Description

2 Days Trip to Luxor from Makadi Bay by Private Car

Day 1 / Makadi Bay to Luxor & Explore the East Bank Of Luxor

Your journey begins with a pick-up at 5:00 AM from your hotel in Makadi Bay. You’ll then enjoy a private transfer in a comfortable air-conditioned car, traveling along the scenic Safaga Road, a journey that takes approximately 3.5 hours to reach Luxor.

 

Along the way, you’ll stop for a brief break to enjoy a coffee and breakfast before continuing directly to Luxor. Upon arrival, your personal tour guide will meet you, and you’ll begin your discovery of the East Bank.

 

Your first stop will be the awe-inspiring Karnak Temple, one of the largest and most impressive temple complexes in the world. Spanning 247 acres, Karnak is an expansive site featuring pylons, obelisks, and chapels, built over 2,000 years by various pharaohs. As you explore, you’ll learn about the religious importance of this location, particularly in connection to the Opet Festival, a significant event in ancient Egypt that celebrated the Pharaoh’s divine essence.

 

Next, you’ll head to the nearby Luxor Temple, constructed primarily by Amenhotep III and Ramses II. This sacred temple, located along the east bank of the Nile River, played a vital role in the Opet Festival, which aimed to connect the human and divine aspects of the Pharaoh. As you walk through the impressive halls and past towering statues of the Pharaohs, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the role religion played in the ancient Egyptian civilization.

 

After exploring these historical landmarks, you’ll enjoy a delicious lunch in Luxor at a local restaurant, where you can indulge in authentic Egyptian dishes.

 

In the evening, you can opt to experience the Sound and Light Show at Karnak Temple. This captivating show brings to life the history of Thebes and the Karnak Temple, highlighting the grandeur of the ancient city and the monumental achievements of the Pharaohs. With dramatic lighting and poetic narration, the show will transport you back in time to the reigns of Egypt’s great rulers. You’ll then spend the night in Luxor, where you can unwind and reflect on your day immersed in Egypt’s ancient history.

Day 2 / Explore the East Bank Of Luxor & Return to Makadi Bay

After a restful night, enjoy a hearty breakfast at your hotel before continuing the second day of your exploration. Your private guide will escort you to the Valley of the Kings, the burial site of many famous Pharaohs, including Ramses II and the boy king Tutankhamun.

 

This area is home to elaborately decorated tombs, where the Pharaohs were entombed with treasures and everything they needed for the afterlife. You’ll have the opportunity to visit the tomb of Tutankhamun, famously discovered in 1922 and known for its remarkable golden treasures, including the iconic golden mask.

 

Next, you will explore the majestic Hatshepsut Temple, one of the most well-preserved temples of Ancient Egypt. Carved into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari, this temple was built in honor of Queen Hatshepsut, the only female Pharaoh. The temple’s architectural design, with its wide terraces and symmetrical ramps, is a true marvel. As you walk through the temple, you’ll learn about Hatshepsut’s reign and the significance of her temple, which was dedicated to the god Amun.

 

Afterward, you’ll visit the impressive Colossi of Memnon, two enormous statues carved from quartzite sandstone, which once stood guard at the entrance of the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III. These towering statues are some of the most photographed ancient monuments in Egypt.

 

For lunch, you’ll enjoy another delicious meal in Luxor, allowing you to sample more of Egypt’s mouthwatering cuisine before continuing your adventure.

 

Finally, after a memorable day filled with ancient discoveries, your private driver will take you back to your hotel in Makadi Bay, concluding your private two-day exploration of Luxor’s rich cultural heritage and historical landmarks.
