The best trip to Luxor from Safaga port

Your Safaga shore excursions will begin when your tour guide picks you up at Safaga Port, right near the ship’s exit. From there, enjoy a scenic drive of nearly three hours from Safaga to Luxor, where your Egypt shore excursion officially starts.

The tour begins with a visit to the Luxor Temple, one of the most beautiful and well-preserved temples in Egypt. This landmark is a must-see during any Egypt tour. Continuing your Luxor day tour, you’ll head to the Valley of the Kings, home to the royal tombs of ancient Egypt’s pharaohs. The first burial in this royal necropolis was for Thutmose I of the 18th Dynasty. This site, located in southern Egypt, is known as the Valley of the Gates of the Kings.

Your Egypt tour from Safaga continues with a visit to Nefertari’s tomb in the Valley of the Queens, a stunning piece of history considered the cornerstone of West Thebes.

Next, visit the Dra Abu El Naga, a historical necropolis characterized by a unique ambiance, followed by the Ramesseum, the mortuary temple of Ramses II, located on the West Bank of the Nile. Most of the original building had already succumbed to destruction, but some columns and statues still stood, bearing testimony to the magnificence that was.

End your Luxor day tour from Safaga Port at the Colossi of Memnon, two massive statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III that once stood at the entrance of his mortuary temple.

After your exploration, your tour guide will escort you back to your ship at Safaga Port (approximately 220 km), marking the end of your unforgettable Egypt shore excursion.
