Marsa Alam

See the attractions of Egypt's "open-air museum" on a Luxor Trip starting in Marsa Alam. Visit the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, and Luxor and Karnak Temples. Return in the evening to Marsa Alam. We will transport you directly to Luxor from your accommodation in a luxurious air-conditioned bus. You will start by seeing the Karnak Temple, the biggest place of worship ever constructed. Ipet-isut, its prehistoric name, meaning "the most sacred site." Generations of pharaohs spent more than 2000 years building the temple complex. A great forest of pillars in the massive "Hypo-style Hall." Following a meal at a café along the Nile, you will go to the west bank of this majestic river to see the two enormous sculptures known as the "Colossi of Memnon" by Amenhotep III. The Valley of the Kings, where exquisite tombs were uncovered, will be your next stop. Deeply carved into the desert rock, those tombs were brimming with valuables for the pharaoh's enjoyment. Moreover, you will go to the magnificent Hatshepsut Temple. This magnificent temple rises in a succession of terraces and mirages from the desert plain in honor of Queen Hatshepsut, the sole female pharaoh of Ancient Egypt. Afterward, we'll take you to a workshop where Egyptians painstakingly create the goods sold in their shops.
