Day Trip from Safaga Port to Luxor

On this unusual day tour from Safaga Port, our representative will pick you up and drive you in a private, air-conditioned vehicle to Luxor. There, your expert private guide will be waiting to lead you through an unforgettable Egypt shore excursion packed with ancient wonders.

Your first stop is the incredible Luxor Temple, not built for a god or pharaoh but dedicated to the rejuvenation of kingship, a rare and fascinating concept in ancient Egypt.

Next is the Valley of the Kings and Queens, one of the top highlights on any trip through Egypt. This sacred burial ground was set aside to protect tombs of the royals, and treasures, from being plundered by the ancient thieves.

Next, explore a hidden gem: Dra' Abu el-Naga, dating back to the 17th Pharaonic Dynasty, where the cartouches of the great King Thutmose I were found.

Continue to Madinet Habu Temple, a place rich in both Egyptian and Christian history. Some say it was named after the city of Habu; others believe it honors a Christian monk. Part of the temple even served as a church during early Christianity.

Your final stop is the impressive Colossi of Memnon, two massive statues once guarding a now-lost temple. Though the temple was destroyed by an earthquake, the statues have endured for thousands of years.

After your Luxor day tour, relax on the ride back to your cruise ship at Safaga Port, ending your incredible Egypt tour experience.
