After breakfast at the hotel, our representative will accompany you to Cairo airport for your... see+ flight to Luxor airport. Our representative will welcome you upon arrival, after which your English-speaking guide will accompany you in an air-conditioned vehicle to visit the east bank of Luxor, home to the fabulous Karnak Temple complex, the largest religious complex ever built, dedicated to the Theban triad headed by the god Amun-Re. Its ancient name "Ipet-isut" means "the most sacred place." Inside the complex, the formidable "hypostyle hall" is a majestic and mysterious forest of 137 giant columns. Then you will visit the necropolis of Thebes on the west bank of the Nile, followed by the Valley of the Kings, where the tombs of many pharaohs of the New Kingdom, as well as their families and favored nobles, are located. The visits continue with the Colossi of Memnon, the last remains of the temple of Amenhotep III, and Deir el Bahari, the funerary temple of Queen Hatshepsut. Carved out of the rock in the mountain of Thebes, this three-tiered temple is both harmonious and modern, and although dedicated to the god Amun, it also contains chapels to Anubis and Hathor, the goddess protector of women: This is not surprising, since Hatshepsut, one of the four female pharaohs to have ruled Egypt, is considered "the first great woman whose name has been preserved in history." After the visits, return to your cruise ship. Your English-speaking guide will accompany you in an air-conditioned vehicle to your Dahabieh cruise ship in Esna, where you will check in at noon. Enjoy lunch on the side of the boat while sailing and take in the magnificent scenery as you continue your cruise to El Hegz Island, where the boat will stop for the night.
