Discover the great monuments of the glorious city of Luxor while onshore vacationing in the Red Sea. Your day begins with pickup right from Safaga Port, boarding an air-conditioned vehicle bound for Luxor. Cross the desert as dawn breaks, and arrive at the storied city of Thebes—ancient Egypt’s seat of power. Your Egyptologist guide leads you first to the Karnak Temple Complex, where you’ll stroll among towering columns, massive pylons, and sacred sanctuaries echoing centuries of worship.

Then, head across the Nile to the West Bank, where the silence of the Valley of the Kings invites you to enter tombs carved deep into the mountainside. Later, visit the elegant Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, rising in bold terraces from the desert face, and admire its beautifully preserved reliefs. Pause at the Colossi of Memnon, two monumental seated statues watching over the plain, before your journey winds back to Safaga Port, leaving you with vivid memories of Luxor’s timeless wonders.

Was du tun wirst

Colossi of Memnon

The Colossi of Memnon are two massive stone statues standing on the west bank of the Nile in Luxor, Egypt. Dating back over 3,400 years, they once guarded the entrance to the mortuary temple of Pharaoh Amenhotep III. Each statue rises about 18 meters high and depicts the king seated on his throne, facing the rising sun. Though the temple behind them has largely disappeared, the Colossi remain a powerful symbol of ancient Egypt’s architectural skill and royal grandeur.
