Valley of the Kings - visit The west bank at Luxor. It is one of the most important archaeological sites in the world. It is much more than what we refer to as the Valley of the Kings, though many have called the whole of the area by that name. In fact, many good books on the west bank at Luxor (ancient Thebes) are titled,”Valley of the Kings”, even though they cover the entire area. It can be a bit confusing for the novice, particularly considering the actual conceptual scope of the religious concept. If one looks at just the Valley of the Kings, one only sees tombs, but the tombs were an integral part of larger mortuary complexes. Indeed the whole west bank is honeycombed with tombs, not just of the ancient Egyptian Kings, but of their families and the noblemen who served them.

Temple of Hatshepsut - Also you will visit Hatshepsut Temple ( Deir el-Bahari ) and visit the two colossal statues of Amenhotep III (Colossi of Memnon).

Temple of Karnak - Then start your tour to the East bank of Luxor. The Temple of Luxor and the Temple of Karnak. Unlike the West Bank, which was ever the main area for cemeteries and mortuary temples, the East Bank represented the main settlement of the living throughout the millennia - a role that has hardly changed.The vast majority of hotels and tourist facilities are to be found in the East Bank

Luxor Temple - The Temple of Luxor, open daily May-September 6am \

A must-do cruise if you visit Egypt - What a wonderful cruise! Thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality of the Staff and the guides. The history of Egypt is amazing and well explained by our guide Shiren. When our boat landed in Luxor, we were picked up by Islam who took us to the temple sites. We felt so comfortable in the company of Shiren and Islam, like we were old friends 😊 . Overall a big thumbs up 👍 for this cruise and our truly wonderful guides (now our friends), Shiren and Islam.

Best Nile Cruise and bang for your bucks - This was simply an amazing trip. Everything was spot on. The guides at every temple and historic site was so knowledge and spoke in clear English so it was easy for us to understand everything. The cruise ship was clean and food was absolutely delicious even for us who are vegetarians. This was one of our best vacations. Special thanks to Shireen and Eslam. Can’t wait to go back with my family.
