Luxor Day Tour from Safaga Port
Overview

This full-day shore excursion from Safaga Port takes cruise passengers to Luxor to see the Karnak Temple complex, the Valley of the Kings, and the Temple of Hatshepsut in a single guided day.
After being met at the port, the group travels roughly three hours by air-conditioned vehicle to Luxor, arriving first at Karnak, regarded as the largest place of worship ever built, where the Great Hypostyle Hall's towering columns are a highlight. Following a restaurant lunch, the tour crosses to the West Bank, passing the Colossi of Memnon before entering the Valley of the Kings to view royal tombs cut into the cliffs, and concluding at Hatshepsut's terraced mortuary temple at Deir el-Bahari.
An English-speaking guide and a private air-conditioned vehicle travel with the group, and the price includes entrance fees to the listed sites, lunch, bottled water on board, and all taxes and service charges; only tipping and unlisted extras are additional.
Because pickup and return are arranged directly at Safaga Port and the day is built around the ship's schedule, this tour is designed for cruise passengers who want to see Luxor's East and West Bank highlights, from Karnak's pillared halls to the royal tombs across the river, without arranging their own transport for the roughly three-hour drive each way.
