Pick-Up from Hotel in Marsa Alam
Your journey begins early in the morning with a pick-up from your hotel in Marsa Alam. Enjoy a smooth, scenic ride along the Safaga road, specifically designed for tourist travel, ensuring a safe and pleasant experience. As you drive, take in the expansive desert landscapes and majestic mountain views, passing through the historic city of Qena before continuing on to Luxor.
Â
You’ll stop at a well-equipped rest area for a brief break to enjoy a light breakfast or coffee, allowing you to refresh before continuing the journey.
Explore Karnak Temple
Your first destination is the monumental Karnak Temple, one of the largest and most awe-inspiring religious complexes in Egypt.
Â
Dedicated to Amun-Ra, the sun god, Karnak boasts an incredible collection of over 134 towering columns, majestic obelisks, and impressive hypostyle halls. The Great Hypostyle Hall is a true highlight, where massive columns rise to the sky, adorned with intricate carvings that depict ancient rituals, divine kingship, and battle scenes.
Â
Your guide will lead you through the fascinating history of this sacred site, which was central to Egypt’s political and religious life for more than 2,000 years.
Lunch by the Nile
After visiting Karnak Temple, you’ll cross the Nile River in a traditional felucca boat. This peaceful boat ride offers stunning views of the river and its lush banks. Once on the West Bank of the Nile, you’ll enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant with panoramic views of the river. Savor authentic Egyptian cuisine while taking in the serene beauty of the Nile.
Valley of the Kings
Your next stop is the legendary Valley of the Kings, one of the world’s most important archaeological sites. This ancient burial ground houses the tombs of Egypt’s most famous pharaohs, including Ramses II, Seti I, and Tutankhamun. With over 60 tombs carved deep into the desert cliffs, the valley is an awe-inspiring testament to ancient Egyptian architecture.
Â
You’ll have the option to visit the tomb of Tutankhamun (for an additional fee), one of the best-preserved tombs in the valley. Your guide will reveal the significance of the tombs and the ancient artwork that represents Egypt’s beliefs about the afterlife.
Temple of Hatshepsut
Next, you’ll visit the Temple of Hatshepsut, a stunning architectural marvel built for one of Egypt’s few female pharaohs. This impressive temple, carved into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari, features remarkable terraces, colonnades, and detailed carvings. The temple walls tell the story of Queen Hatshepsut’s reign, her divine birth, and her legendary trade expeditions to the land of Punt.
Your guide will provide historical insights into Hatshepsut’s rise to power and explain the significance of her temple’s design and purpose.
Colossi of Memnon
The final stop on your Luxor adventure is the Colossi of Memnon, two colossal statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III. Although the rest of his mortuary temple has crumbled, these enormous statues remain standing proudly, a testament to ancient Egyptian engineering.
Â
The Colossi are famous for producing a mysterious sound at dawn, caused by the warming of the stone, which ancient Egyptians believed to be the voice of the king. Take time to marvel at these iconic statues and learn about their historical significance.
