Start your day with a delightful buffet breakfast on board the Nile cruise ship. Your Egyptologist guide will accompany you on a tour of Luxor's West Bank, where you'll discover the fascinating treasures of ancient Egypt.
First, marvel at the Colossi of Memnon, two colossal statues of Amenhotep III that stand tall in the desert. Learn about their historical significance and admire their impressive craftsmanship.
Continue to the Valley of the Kings, a remarkable necropolis where more than 62 New Kingdom pharaohs, including Tutankhamun and Ramses II, were laid to rest. Explore the elaborately decorated tombs carved into the mountainside and marvel at the intricate paintings and hieroglyphics that adorn the walls.
