You visit Karnak and Luxor Temple on the East Bank, then the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut and the Colossi of Memnon on the West Bank, with lunch, an English-speaking guide and an air-conditioned vehicle, from $220 per person.
Luxor is about 220 km from Safaga across the Eastern Desert, roughly 3 hours by road each way. Your guide meets you at the ship with a name sign, and we plan the day backwards from your all-aboard time, so the time at each temple depends on your ship’s hours in port. Luxor is the most popular excursion from Safaga, and for good reason: it is where you find most of Egypt’s best-preserved temples and royal tombs.
We guarantee you will be back at Safaga Port at least 2 hours before your ship departs. If we ever miss that, Egypt Day Tours takes full responsibility and pays for your hotel and your flight to the ship’s next port of call, so you can rejoin your cruise.
