Luxor west bank city tour

Firstly  breakfast is available at Luxor. You're taking your small party to the Luxor West Bank this morning.

Begin your tour of three additional Valley of Kings heritage sites with your guide.

Then, in Egypt's New Kingdom, the Valley of the Kings was a royal necropolis where pharaohs and powerful nobles were interred in rock-cut tombs. Depending on the type, they can range from modest burial chambers to complex mazes of rooms and passageways. Almost all tombs, including the pyramids, were attacked and looted in antiquity. Tutankhamen's tomb is one of the few that has remained sealed, and it houses practically everything, including his mummy.

After that, in a similar fashion, proceed to Queen Hatshepsut's old rock-cut tomb. The same painters who erected and adorned the tombs in the Valley of Kings were responsible for this. You'll pass the colossal Colossi of Memnon on your way back to your cruise ship.

Meanwhile, while sailing to Esna, you have the rest of the day to do whatever you like. There will be no tours or excursions today. As is traditional, afternoon tea is offered. In a similar vein, a Captain's Welcome cocktail reception will be held just before dinner tonight.

Finally, at night, the ship's disco will reopen. Today, spend the evening of your Nile cruise on the water in Esna.
