TWO DAY TRIP TO LUXOR FROM MARSA ALAM : A Private Journey from Marsa Alam

Description

TWO DAY TRIP TO LUXOR FROM MARSA ALAM

🌅 Day 1: Sunset Temples & Nile Nights

04:00 AM – Sunrise Departure

You’ll be collected at dawn in a private, air-conditioned vehicle and begin an interesting 4.5‑hour drive through desert landscapes toward Luxor. With bottled water in hand, the journey feels more like a scenic preview of what’s to come.

09:30 AM – Karnak Temple Arrival

Your local Egyptologist guide will lead you through the colossal columns of Karnak, a sprawling complex built over centuries. Walk among the towering Hypostyle Hall, marvel at obelisks inscribed with regal declarations, and imagine ancient rituals that once filled the stone courtyards.

12:30 PM – Luxor Temple & Lunch

Stroll down the avenue of sphinxes into Luxor Temple, built by Amenhotep III and Rameses II to honor the festival of Opet. After exploring its chapels and statues, enjoy a freshly prepared Egyptian lunch nearby—maybe kushari or grilled kofta under palm shade.

Evening Option – Sound & Light Show

As the lights bloom across the Karnak facade, opt for the Karnak Sound & Light show, which dramatizes ancient stories with narration and lighting—an atmospheric way to experience Thebes after dark.

🎉 Overnight stay at your choice of boutique luxury hotels: Nile Palace, Sonesta St. George, or Pyramisa Luxor, complete with breakfast for Day 2.

🌇 Day 2: Tombs, Temples & Nubian Elegance

07:00 AM – Begin West Bank Tour

Fuel up with breakfast before crossing the Nile to the Valley of the Kings, the final resting place of Egypt’s most powerful Pharaohs. Our guide will escort you into three tombs, each adorned with vivid wall paintings and exquisite hieroglyphs—walk beside Ramses II or feature young King Tut’s resting place (optional).

09:30 AM – Queen Hatshepsut’s Terraced Temple

Then, explore the stunning Deir el‑Bahari, the temple of Hatshepsut. Its tiered facade climbs into sheer limestone cliffs—a design that blends seamlessly with the desert itself.

11:00 AM – Colossi of Memnon

Pause at the imposing Colossi, two monolithic statues that once flanked a grand mortuary temple. Today they stand tall, quietly guarding the West Bank as they have for millennia.

12:30 PM – Lunch by the Nile

Enjoy a relaxed meal in Luxor, with local specialties and shisha optional if you’d like to unwind.

1:30 PM – Free Bazaar Time

Stroll through local bazaars and pick up spices, papyrus art, or souvenirs—essen­tial if you’d like to bring a piece of Luxor home with you.

2:30 PM – Return Trip to Marsa Alam

We’ll begin the drive back to Marsa Alam, arriving in the late afternoon after a day full of immersion in Egypt’s ancient capital.
