Itinerary

Luxor Tour from Marsa Alam

 

Your day begins early with a comfortable pickup from your hotel in Marsa Alam, where you'll board a private, air-conditioned vehicle for a scenic drive through the Nile Valley toward Luxor.    

 

Upon arrival, your Egyptologist guide will lead you to the East Bank to explore the massive Karnak Temple, once the spiritual heart of ancient Thebes. Then, continue to the Luxor Temple, a beautifully preserved site linked to kings, gods, and festivals.    

 

After lunch at a local restaurant, cross to the West Bank to uncover the secrets of the Valley of the Kings, where pharaohs like Tutankhamun were laid to rest. Next, admire the awe-inspiring Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, set dramatically against the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari.    

 

Conclude your day at the Colossi of Memnon, two silent guardians of ancient Thebes, before you head back with your guide, carrying stories carved in stone and memories that last forever.

Thank you all for your great support and for making the experience smooth and pleasant. I highly appreciate your efforts and look forward to using your service again in the future.

Best travel agency This review is a true evidence to the great experience and happiness I had with this company. Honestly I've never dealt with people like the team at Respect Tours. They are incredibly friendly and welcoming especially Mr. David Asaad who is one of the most wonderful people I've ever met. He is very kind easy to get along with and has a big heart. His professionalism was outstanding and he is also a great leader with confidence and knowledge I would also like to give a special thanks to our driver Mohsen. He was very friendly helpful and professional throughout our trips and made us feel comfortable and well taken care of. I truly thank the wonderful Respect Tours team and wish them continued success and all the best.

Their professionalism, availability and warm attitude truly made a difference and contributed to making our stay even more enjoyable.
