5 Days Nile Cruise from El Gouna

After breakfast onboard your Nile Cruise, you will join your Egyptologist guide to explore Luxor's West Bank, including:

Valley of the Kings

Valley of the Kings is one of ancient Egypt's most extraordinary archaeological treasures, hidden beneath the rugged hills of Luxor's Theban Necropolis. Home to more than 60 royal tombs, this UNESCO World Heritage Site served as the final resting place of many New Kingdom pharaohs and nobles, including Tutankhamun, Seti I, and Ramesses II. Inside, visitors discover breathtaking wall paintings, intricate hieroglyphs, and remarkable funerary art that reveal the religious beliefs, royal traditions, and journey to the afterlife of ancient Egypt's greatest rulers.

Afterward, have your lunch, then move to visit one of the most beautiful temples in Egypt:

Hatshepsut Temple

Hatshepsut Temple remains one of the most magical pieces of ancient Egyptian architectural art, which was created to stand the test of time for the sole purpose of immortalizing the golden legacy of Queen Hatshepsut (1508-1458 BC). This classical piece of New Kingdom architecture is a true masterpiece filled with marvelous examples of true beauty.

Then you’ll head towards the two massive statues that are called:

Colossi of Memnon

Colossi of Memnon are two colossal quartzite statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III (reigned c. 1391–1353 BC), originally erected around 1350 BC to guard the entrance to his magnificent mortuary temple on Luxor's West Bank. Carved from massive blocks of quartzite transported from near modern-day Cairo, the statues are all that remain of what was once one of ancient Egypt's largest temple complexes, which was largely destroyed over time by earthquakes and the annual Nile floods. Intricate inscriptions and carvings on the colossi continue to reveal fascinating details about Amenhotep III's reign, royal power, and artistic achievements.
