The Luxor trip can be the highlight of your vacation in Marsa Alam. Experience Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple, Hatshepsut Temple and Memnon Colossi.
The sequence:
Hotel pick up is around 4:30 a.m. You will be driven to the eastern desert in an air-conditioned vehicle, car or bus. The distance to Luxor is 300 km.
When you start in the East Bank of Nile, you should first welcome yourself to the largest temple in Egypt (if it is the area) - Karnak Temple. You can visit this temple dozens of times, there will always be something new for you.
On the west
After lunch we continue on the other side of the Nile - the West Bank.
The first attraction will surely be 2 Colossi of Memnon. Colossi of Amenhotep III, by the man who was probably the grandfather of King Tutankhamun.
Hatshepsut Temple will then stand in your way. Who doesn't know the famous view!
The last, but no less important stop belongs to the Valley of the Kings, the famous cemetery of Pharaoh of Thebes.
For gifts and souvenirs, ask the guide to visit the local alabaster shop and papyrus gallery.
It's hard to resist some original pieces!
After you leave the city of Luxor, you will probably be back at the hotel between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m.
