Itinerary

Day 1: Safaga Port to Luxor
	We will pick you up with an air-conditioned modern vehicle from Safaga Port and begin our drive to Luxor. The distance is some 215 kilometers and it takes around 3 hours maximum with a toilet break.
Valley of the Kings – The Marvels of Egypt
	You will start your Luxor day tour with a visit to the Valley of the Kings, the greatest, most popular, and most visited place on the West bank of the River Nile. Valley of the Kings is the UNESCO world heritage site since 1997 and it includes 62 rock-cut tombs for all the New Kingdom Pharaohs including the golden boy-king Tutankhamon. Enjoy a visit to 3 recommended tombs by your guide and admire the ancient sarcophagus, paintings, and stories decorating the walls of the tombs.
Hatshepsut temple
	After Valley of the Kings, you will complete your tour with a visit to the Hatshepsut temple. Hatshepsut temple is a unique mortuary temple and one of the most impressive sites in Luxor. Hatshepsut was the only female monarch to rule for every long term, almost 23 years.
	Hatshepsut temple was built into the cliff and it consists of 3 terraces connected with two ramps. Here you can admire the royal propaganda the Queen made for herself called the divine birth. Also, you can see the Punt expedition decorating the south wall of the second terrace, Hathor chapel, and Anubis chapel.
Colossi of Memnon
	You will end your West bank tour with a visit to seated statues for Amenhotep III known as Colossi of Memnon. The Colossi of Memnon are the second-highest statues in Egypt after those of Abu Simbel. The statutes were badly damaged because of a fierce earthquake in Luxor in 27 B.C. Many cracks appeared in both statues, that's why strange sounds were occasionally heard due to wind passing through the cracks. That’s why they are sometimes called the singing statues or the Vocal Memnon.
Lunch
	Enjoy your lunch in a very nice restaurant before you will go to check-in at your 5 stars' hotel for an overnight stay.
Day 2: Karnak temple
	After enjoying your breakfast at your hotel, you will start your East bank visit with the Karnak temple. It is known also as the temple of Amun which is the largest religious temple in the world. Explore Karnak complex with Hatshepsut Obelisks, Ramses Hypostyle Hall, Ramses III temple, and Amenhotep III Sacred Lake.
Luxor temple
	Luxor temple was connected to Karnak temple via Sphinx's avenue to celebrate the Opet festival. Luxor temple was established by Amenhotep III (1390–1353 B.C.) and was completed by Rameses II (1279–1213 B.C.). The temple was built parallel to the River Nile and was converted into Church. Luxor temple is decorated with 6 colossi statues for king Rameses II between seated and standing statutes. Also, the twin Obelisk of that one standing now in Concorde still can be seen in front of the Pylon.
Return to Safaga Port
	At the end of your tour, we will drive you back to your cruise boat or hotel at Safaga Port.
