Day Tour to Luxor from Port Safaga

Day tour from Port Safaga to see the best monuments of the ancient West
Bank and East Bank in Luxor. These highlights include Valley of the
Kings, the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, the Colossi of Memnon and Karnak
Temples. You will be guided by a licensed Egyptologist tour guide and
transported to all the sites by a private air-conditioned vehicle. 

In the morning you will be picked up from Port Safaga by an
air-conditioned vehicle that will drive you to Luxor (approx. 3 hours).
After arrival in Luxor you will cross over to the West Bank of the Nile
to visit the Valley of the Kings with the possibility of visiting the
most famous attraction, the Tomb of Tutankhamun (which carries an extra
charge). Your Egyptologist will be on hand to recommend and advise you
as to which tombs to visit. This ancient necropolis is a must-see for
Luxor travelers. Later, you will be taken to the impressive mortuary
Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, the only woman ever to reign over Egypt as
pharaoh. Then you will visit the Colossi of Memnon. With a height of
nearly 18 meters, these two statues originally stood in front of the
mortuary Temple of Amenophis III, of which only ruins remain. After this
visit of the West Bank you will have lunch, after which you will be
taken to Karnak on the East Bank of Luxor. Karnak is a complex of
temples built in different reigns, starting with the Avenue of Sphinxes,
the Hypostyle Hall with its 134 gigantic columns, the Obelisks of Queen
Hatshepsut and Tutomosis I, the Temple of Amon adorned with lotus and
papyrus designs, the Granite Scarbeus of Amenophis III and the Sacred
Lake. Karnak beats every other pharaonic monument: it is simply one of
the most beautiful ancient monuments in Egypt.

After touring the sites you will be transferred back to Port Safaga by an air-conditioned vehicle.
