Cross to the West Bank of Luxor, the royal necropolis of ancient Thebes and home to some of Egypt’s most remarkable monuments. Begin your tour at the Valley of the Kings, where pharaohs of the New Kingdom were laid to rest in elaborately decorated tombs carved deep into the mountains. Explore a selection of these tombs and admire the vibrant wall paintings that have survived for thousands of years.
Continue to the magnificent Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir El Bahari, an architectural masterpiece built into the cliffs by Egypt’s pioneering female pharaoh. Its terraces, colonnades, and dramatic setting make it one of the most impressive temples in the country. Conclude your tour with a stop at the Colossi of Memnon, two towering statues of King Amenhotep III that have stood as silent guardians of the West Bank for over 3,000 years. These iconic monuments offer a perfect photo opportunity before returning to your hotel or cruise.
