Summary
Discover the timeless treasures of Luxor on a full-day trip from Marsa Alam and experience the heart of Ancient Egypt.
Often described as one of the world’s greatest open-air museums, Luxor offers an extraordinary concentration of ancient temples, royal tombs and archaeological treasures. This full-day excursion from Marsa Alam takes you deep into the history of the pharaohs, combining the most important highlights of Luxor’s East and West Banks in one unforgettable day.
Your journey begins early in the morning from Marsa Alam. Travel comfortably through the spectacular Eastern Desert as the scenery changes from rugged mountains and golden desert landscapes to green fields, palm trees and the fertile Nile Valley.
Once you arrive in Luxor, your historical adventure begins with a visit to the magnificent Temple of Karnak.
Karnak is one of the largest religious complexes ever built and one of the most impressive monuments of Ancient Egypt. Walk among enormous columns, ancient statues, monumental gateways and beautifully preserved remains while your professional guide brings the history of the pharaohs and ancient Egyptian gods to life.
After exploring Karnak, enjoy a relaxing lunch at a local restaurant before continuing to Luxor’s legendary West Bank.
Your next stop is the Colossi of Memnon, two enormous ancient statues that have stood facing the Nile Valley for thousands of years. Take some time to admire these remarkable monuments and learn about their original purpose and history.
Continue to the spectacular Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, dramatically built into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari. Discover the story of Queen Hatshepsut, one of the most powerful and fascinating rulers of Ancient Egypt, and learn about the remarkable architecture and history of her mortuary temple.
The highlight of your West Bank experience is the legendary Valley of the Kings, the ancient burial ground of many of Egypt’s most famous pharaohs.
Enter the mysterious world of the royal tombs and discover the fascinating beliefs surrounding death and the afterlife in Ancient Egypt. You will visit three selected tombs, where colourful wall paintings, hieroglyphics and ancient scenes reveal stories from thousands of years ago.
There may also be an opportunity to visit additional tombs, including the famous tomb of King Tutankhamun, subject to availability and an additional entrance fee.
After completing your visits in Luxor, relax on the return journey to Marsa Alam and take with you unforgettable memories of the temples, tombs and stories of Ancient Egypt.
