Itinerary
Your first stop is the awe-inspiring Karnak Temple — one of the largest religious structures ever built. As you walk through its forest of colossal columns and towering obelisks, your guide will unravel stories of ancient pharaohs and powerful priests. Don’t miss the Sacred Lake and the famous Hypostyle Hall, where history feels larger than life.
After exploring Karnak, enjoy a relaxing lunch at a local restaurant overlooking the Nile River. This well-earned break gives you a taste of authentic Egyptian cuisine while soaking in views of the river that has shaped Egypt’s destiny for millennia.
Next, cross the Nile to Luxor’s West Bank and descend into the Valley of the Kings — the final resting place of Egypt’s most legendary rulers. Step inside a selection of richly decorated tombs carved deep into the mountains, including those of Ramses and other New Kingdom pharaohs. (Entrance to King Tut’s tomb is optional.)
Carved directly into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari, the mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut is a breathtaking blend of architecture and storytelling. Learn how Egypt’s most successful female pharaoh rose to power and left behind this majestic tribute.
Before heading back, make a quick stop to see the massive Colossi of Memnon — two towering statues that have guarded Theban lands for over 3,000 years. Your guide will share the legends behind these silent sentinels as you capture memorable photos.

About Safaga
Safaga is a Red Sea port town in Egypt, south of Hurghada, known for its reefs, windy lagoons and as a starting point for Luxor and the Eastern Desert.
Safaga lies on the Red Sea coast of Egypt about sixty kilometres south of Hurghada, between the sea and the bare mountains of the Eastern Desert. It began as a phosphate port and still has a working harbour, and a string of resorts has grown up along the sandy bay. The water is clear, the reefs start close to shore, and steady winds make the area popular for windsurfing and kitesurfing.
