Luxor Day Trip from Alexandria Port – Private Tour by Private Vehicle

Luxor — ancient Thebes — is 680km from Alexandria. This is a long private day trip, but the Valley of the Kings and Karnak Temple are among the most extraordinary places on earth. Many cruise guests consider it the highlight of their entire Egypt trip.

What You Will See

• Valley of the Kings — The royal necropolis of the New Kingdom pharaohs. At least three tombs included, with your Egyptologist’s full narrative. The tomb of Tutankhamun is available as an optional extra.
• Karnak Temple Complex — The largest religious building ever constructed, built over 2,000 years. The Great Hypostyle Hall — 134 massive columns — is one of the most overwhelming architectural spaces in human history. See more at Luxor culture.
• Luxor Temple — Beautifully preserved New Kingdom temple on the banks of the Nile, dramatically lit at night.
