Quick answer: Luxor Shore Excursion from Safaga Port lasts 12 hours in Luxor, from $202.00 per person, with a licensed guide and hotel pick-up.
Overview
Docking in Safaga is your chance to see Luxor, about 220 km and three hours away by road. Your guide meets you at the cruise exit and brings you back to the ship before 6 pm.
You start at Karnak, the largest temple complex ever built, developed from the Middle Kingdom to Roman times, and walk through its Hypostyle Hall. After lunch you cross to the West Bank for the Colossi of Memnon, the royal tombs of the Valley of the Kings and the terraced temple of Queen Hatshepsut.
Private air-conditioned transport, entrance fees, lunch and water are included.
The price per person depends on how many travellers share the car and guide, and children get reduced rates: see Prices by group size below.
