Itinerary :
An early morning pick up from your ship at Safaga Port, takes you on a three hour drive across the Eastern dry desert to Luxor a site often referred to as the greatest and the biggest outdoor museum in the world. Cross over the might Nile to the West Bank in Luxor and drive through lush farmland and sugar cane plantations to edge of the desert where you will find the tombs of the pharaohs in the Valley of the Kings. Cut directly into the mountains, the tombs in Valley of the Kings were filled with treasures beyond comprehension and covered in beautiful painted hieroglyphics depicting the life of the king they housed. Your tour guide will bring the stories to life as you explore the tombs at the famous Valley of Kings before continuing to the impressive mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut. Architecturally stunning, Hatshepsut temple would not look out of place with modern buildings and contains beautiful murals on its inner walls. On your return to Luxors East Bank, there is a photo opportunity at the Colossi of Memnon, two gigantic statues that stand proudly, yet virtually alone at the entrance to what was Amenhotep IIIs mortuary temple. After lunch is served in a local restaurant in Luxor, continue to the hugely impressive Temple of Karnak. An amazing feat of ancient Egyptian engineering, Karnak temple complex comprises three temples and took several generations to complete. The centrepiece is undoubtedly the Temple of Amun-Ra, the largest surviving column-supported temple in the World although the hypostyle hall containing 134 free standing columns is also world renowned and the backdrop for several Hollywood films. Free time in Luxor for shopping. Drive back to the Red Sea Safaga Port drop off at your cruise line terminal in Safaga port.
