2 Day Luxor Tour from Marsa Alam — Tour Overview

Marsa Alam is one of Egypt’s most beautiful and peaceful coastal retreats — but just beyond the Eastern Desert, the ancient world is waiting to show you something completely different. This 2 day Luxor tour from Marsa Alam transforms your beach holiday into an extraordinary two-day journey through the greatest concentration of ancient wonders on earth. Your adventure begins before dawn, when a hot air balloon rises silently above Luxor’s West Bank and the Valley of the Kings, the temples, and the golden Nile spread out beneath you in the most breathtaking sunrise panorama imaginable. Then you land and go deeper — your private Egyptologist guide leading you into painted royal tombs, up to the clifftop terraces of Hatshepsut’s temple, and through the towering columns of Karnak as the day unfolds around you. An overnight stay in a handpicked Luxor hotel lets the magic of the ancient city surround you before the drive back to the coast the following day. Every detail is handled — all you need to bring is your sense of wonder.
