Day Trip to Luxor from Safaga Port

Your Egypt shore excursion begins as a professional Cairo Top Tours representative meets you right at the cruise exit gate in Safaga Port. This experience is one of the most popular Safaga beach excursions and is frequently featured in customized Egypt shore excursion plans for cruise travelers.

From there, you’ll travel in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle on a scenic three-hour drive to Luxor. Upon arrival, your Luxor tour from Safaga kicks off with a visit to the awe-inspiring Karnak Temple Complex—the largest religious structure ever built by human hands and a true highlight of many luxury Egypt tour packages.
 

Before heading across the Nile to the West Bank of Luxor, take a moment to marvel at the grandeur of the hypostyle hall with all the towering columns. On the way to the Valley of the Kings, you stop at the iconic Colossi of Memnon, two enormous statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III that have stood for thousands of years.

This royal necropolis was the last resting place of 62 pharaohs of the New Kingdom, the likes of Tutankhamun, Thutmose III, and Ramesses II. Their tombs are carved right into the mountain, featuring colorful paintings meant for the kings' visit into the afterlife. Next, visit the impressive Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari, dedicated to Egypt's first historically recognized female pharaoh. This part of the Safaga shore excursion is a prime attraction for history buffs as well as anyone intrigued by the heritage of ancient Egypt.

Then lunch at an Egyptian restaurant. While you enjoy the lunch, an exquisite felucca sailing on the Nile River offers a perfect backdrop for capturing beautiful photos and making unforgettable memories during this peaceful moment. As the day concludes, your guide will accompany you back to your cruise ship at Safaga Port.

We hope this incredible journey becomes one of the most unforgettable moments of your Egypt tour.
