Description
2 Days Trip To the Grand Egyptian Museum and Luxor from Marsa Alam
Day 1 / Grand Egyptian Museum & Pyramids of Giza
Start your adventure with an early morning departure from Marsa Alam . As you journey westward through the Eastern Desert, witness the changing landscape from barren coastal plains to the lush Nile Valley, a scenic drive that offers glimpses of rural Egyptian life. On arrival in Luxor, meet your knowledgeable guide, who will lead you through the city’s rich history and remarkable archaeological sites.
Your first stop is the Karnak Temple complex, one of the largest and most important religious sites in ancient Egypt. Dedicated to Amun-Ra, the chief deity of Thebes, Karnak is a sprawling site filled with towering columns, monumental statues, and detailed hieroglyphic inscriptions. Explore the Great Hypostyle Hall, a forest of massive columns that showcases the scale and grandeur of Egyptian architecture.
Next, visit Luxor Temple, located along the banks of the Nile River. Unlike many temples dedicated to gods or pharaohs, Luxor Temple served as a center for the rejuvenation of kingship. Admire the statues of Ramses II and the beautifully preserved reliefs depicting scenes of divine and royal significance. Don’t miss the Avenue of Sphinxes, which once connected Luxor Temple to Karnak.
Pause for a traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant, where you can enjoy dishes like grilled meats, falafel, and salads, while soaking in views of the Nile.
After a day of exploration, check into your hotel and enjoy the evening at leisure. You might choose to stroll along the Nile Corniche, visit the Luxor markets, or relax at a local café.
Day 2 / Fly to Luxor – Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple & Valley of the Kings
Start the second day of your adventure with a private transfer to Cairo Airport for your flight to Luxor—the ancient capital of Egypt and an open-air museum rich in history.
Upon arriving in Luxor, your guide will take you to the Karnak Temple, one of Egypt’s largest and most famous religious complexes. Dedicated to the god Amun-Ra, Karnak was constructed and expanded over 2,000 years. The Hypostyle Hall, with its 134 towering columns, is a highlight of this vast temple, and you’ll also explore the Sacred Lake and Obelisk of Hatshepsut, gaining insights into ancient Egyptian religious life.
Next, head to Luxor Temple, an impressive site located on the banks of the Nile. This temple, with its Avenue of Sphinxes, is renowned for its stunning reliefs and statues of pharaohs. It was also used during the Opet Festival, an important religious celebration, and your guide will provide you with fascinating details about its historical significance.
Enjoy a relaxing lunch at a local restaurant in Luxor. Many restaurants offer beautiful Nile views, making it the perfect setting to unwind while sampling more local Egyptian dishes.
In the afternoon, your adventure continues to the Valley of the Kings on the West Bank of the Nile. This site is the burial place of many New Kingdom pharaohs, including Tutankhamun. Explore the richly decorated tombs, which are adorned with vibrant murals depicting the pharaohs’ journey to the afterlife. Your guide will explain the intricate burial practices and the significance of the tombs.
Next, visit the Temple of Hatshepsut, a stunning mortuary temple dedicated to Egypt’s most famous female pharaoh. The temple’s unique architecture, with its grand terraces and colonnades, blends perfectly with the surrounding cliffs.
Your last stop of the day is the Colossi of Memnon, two giant statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III. These ancient statues have stood for over 3,000 years, guarding the entrance to his temple.
After a full day of exploration in Luxor, you’ll be transferred back to Marsa Alam in a private car, where your 2-day adventure comes to an end. This journey through Egypt’s timeless history will leave you with unforgettable memories of the ancient wonders you’ve witnessed.
