Luxor is one of the most popular cities in Egypt among tourists. If you have been to Egypt and have not visited Luxor, consider that you have not seen the most interesting in this ancient country. Located 650 kilometers from Cairo, the city is covered with the mysterious grandeur of the past.
During the tour you will visit the Karnak temple - one of the greatest architectural buildings of ancient Egypt. The peculiarity of this temple is that it was built over many years. It makes no sense to talk about its splendor, it must be seen with your own eyes.
Lunch will be held in a restaurant on the banks of the Nile, after which there will be a crossing to the other shore. Then you will see the Valley of the Queens. Here you can see the tombs of princes who died at an early age, as well as the tombs of the wives of pharaohs. Each tomb is decorated with unique drawings. One of the most interesting objects to visit during the excursion to Luxor is the famous temple of Hatshepsut, skillfully carved into the rock and consisting of three large terraces, which are located one above the other. It is difficult to imagine how the engineers of the time could achieve such an excellent result.
After completing the tour, there will be a return road to Marsa Alam on a comfortable bus.
