Luxor Highlights Shore Excursion from Safaga - Temples and Tombs

You will be picked up at Safaga Port-gate and have a private tour to the ancient capital of Thebes, Luxor. We start at the spectacular Valley of the Kings where you will descend into 3 Royal Tombs. Next is a visit to the rock hewn mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut in Deir El Bahari where you are pointed out the most beautiful murals and have time to wander around yourself. We continue for a quick photo-stop at the Colossi of Memnon, two immense statues guarding the ongoing excavation of the palace of Amenhotep III. We drive to the East Bank for lunch at a local restaurant after which we visit the Karnak Temple where Pharaohs like Tutankhamun, Hatshepsut and Ramses II performed their sacred rituals. The Karnak Temple complex contains holy lakes, hypostyle halls, obelisks, pylons and shrines. A short stop for some pictures at the Luxor Temple ends the tour. Transfer back to Safaga Port.
