SAFAGA
TOUR TO LUXOR ITINERARY 1
A tour
from Safaga to Luxor typically involves visiting some of the most iconic
historical sites in Egypt. Luxor is often referred to as the world's greatest
open-air museum due to its wealth of ancient temples and tombs. Here's an
overview of what you can expect on a Safaga to Luxor tour:
Transportation: The tour usually starts with
transportation from Safaga to Luxor, which is approximately a three to
four-hour drive depending on the traffic and road conditions. Transportation
can be arranged by private car, minivan, or bus, depending on the size of the
group.
Karnak Temple Complex: One of the most
significant ancient Egyptian temple complexes, Karnak is a vast open-air museum
that covers an area of over 100 hectares. It features a collection of temples,
sanctuaries, obelisks, and pylons dedicated to various deities. The Temple of
Amun-Ra is one of the highlights of Karnak.
Luxor Temple: Located on the east bank of the
Nile River, Luxor Temple is another prominent archaeological site. It was built
during the New Kingdom period and is dedicated to the Theban Triad of Amun,
Mut, and Khonsu. The temple is known for its grand entrance, colossal statues,
and well-preserved hieroglyphs.
Valley of the Kings: Situated on the west bank
of the Nile, the Valley of the Kings is a necropolis that served as the burial
place for pharaohs and powerful nobles of the New Kingdom period. Visitors can
explore several tombs, including the famous tomb of Tutankhamun (KV62). Note
that not all tombs are open to the public at all times.
Hatshepsut Temple: This mortuary temple is
dedicated to Queen Hatshepsut, one of the few female pharaohs in ancient Egypt.
The temple is known for its unique architectural design, including terraces and
colonnades, set against the backdrop of the desert cliffs.
Colossi of Memnon: These two massive stone
statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III once guarded his mortuary temple but are now
the only remaining structures. They are popular for photo opportunities and are
often included in tours to Luxor.
Optional Add-ons: Depending on the duration of
your tour and your interests, you may have the opportunity to visit additional
sites such as the Luxor Museum, the Temple of Medinet Habu, the Ramesseum, or
take a felucca ride on the Nile River.
