Detailed itinerary

Day 1: Arrival and Exploration
Your adventure begins as you arrive in Luxor, where your expert guide will welcome you and start your journey into the wonders of ancient history. Your first stop will be Karnak Temple, the largest religious complex ever built. Walk through its massive halls, admire towering columns, and explore the fascinating inscriptions that tell stories of powerful rulers.

Next, enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant before heading to the majestic Luxor Temple, beautifully illuminated by the afternoon sun. Connected to Karnak by an ancient ceremonial road, this temple stands as a testament to centuries of history and architectural brilliance.

As the sun sets, check in to your comfortable hotel for a relaxing evening. You’ll have free time to unwind or explore the city at your own pace. If you wish, an optional cultural experience can be arranged, such as a traditional felucca ride on the Nile.

Continue to the Temple of Hatshepsut, an architectural masterpiece built into the cliffs. Learn about the remarkable female pharaoh who defied traditions and left behind an awe-inspiring legacy. The temple’s grand terraces and breathtaking design make it a must-visit site.

Next, stop at the iconic Colossi of Memnon, two massive statues that have stood for millennia, guarding the entrance to a long-lost temple.

After fulfilling morning of exploration, enjoy a final lunch at a handpicked restaurant before beginning your comfortable return journey to Safaga. As you drive back, reflect on the unforgettable experiences and the timeless beauty of Luxor’s ancient wonders.
