Upon your arrival at Safaga Port, a representative holding a sign reading "Passionegypttours" will be there to greet you. They will be responsible for transferring you from the port to the stunning city of Luxor in a modern vehicle, where your adventure begins with a professional Egyptologist tour guide who will meet you in Luxor and accompany you to explore the following top attractions:
The Valley of the Kings is one of the most renowned archaeological sites worldwide. It houses the royal tombs of several prominent pharaohs who governed ancient Egypt across various periods from 1539 to approximately 1075 BC, including the burial sites of the young Pharaoh Tutankhamun, Ramses II, Ramses IX, Seti I, and Ramses VI.
The Temple of Hatshepsut was built from limestone, unlike the sandstone used for other mortuary temples constructed during the New Kingdom. It was dedicated to the remarkable Queen Hatshepsut and the god Amun. In short, a visit to Hatshepsut's mortuary temple is essential when in Egypt, thanks to its well-preserved decorations and captivating architectural design.
Colossal statues were traditionally built to protect the entrances of the Pharaohs’ temples. The Colossi of Memnon are two impressive monumental stone statues depicting King Amenhotep III, originally erected to guard his Mortuary Complex. However, the entire complex was destroyed and reduced to ruins, with these two statues being the sole surviving elements.
It is now time to enjoy lunch at a restaurant in Luxor, followed by continuing your tour to visit:
The most notable fact about this remarkable site is that it was dedicated to three prominent ancient deities: Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. Consequently, it stands as the largest religious complex ever built. Numerous ancient Pharaohs, including King Ramses II and Amenhotep III, contributed to its construction.
At the conclusion of your day tour, we will transport you back to Safaga Port, where you will spend the night aboard your Nile River cruise.
