On your way back, you’ll stop at the Colossi of Memnon, two giant statues that once stood at the entrance of Amenhotep III’s temple. These monumental statues are perfect for a memorable photo stop, giving you the chance to capture the grandeur of ancient Egyptian art.
After a day full of exploration, you’ll make your way back to your private vehicle for the drive back to Safaga Port.
