Ancient Egypt on a unique Cairo to Luxor tour with an overnight stay on a docked Nile cruise ship. This memorable experience combines the comfort of a luxury cruise atmosphere with an in-depth exploration of Luxor’s most famous historical landmarks.
Your journey begins with a flight from Cairo to Luxor, where you will meet your professional Egyptologist guide and begin exploring the incredible treasures of the ancient city of Thebes. Start your tour on Luxor’s West Bank, visiting the legendary Valley of the Kings, the royal burial ground of the New Kingdom pharaohs, where beautifully decorated tombs reveal stories of ancient beliefs about the afterlife.
Continue to the magnificent Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, an architectural masterpiece built into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari, and stop at the impressive Colossi of Memnon, two massive statues that have guarded the Theban necropolis for more than three millennia.
In the evening, check in to a docked Nile cruise ship, where you can relax and enjoy dinner while experiencing the elegant ambiance of life on the Nile. The next day, explore the spectacular Karnak Temple Complex before returning to Cairo with unforgettable memories of Luxor.
