Description
Cairo and Luxor 2 Days trip from Soma Bay by Flight
Day 1: Explore Luxor East & West Bank
Your journey begins with a convenient pickup from your Soma Bay hotel in a private, air-conditioned vehicle. Travel through the scenic desert to Luxor, the world’s most extraordinary archaeological site. Upon arrival, meet your private Egyptologist guide, who will accompany you throughout the day.
Your first stop in Luxor is the grand Karnak Temple, the largest religious complex in Egypt. This sprawling temple, dedicated to Amun-Ra, is a spectacular showcase of ancient Egyptian architecture, featuring towering obelisks, massive columns, and the famed Hypostyle Hall. Karnak was built and expanded by several pharaohs over 2,000 years, making it one of the most remarkable historical landmarks in the world.
Enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant in Luxor, where you can savor regional delicacies like koshari, falafel, and grilled meats.
After lunch, take a motorboat ride across the Nile River to the West Bank of Luxor. Visit the Valley of the Kings, the burial site of Egypt’s most powerful pharaohs from the 18th to the 20th Dynasty. Explore the tombs adorned with stunning frescoes, including those of famous pharaohs like Ramses II and the boy king Tutankhamun.
Next, visit Hatshepsut’s Temple, one of the most visually striking temples in Egypt. Located on the West Bank of the Nile, this temple is dedicated to the female pharaoh Hatshepsut and is renowned for its terraced structure and beautiful hieroglyphic reliefs depicting her reign.
End your Luxor tour with a visit to the Colossi of Memnon, two enormous statues of Amenhotep III, which have stood for thousands of years as silent witnesses to the grandeur of Egypt’s past.
In the evening, consider joining the Karnak Sound and Light Show, where the temples come to life with lights, music, and a narration of ancient Thebes’ history, bringing its stories of divine power and the legacy of the pharaohs to life.
After a day of awe-inspiring exploration, you’ll be transferred to Luxor Airport for your flight to Cairo. Upon arrival, you’ll be transferred to your hotel in Giza for an overnight stay.
Day 2 : Trip to the Pyramids & Egyptian Museum
After a hearty breakfast, your guide will pick you up from your Cairo hotel to begin the second leg of your adventure.
Your first stop is the world-famous Pyramids of Giza, where you will witness the Great Pyramid of Cheops, the Pyramid of Chephren, and the Pyramid of Mykerinus.
These ancient structures are one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and are a true testament to ancient Egypt’s engineering marvels. Marvel at the scale of these massive monuments, which have stood the test of time for over 4,500 years.
Next, visit the iconic Great Sphinx, the limestone statue with the body of a lion and the head of Pharaoh Chephren. This enigmatic figure is one of Egypt’s most famous symbols and a must-see on any Egypt tour.
If desired, you can opt to enter the Great Pyramid of Giza (additional cost) or visit the Solar Boat Museum, where the solar boat of Pharaoh Cheops is displayed—a 4,500-year-old vessel that was discovered buried near the Great Pyramid.
Next, head to the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities in Tahrir Square, home to over 250,000 artifacts from ancient Egypt. Highlights include the treasures of Tutankhamun, including his famous golden mask, jewelry, and other priceless items. For an additional cost, you can visit the Mummy Room, where you can see the preserved remains of famous pharaohs, such as Ramses II.
As you return to your hotel, pass through Tahrir Square, a historic site that played a significant role in Egypt’s political landscape, including the 2011 Egyptian Revolution. You may also enjoy some free time for shopping at the nearby markets or pick up souvenirs.
After your day of exploration in Cairo, you’ll be transferred to Cairo International Airport for your flight back to Soma Bay. Upon arrival, you’ll be transferred to your hotel in Soma Bay, concluding your unforgettable 2-day adventure through Cairo and Luxor.
