that houses the tombs of Egypt’s most powerful pharaohs, including Ramses II, Seti I, and the legendary Tutankhamun. Explore the intricately decorated tombs carved deep into the cliffs, where vibrant wall paintings and hieroglyphic reliefs depict the pharaohs’ journey to the afterlife. You’ll have the option to visit the Tomb of Tutankhamun, one of the most famous and well-preserved tombs, where treasures such as his famous golden death mask were discovered.
Next, you will visit the impressive Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari, a true architectural masterpiece built into the dramatic limestone cliffs. This mortuary temple is dedicated to Queen Hatshepsut, one of Egypt’s most remarkable female pharaohs. The temple features grand colonnaded terraces, intricate reliefs depicting the queen’s reign, and statues honoring her divine birth. As you explore, your guide will reveal the fascinating history behind Hatshepsut’s rise to power and her impressive reign.
Afterward, stop at the monumental Colossi of Memnon, two towering statues of Amenhotep III that have stood for over 3,400 years. These colossal figures were once part of a grand temple complex, and today, they stand as silent sentinels to the greatness of ancient Egypt. These statues are famous for the mysterious “singing” sound they produced at dawn, an awe-inspiring phenomenon in ancient times.
Following your explorations, enjoy a delicious traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant, where you can savor classic dishes like koshari, falafel, and freshly baked Egyptian bread. Afterward, for those seeking a moment of tranquility, opt for a serene Nile River cruise. As you sail along the river, enjoy stunning views of Luxor’s palm-fringed banks, local villages, and ancient temples.
In the evening, check into your luxurious 5-star hotel in Luxor, where you can unwind and relax. Take a swim in the hotel pool or indulge in the world-class amenities. Afterward, enjoy a leisurely evening as you prepare for the second day of your Luxor adventure.
Day 2: Explore Luxor’s East Bank and Return to Port Ghalib
After a restful night’s sleep, begin your second day with a hearty breakfast at your hotel. Your first stop of the day will be the awe-inspiring Karnak Temple Complex, the largest religious structure ever constructed in ancient Egypt.
Karnak was dedicated to the god Amun-Ra, and it was a major center of religious and political life for over 2,000 years. As you explore this sprawling site, you’ll marvel at the Hypostyle Hall, featuring 134 towering columns adorned with intricate hieroglyphs. Admire the obelisk of Queen Hatshepsut and the Sacred Lake, which was used by priests for purification rituals. Your guide will share fascinating insights into the history and significance of this monumental complex, which was the site of grand religious festivals like the Opet Festival.
Next, visit Luxor Temple, another stunning example of ancient Egyptian architecture. Built by Amenhotep III and later expanded by Ramses II, this temple was dedicated to the rejuvenation of kingship and the god Amun-Ra. Walk along the Avenue of Sphinxes, a 2.7-kilometer pathway lined with sphinx statues, which once connected Luxor Temple to Karnak Temple. Inside the temple, you will find beautifully preserved reliefs and colossal statues of Ramses II, as well as stunning hieroglyphic carvings that depict religious and royal scenes.
After a morning full of awe-inspiring discoveries, enjoy another traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant, savoring fresh and flavorful dishes. In the afternoon, take some free time to shop for souvenirs such as papyrus paintings, handcrafted jewelry, alabaster vases, and other unique Egyptian crafts. These items make perfect keepsakes of your unforgettable journey. Alternatively, capture more photographs of Luxor’s remarkable landmarks or relax and enjoy the sights.
As the day comes to an end, begin your comfortable return journey to Port Ghalib, reflecting on the incredible history and monumental treasures of Luxor. This carefully curated 2-day tour offers the perfect combination of historical exploration, luxurious comfort, and cultural immersion, ensuring you have an unforgettable adventure in the heart of ancient Egypt.
