Itinerary

  1. 1Luxor Day Trip from Marsa Alam

    Your adventure begins early in the morning when you are picked up from your hotel in Marsa Alam and driven in comfort across the desert to Luxor. As you approach the city, the timeless beauty of the Nile Valley unfolds before you. Your exploration starts on the East Bank, where you will visit the awe-inspiring Karnak Temple, the largest religious complex ever constructed, famous for its towering columns and intricate hieroglyphs. Continue to Luxor Temple, a magnificent structure built by Amenhotep III and later expanded by Ramses II, showcasing the splendor of ancient Egyptian architecture. After completing your visits on the East Bank, enjoy a relaxing lunch at a local restaurant before crossing the Nile to the West Bank. Here, you will discover the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut at Deir El Bahari, a masterpiece of ancient design dedicated to one of Egypt’s most remarkable female rulers. The tour also includes a stop at the Colossi of Memnon, two colossal statues of King Amenhotep III that have watched over the Theban necropolis for centuries. As the day concludes, you will be comfortably transferred back to your hotel in Marsa Alam, carrying with you unforgettable memories of Luxor’s ancient wonders.

What to pack

Clothing

  • Loose cotton or linen — it is hot in the sun and cold on the water after dark
  • A light long-sleeved layer for evenings and for sun cover at open sites
  • Shoulders and knees covered for mosques and churches; a scarf for women at mosques
  • One warm layer between November and February — desert nights drop sharply

Feet

  • Closed walking shoes you have already broken in — temple ground is uneven stone and sand
  • Sandals or slip-ons for the boat and the hotel

Sun and heat

  • A wide-brimmed hat — there is almost no shade at Giza, Karnak or Abu Simbel
  • High-factor sunscreen and lip balm with SPF
  • Sunglasses
  • A refillable water bottle

Practical

  • A universal adapter — Egypt uses European two-pin type C and F sockets at 220V
  • Any medication you take, in its original packaging
  • Small notes in local currency for tips and small purchases
  • A power bank — you will be off a socket for most of each day
