Early in the morning, we pick you up from one of the Marsa Alam Hotels and make our way to Luxor. In a small group, you can enjoy a relaxing drive towards Luxor East Bank to the first of many Luxor attractions, the

Karnak Temple

one of the largest temple complexes in the world welcomes you with the remains of a sphinx avenue, the way that one led from Luxor Temple to Karnak Temple has now been restored in long-term archaeological excavations. Our Egyptologist will explain to you the masterpiece of this temple construction and how its stones came from the quarries in the south of Egypt over Nile River to Luxor.

Hypostyle Hall

When entering the Karnak Temple, you first step into the big, famous pillared Hall that gives all its visitors the impression of having the dimension of ant. The impressive Hall is over 500 square meters big and one of the most visited open-air monuments in the world.

Karnak Obelisk

We are sure you will wonder how Egyptians managed to create these huge monuments in the time of the pharaohs to which also these 300-Ton Obelisk located inside the Karnak Temple belongs.

Karnak Sacred Lake

After a wonderful tour through the Karnak Temple, we visit the Karnak Sacred Lake on the edge of the temple complex. In ancient Egypt, this holy Lake was used for ceremonial ablutions and still filled with water. From there, we make our way to the next stop on our Luxor trip from Marsa Alam, the not less attractive Luxor West Bank.

Colossi of Memnon

After reaching the East Bank of the Nile River, our way leads us to the Colossi of Memnon, guardians of the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III standing guard on the site of the road to the Valley of the Kings. In the surrounding area, we make a stop for lunch before continuing our Luxor trip from Marsa Alam to the

Valley of the Kings

The Valley of the Kings is one of the most spectacular places to visit in Luxor. Here we visit 3 of the tombs you can choose from; 65 famous graves were discovered so far. Your guide is happy to help you choose the most interesting tombs.

Probably the best-known and at the same time most famous tomb in the Valley of the Kings is the tomb of Tutankhamun which can be visited for a surcharge together with the one of Seti I and Ramses VI.

When entering the tombs that lead deep into the rocky mountain, you will be overwhelmed by the well-preserved paintings on the walls that tell the story of the respective kings. After the visit to the Valley of the Kings, we drive with all these impressions in direction to the

Hatshepsut Temple

Hatshepsut, the only female regent, reigned for more than 22 years over whole Egypt. She had this architectural masterpiece built in a particularly strategic location on Luxor West Bank. You can access the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, built high up in the rocky mountains, via many steps. From here, you will be rewarded with a wide view over the riverbank of the Nile River at the front and will notice that the Hatshepsut Temple is secured from the back by high rock walls.

The terraced Hatshepsut Temple can still keep up with the most modern architectural construction methods to this day. At the top of the temple, you will be surprised by the wonderfully preserved reliefs covering the masonry. Our Egyptologist will be happy to answer any questions you may have about the history of the Hatshepsut Temple.

Enjoy the view over the Nile Valley before we go the stairs of the Hatshepsut Temple down to start with the transfer back from our Luxor trip from Marsa Alam – Karnak Temple – Valley of the Kings – Hatshepsut Temple  to your accommodation in Marsa Alam.
