Itinerary
The tour guide will pick you up from Safaga Port and begin your exciting Egypt shore excursion.
Your first stop is Luxor Temple, unlike most other ancient Egyptian temples, it is not aligned on an east-west axis, but faces Karnak Temple. This orientation relates to the Opet Festival, when statues of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu were brought from Karnak to Luxor Temple in a grand procession to meet the god Amenemopet. It’s a highlight on any shore excursion from Safaga to Luxor.
Next, visit the Howard Carter House, once home to the famous archaeologist. On November 4, 1922, Carter discovered the first sign of Tutankhamun’s tomb. It wasn’t until November 26 that the sealed doorway hiding the treasure was reached. This historical stop is a must-see on your Egypt shore excursion.
Continue to the Valley of the Kings. The last pharaoh buried officially in the valley was Ramesses XI, although it might have been used by nobles thereafter. There are said to be about 63 tombs in the valley, making it a prime stop on your day excursion around Luxor from Safaga Port.
Next, explore the Ramesseum, also known as the “Temple of Millions of Years” for its vast size and dedication to Ramesses II. A powerful symbol of New Kingdom architecture, it’s a fascinating part of any Egypt tour.
Finally, visit the imposing Colossi of Memnon, two gigantic statues of Amenhotep III, which originally stood at the entrance of his mortuary complex. Though time and natural disasters caused parts to collapse, the site remains a powerful conclusion to your Safaga shore excursion.
