Itinerary
Your tour guide will collect you from Safaga Port, marking the beginning of a memorable Egypt shore excursion.
The first site on your itinerary is Luxor Temple, which, unlike most other ancient Egyptian temples, is not aligned on an east-west axis but faces Karnak Temple. This unusual alignment was designed for the Opet Festival, where statues of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu were carried from Karnak to Luxor in a ceremonial procession to honour the hidden god Amenemopet. A fascinating stop on your shore excursion from Safaga to Luxor.
Next, you’ll visit the Howard Carter House, where the renowned archaeologist lived while working in the Valley of the Kings. On 4 November 1922, Carter uncovered the first signs of Tutankhamun’s tomb. By 26 November, he had reached a sealed doorway concealing the pharaoh’s treasures. It’s a brilliant insight into one of the greatest archaeological finds on your Egypt shore excursion.
Your journey continues to the Valley of the Kings, where Ramesses XI was the last known royal to be buried. Some believe local nobles continued to make use of nearby tombs. With 63 tombs uncovered, this area remains an essential stop on any Luxor day trip from Safaga Port.
You can set your face for Ramesseum, the mortuary temple of Ramesses II, also called the "Temple of Millions of Years". With such vastness and glory to its name, any Egypt tour list would beg to include the temple for a visit.
Finally, wrap up your excursion with the Colossi of Memnon—two enormous statues of Amenhotep III that once stood at the entrance to his now-ruined mortuary complex. Though time and natural events have eroded the original structure, these statues still stand tall, providing the perfect ending to your Safaga shore excursion.
