Grand South: Makadi Bay's 2-Day Tour to the Nile's Greatest Temples

Imagine seeing history unfold before your eyes on a two-day Makadi Bay tour to Luxor and Abu Simbel, where enduring architecture will highlight all the qualities that make Egypt the best place to spend a once-in-a-lifetime holiday. You may go from Makadi Bay to the golden city of Luxor and the last border of the Abu Simbel Temple, both of which are magnificent havens.

Makadi Bay Excursion to Luxor & Abu Simbel in Two Days

Day 1: Makadi Bay to Luxor – Luxor Attractions

On the first day, you will be picked up from your Makadi Bay hotel by an AC vehicle to begin your two-day trip to Luxor and Abu Simbel. When you arrive, you will be met by a private tour guide who will show you:

The Valley of Kings

Your Makadi Bay excursions will take you inside the mountain to a heavenly necropolis that serves as a haven for 63 mesmerizing tombs dating from the new kingdom (1570-1070 BC) and containing incredible treasures, golden artifacts, captivating decorations, and the remains of famous pharaohs such as King Rameses II, Tutankhamun, and others.

Temple of Hatshepsut

On the first day of your magical day tour to Luxor, you will see one of Egypt’s most protected archaeological and attractive destinations, “Deir El-Bahari” A.K.A Djeser-Djeseru (Holy of Holies), which stands as the finest example of ancient Egyptian architecture and showcases Queen Hatshepsut’s great long heritage (1478-1485 BC).

Memnon’s Colossi

During the two-day journey from Makadi Bay to Luxor and Abu Simbel, you will have the opportunity to see an 18-meter-high (60-foot-tall) marvel at the gateway to Luxor. The Colossi of Memnon were built to resemble Pharaoh Amenhotep III (1386-1350) and were destroyed by an earthquake in 27 BC, only to be reassembled in 199 BC.

Lunch will be provided on an island, followed by a boat ride on the Nile, before you go to:

Temple of Karnak

The two-day excursion from Makadi Bay to Luxor and Abu Simbel will allow you to explore one of the largest artificial religious structures and open-air museums on the planet, dating back to 1500 BC. Spanning 247 acres, it houses various temples that served as worship centers for the Theban triad.

Next, you’ll be driven to the railway station to catch your first-class train to Aswan, where you’ll head straight to your hotel for the night.

Day 2: Tour to Abu Simbel and return to Makadi Bay

End your Makadi Bay Excursion to Luxor & Abu Simbel in Two Days by visiting Abu Simbel temples. You will have your breakfast boxes and check out of the hotel in the early morning, then join your private tour guide for a visit to the famed Abu Simbel.

Temples of Abu Simbel

Your two-day Makadi Bay Excursion to Luxor and Abu Simbel takes you to a remarkable masterpiece created in 1200 BC by Ramses the Great to immortalize his legacy and love for Queen Nefertari.

Built between 1264 BC and 1244 BC, it honors the ancient Egyptian deities during the Miracle Sun Festival, held every year on February 22nd and October 22nd.

After your tour, you’ll head to Aswan for lunch at a local restaurant before boarding your first-class train to Luxor, returning to your hotel in Makadi Bay.
