Luxor/Karnak (Safaga), Egypt Cruise Port

Safaga is an Egyptian seaport town that lies off the coast of the Red Sea, and has a number of phosphate mines that make the region considered to be the country's phosphate export center. However, the port town is also very popular amongst tourists because it quickly rose as an important area for water sports and its waters have spectacular dive sites. The region's untouched beaches and the stiff winds that come from the Red Sea made the town a good destination for hosting the 2014 Kite-surfing World Cup. Safaga is really known better for being the gateway to Egypt's ancient ruins that tell of the country's mysterious past. Featured below are some of the recommended experiences, attractions, and activities that visitors could enjoy after cruising to Luxor/Karnak (Safaga), Egypt:
