Private Luxor Highlights Tour from Marsa Alam
The tour begins with an early morning pickup from your central Marsa Alam hotel in time for a 4:30 am departure. Travel in the comfort of a private vehicle and set out on a 3.5-hour journey to Luxor, accompanied by a private Egyptologist guide. On arrival, start your tour on the West Bank, exploring the UNESCO-listed Valley of the Kings (Necropolis of Thebes), where the mountains are home to more than 63 royal tombs dating from the 2nd century BC. Venture inside to see some of the tombs and perhaps opt to visit the most famous of all - the tomb of Tutankhamun (extra cost). Before breaking for lunch, continue exploring the surrounding archaeological wonders, including the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut (Deir el Bahari) and the Colossi of Memnon. After a typical Egyptian-style lunch (included), cross over to the modern city on the river's East Bank. First, take a tour of the Karnak Temples, a vast complex built between 2055 BC and 100 BC, where highlights include the Avenue of the Sphinxes, the Great Hypostyle Hall, and the Sacred Lake. Then, set sail aboard a traditional felucca boat for a 30-minute cruise along the Nile, and end your tour with a visit to Luxor Temple. On your return to Marsa Alam, your tour ends with drop-off at your hotel.
