The tour guide will pick you up from the Safaga port and take you to see:
The first place, Luxor Temple, not like most of the other temples in ancient Egyptian history, is not located in an east-west axis but is directed towards Karnak Temple. That was the result of being the main venue for one of the most important of ancient Egyptian religious celebrations, when the cult images of Amun, his wife Mut, and their son, the lunar god Khonsu, were taken from their temples in Karnak and transferred in a grand procession so they could be able to connect with the god that resides there, Amenemopet. This was the Opet Festival's reason and meaning. It’s one of the must-see stops on any shore excursion from Safaga to Luxor.
The second place will be Howard Carter House, the house of the great scientist. On November 4, 1922, Carter found the first sign of what proved to be Tutankhamun’s tomb, but it was not until November 26 that a second sealed doorway was reached, behind which was the treasure. This historical site is a fascinating part of your Egypt shore excursion.
Then you will visit the Valley of the Kings. The last royal buried there was the mummy of Ramesses XI, but there are some other proofs and opinions that nobles continued to steal tombs around the area for a while after the last pharaonic burial. But they believed that the valley contains 63 tombs. It’s a key highlight on any Safaga shore excursion or Luxor day tour from Safaga Port.
And we will continue our journey to explore the Ramesseum. It was called a “million years temple” because of its huge surface area and is an iconic addition to any Egypt tour.
Finally, we will visit the Colossi of Memnon. The two great and huge statues of Amenhotep III were originally built as a gate to the large mortuary complex of Amenhotep III. Some natural factors including floods, earthquakes, and other events made some features disappear from it. In addition, ancient Egyptians used some of the monuments of the complex to build other attractions. A perfect final stop to wrap up your unforgettable Safaga shore excursion.
