Itinerary :
Day 1: Luxor :
Luxor should be on your bucket list if you are planning to visit Egypt. Luxor, situated in Upper Egypt's Nile Valley, is an integral part of any Egyptian excursion. The Nile separates Luxor into the East and the West Bank. Both of them, for the ancient Egyptian citizens, have rich
significance. The Karnak temple is a celebrated ancient temple in the country, with its majestic artworks and massive statues, it is a must-visit place in Luxor. It is linked by a sphinx-guarded route to the other temple; it took around 500 years to construct. Do lookout for the light and sound show in the temple later.
Upon arrival at Luxor Airport, our tour representative will be waiting for you to assist you with the airport formalities. Meet your guide and depart to visit the sights of the East Bank of Luxor including the Karnak and Luxor Temples.
After the tour, you will be transferred to your 5 star Nile cruise which will be your home for the next four nights. There, you will have a delicious lunch, dinner and stay overnight onboard under the beautiful night sky.
Day 2: Luxor | Esna :
The Queen Hatshepsut's Temple, one of Egypt's most spectacular monuments. Enjoy the temple's custom engraving for the most powerful queen in Egypt. Among Egyptian temples, the temple of Hatshepsut at El Deir El Bahary is exceptional. It is built in three terraces to mark the
coronation of Hatshepsut. The second terrace depicts Hatshepsut's famous expedition to the land of Punt (Somalia).
The paramount reason to visit Luxor should be this place itself. The Valley of the Kings is the city's most famous attraction, and for the past 100 years, it has been like that. Rolling around the spectacular burial chambers, the era of the place will certainly be forgotten.
