Luxor Highlights from Marsa Alam
Pick up from your hotel in Marsa Alam by your tour guide or representative in a modern air-conditioned vehicle.
Visit the famous Karnak Temples, the largest place of worship ever built. Its ancient name, Ipet-isut, means "the most sacred of places." This complex of temples was built over more than two thousand years by generation after generation of pharaohs.
Within the complex, discover the great "Hypostyle Hall," an incredible forest of giant pillars.
Have lunch at a quality restaurant.
Head to the West Bank of the Nile River, starting with the colossal statues of Amenhotep III, known as the Colossi of Memnon.
Visit the Valley of the Kings, where magnificent tombs were discovered. These tombs were carved deep into the desert rock, richly decorated, and filled with treasures for the afterlife of the pharaohs.
Continue to the Temple of Hatshepsut at El Deir El Bahary. This impressive temple, dedicated to Queen Hatshepsut, the only female pharaoh, rises out of the desert plain in a series of terraces and merges with the sheer limestone cliffs that surround it.
End the tour and transfer back to your hotel in Marsa Alam.
