Your Egypt shore excursion begins when a professional Cairo Top Tours representative and guide meets you right outside the cruise ship at Safaga Port. This is one of the most popular shore excursions from Safaga, often included in customized Egypt shore excursion packages for cruise travelers.

This site is often a highlight in many luxury Egypt tour itineraries.
Take in the view of the majestic colonnade as you journey across the Nile to the West Bank. Then one will visit the awe-inspiring Colossi of Memnon—two huge statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III—and proceed to the Valley of the Kings, where the bodies of 62 New Kingdom pharaohs were laid.
In awe of the tombs of mighty kings with far-flung names like Tutankhamun, Thutmose III, and Ramses II! While these ancient burial grounds are rock-cut, they also feature vivid paintings and lots of treasures believed to be for the use of the dead in the next life.
Your Safaga Shore Excursion continues with a visit to the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari, dedicated to Egypt's first female pharaoh. These enriching Safaga Port trips offer an unforgettable journey into Egypt's royal past—a must for any history or culture buff.
After enjoying a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, unwind with a peaceful felucca ride along the Nile, where you will take beautiful photos and create lifelong memories.In the end, your guide will take you back to your cruise ship in Safaga Port after a magical day in the ancient city of Luxor.
We hope this experience becomes a treasured highlight of your Egypt tour and your cruise shore excursion adventure.
