Day 1: Board the ship and see the attractions in Luxor

The Kings’ Valley
The Valley of the Kings, the ultimate resting place of Egypt’s kings from the 18th to the 20th dynasty, is where the tombs of renowned pharaohs Ramses II and Tutankhamun are located.
Temple of Hatshepsut
Hatshepsut, the queen who aspired to be king, was a leader adored by her subjects but always surrounded by controversies. One of the greatest intact examples of its sort is her magnificent temple on Luxor’s West Bank.
Memnon’s Colossi
Only two enormous stone sculptures of King Amenhotep III survive from a funerary temple that was once completely constructed. The sculptures are constructed from quartzite sandstone stones that were originally found in Cairo and transported 700 km to Luxor.
Enjoy your lunch on the Dahabiya after that, and then follow your guide as you visit:
Temple of Karnak
The Karnak temple is the most spectacular landmark in Egypt. It is the biggest temple complex ever constructed by humans and marks the culmination of the labors of numerous pharaohs and generations of ancient builders. On a 247-acre plot of ground, the Temple of Karnak consists of three major temples, many smaller walled temples, and several peripheral temples.

Gebel El Silsila
On both the west and east banks of the Nile, the location offered several stone quarries. Many shrines were built at the location by authorities who would have been in charge of the stone quarrying.
