trip to Luxor from Safaga port

Your Egypt shore excursion begins when your tour guide meets you right at the cruise exit at Safaga Port. You’ll then take a comfortable, air-conditioned drive from Safaga to Luxor, which takes around three hours.

Your first stop is the impressive Luxor Temple, one of the best-preserved and most architecturally significant sites in Egypt. It’s a major highlight on any Egypt tour from Safaga Port. Next, your guide will take you to the famous Valley of the Kings, where royal tombs from the 18th to 20th Dynasties are found, including the first tomb belonging to Thutmose I. The site lies in southern Egypt and is part of what’s known as the Valley of the Gates of the Kings.

Your Luxor day tour continues with a visit to the Valley of the Queens, where you’ll see Queen Nefertari’s tomb, one of the most beautifully decorated tombs in all of ancient Thebes.

Afterwards, you go to Dra Abu El Naga, a peculiar archaeological site for adding more meaning to your understanding of Theban history. You also visit the mortuary temple of Ramses II: the Ramesseum, once the grandest complex on the West Bank of the Nile. Today, one sees remains of columns, statues, and fragments of the original monument.

The final stop on your Luxor tour from Safaga shore excursions is the Colossi of Memnon, two towering statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III that once guarded a massive temple complex.

After a full day of exploring, your tour guide will escort you back to your cruise at Safaga Port, ending your guided Egypt tour experience with comfort and ease.
