Luxor from Marsa Alam

Get ready for an unforgettable journey to Luxor – the former capital of Egypt and a true treasure for every lover of ancient history. Expect a day full of discoveries, and breathtaking views. 

We’ll begin with a visit to the legendary Valley of the Kings, the final resting place of Egypt’s most powerful rulers for thousands of years. You’ll explore three remarkably well-preserved tombs, and if you wish, you can also step inside the world-famous tomb of Tutankhamen (optional, at an additional fee). 

On the way, you’ll pass by the house of Howard Carter, the archaeologist who, in 1922, made one of the most significant archaeological discoveries of all time – the intact tomb of Tutankhamen. The next stop is the majestic Mortuary temple of Hatshepsut, a remarkable female pharaoh who made her mark in Egyptian history. This impressive structure is over 3,500 years old – a truly authentic piece of history. 

You’ll then admire the Colossi of Memnon. These two massive statues have guarded the entrance to a lost temple for millennia. If you wish, you can also take a boat trip on the Nile (optional), offering a completely different perspective of Egypt. 

But the adventure doesn’t end there! You’ll visit a papyrus gallery and an alabaster workshop, where you can see local artisans at work and shop for hand-painted souvenirs. 

Finally, the journey concludes with a walk through the Karnak Temple Complex – one of the largest and most awe-inspiring sacred sites of the ancient world. Expanded over more than 2,000 years by successive pharaohs, Karnak was the primary centre of worship for the god Amun. The highlight is the Great Hypostyle Hall, featuring over 100 monumental columns, a true masterpiece that encapsulates the magic of Egypt in a nutshell. 

Please note that the order of visits and the program may be subject to change.
