Luxor East and West Bank Tour from Safaga Port

Leave the present behind, step into the shoes of an ancient Egyptian, and travel back in time to the Valley of the Kings, rich with rock-cut tombs featuring unusual outlines. These tombs are also accessible from the inside, where you can admire spectacular and evocative paintings and bas-reliefs. For a small extra charge, it is also possible to visit the tomb of King Tutankhamun, where however the guide will not be able to accompany you inside.

Next, proceed to the fascinating Temple of Hatshepsut, the Egyptian temple dedicated to the female pharaoh who reigned by posing as a man. After the Egyptologist guide has illustrated the history of the temple, you will have free time to explore the courtyards and admire the splendid hieroglyphs.

We then move on to visit the Colossi of Memnon, the remains of the mortuary temple of King Amenhotep III. These colossal statues were carved from a single block of hard stone.

In the afternoon, enjoy a private tour of Luxor's East Bank, beginning with the Karnak Temple Complex. The Avenue of Sphinxes will welcome you, flanked by finely crafted statues. Walking through the temple halls, you can observe the evolution of artistic style over a period of about three thousand years, and then reach the great hall with 134 massive columns and the sacred lake used by the pharaohs for purification.

To conclude, visit the Luxor Temple, linked to the history of Karnak and once connected to it precisely via the Avenue of Sphinxes. This temple is one of the best preserved, with large statues of Ramesses II and numerous hieroglyphs that the guide will explain to you.

At the end of an excursion full of wonders in Luxor, it will be time to return to the cruise ship, thus concluding our exploration.
