Meeting Your Guide and Transfer to Luxor
Your day trip begins when your guide meets you right in front of your cruise ship at Safaga Port. After a warm welcome, you’ll be escorted to your private vehicle for a comfortable drive to Luxor. During the journey, you’ll make a stop at a local café to enjoy a coffee or a light breakfast before continuing on your way to the ancient city.
Karnak Temple - East Bank Exploration
Upon arriving in Luxor, your first stop will be the grand Karnak Temple on the East Bank. As one of Egypt’s largest and most spectacular temple complexes, it will captivate you with its colossal columns and intricate hieroglyphs. Your guide will lead you through the temple’s history, and you’ll have time to explore its monumental halls, sanctuaries, and statues at your own pace.

Felucca Boat Ride Across the Nile
Following lunch, you’ll board a traditional felucca boat for a serene crossing of the Nile River. Enjoy the peaceful surroundings and take in the stunning views of the river and the banks, as your boat gently glides toward the West Bank of Luxor.
Valley of the Kings - Tombs of the Pharaohs
On the West Bank, your first stop will be the Valley of the Kings, home to the tombs of many pharaohs, including famous rulers like Ramses II.

If you’d like, you can also visit the tomb of Tutankhamun for an additional charge.
Temple of Hatshepsut
Next, you’ll visit the remarkable Temple of Hatshepsut, an architectural masterpiece built into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari. This mortuary temple, dedicated to Egypt’s powerful female pharaoh, will amaze you with its impressive design and its incredible views of the surrounding desert.
The Colossi of Memnon - Photo Opportunity
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.
