Your adventure begins with a private transfer from Safaga Port to Dendera Temple , a comfortable drive that will take approximately 3 hours through scenic desert landscapes. Upon arrival, you’ll be guided to Dendera, home to the famous Temple of Hathor, one of the most well-preserved temples in Egypt. The Temple of Hathor is dedicated to the goddess of love, music, and dance, and is renowned for its astrological ceiling that beautifully depicts the zodiac signs.

After a thorough visit to Dendera Temple, you’ll continue your journey to Abydos, one of Egypt’s most sacred sites.

After a full day of exploration, you’ll enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, where you can sample traditional Egyptian cuisine, including dishes such as koshari, moussaka, grilled kebabs, and falafel, giving you a taste of the local flavors.

Day 2: Luxor – East and west bank of Luxor

After enjoying a hearty breakfast at your hotel, your private guide will meet you to start your full day of exploration in Luxor, one of Egypt’s most historically rich destinations. First, you will visit the Karnak Temple, a vast religious complex that is one of the largest in Egypt, dedicated to the great god Amun-Ra. This monumental site spans over 200 acres and boasts the magnificent Hypostyle Hall, which contains 134 colossal columns—each a testament to the grandeur of ancient Egyptian architecture. You’ll also walk along the Avenue of Sphinxes, an ancient path lined with sphinx statues leading to the temple, and see the towering obelisk of Queen Hatshepsut, standing proudly at the temple’s entrance. The intricate carvings, hieroglyphics, and towering statues here showcase the immense power and grandeur of Egypt’s pharaohs.

 

Afterward, head to Luxor Temple, a stunning structure located at the heart of modern Luxor. Dedicated to Amun-Ra, this temple is home to monumental statues of Ramses II, colonnades, and beautifully preserved reliefs. The walls of the temple depict iconic scenes of Egypt’s pharaohs and gods, capturing the essence of Egypt’s religious beliefs and royal history. The temple’s avenues, adorned with sphinxes, and the towering statues offer a spectacular sight for visitors.

 

After a traditional Egyptian lunch, featuring local dishes such as koshari, grilled lamb, stuffed pigeon, and falafel, you’ll cross the Nile River to the West Bank to explore some of Egypt’s most famous ancient tombs and temples. Begin your visit to the Valley of the Kings, where the tombs of Egypt’s most famous pharaohs, including Tutankhamun, Ramses II, and Seti I, are carved deep into the desert cliffs. These tombs are adorned with vibrant wall paintings, hieroglyphic texts, and depictions of the afterlife, offering visitors a glimpse into the spiritual beliefs and burial practices of ancient Egypt. You’ll have the chance to explore several tombs, each with its own unique carvings and colorfully preserved murals.

 

Next, visit the Temple of Hatshepsut, a breathtaking mortuary temple dedicated to Hatshepsut, Egypt’s only female pharaoh. Built into the cliffs of the Theban Mountains, this temple is famous for its grand terraces, colonnades, and statues of the queen, which exude both elegance and strength. The temple’s architecture, set against the stark desert backdrop, makes it one of the most striking and visually impressive temples in Egypt.

 

Finally, visit the Colossi of Memnon, two massive statues of Amenhotep III, which once guarded the entrance to his mortuary temple. These colossal statues stand nearly 60 feet tall and have survived for over 3,000 years, offering visitors a striking glimpse into the monumental scale of ancient Egyptian art and architecture.

 

After an exciting day of historical exploration, your private guide will transfer you to Safaga for your return to Safaga Port . concluding your unforgettable 2-day journey through the ancient wonders of Egypt.
