LUXOR'S
TIMELESS CHARMS
Journey to the Nile's west bank to
explore the Valley of the Kings, where
ancient pharaohs were entombed
deep in the hillsides. Today, you can
visit several sites, such as the tomb of
Tutankhamen (discovered in 1922),
Ramses IV and Seti I, among the dozens
found within the royal necropolis. Then,
venture to the Valley of the Queens to
discover the grandeur of the Mortuary
Temple of Hatshepsut, one of the world's
most remarkable architectural feats. After
a day of exploration, return to your ship,
which is docked in the center of town.
ESNA
Explore Esna and its temple, dedicated
to the god Khnum. Admire its intricate
carvings, towering columns, ancient
hieroglyphics and its well-preserved
Hypostyle Hall. Later, take a guided
walking tour through the town. See
its 19th-century houses with elaborate
mashrabiya and stroll the lively covered
market. Rest well tonight, as Aswan awaits.
