2 Days Trip to Luxor with King Tut Tomb and Hot Air Balloon from Makadi Bay
Day 1 – The Magnificent Temples of Luxor's East Bank
Your unforgettable journey begins with an early morning pickup from your resort in Makadi Bay. Relax in your private air-conditioned vehicle as you travel through the Eastern Desert toward Luxor, the ancient city of Thebes and one of the world’s greatest open-air museums.
Upon arrival, meet your expert Egyptologist guide and begin your exploration at the awe-inspiring Karnak Temple Complex, the largest religious center ever constructed. Built over nearly two thousand years, Karnak served as the spiritual heart of Ancient Egypt and the principal sanctuary of Amun-Ra.
Walk through the legendary Great Hypostyle Hall, where 134 gigantic sandstone columns rise majestically overhead, and admire towering obelisks, colossal statues, sacred lakes, and beautifully decorated sanctuaries while learning about the great Pharaohs who transformed Luxor into the center of the New Kingdom.
After enjoying lunch at a carefully selected local restaurant, continue to the elegant Luxor Temple, beautifully situated on the banks of the Nile River. Once connected to Karnak by the famous Avenue of Sphinxes, this magnificent monument played a central role in the ancient Opet Festival and features contributions from Amenhotep III, Ramses II, Tutankhamun, and Alexander the Great.
Explore the impressive colonnades, colossal statues, and ancient reliefs before transferring to your luxury hotel for check-in and a relaxing evening.
Guests may choose optional experiences such as the spectacular Sound and Light Show at Karnak Temple or a traditional Felucca sailing trip on the Nile while enjoying the magical atmosphere of Luxor after sunset.
Overnight in Luxor.
