2-Day Luxor & Abu Simbel Tour from Soma Bay

Your private Egyptologist guide and air-conditioned vehicle will collect you bright and early from your Soma Bay hotel, starting your immersive journey towards Luxor. We'll begin our explorations on the Nile's West Bank, the ancient 'City of the Dead.' Here, delve into the legendary Valley of the Kings, the secluded burial ground of New Kingdom pharaohs, where intricate hieroglyphs and vibrant paintings adorn the tombs (entry to three tombs included). Next, admire the distinctive architecture of the Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, Egypt’s most successful female pharaoh, carved into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari. Before crossing back to the East Bank, pause at the colossal Colossi of Memnon, two massive statues of Amenhotep III standing stoic in the agricultural fields. Enjoy a delightful lunch at a local restaurant offering scenic views. In the afternoon, prepare to be awestruck by the sheer scale of the Karnak Temple Complex, the largest ancient religious site in the world. Wander through its vast courtyards, towering hypostyle halls, and sacred lakes, dedicated primarily to the god Amun-Ra. After a day rich in discovery, we'll continue our journey south to Aswan, where you'll check into your comfortable five-star hotel for the evening.
