CAIRO & LUXOR
Day
3-4
Luxor Temple
Visit one of the most breathtaking
temples in Luxor, spiritual capital of
Egypt. Built in approximately 1400 BC by
Amenhotep III and Ramses II, the Temple
of Luxor features a cache of statues
surrounded by massive pylons and
ancient hieroglyphs. INCLUDED
DAY 3 - CAIRO
Today, you travel to the Giza Plateau. Begin with
a visit to the newly opened Grand Egyptian
Museum to admire its impressive collection
of artefacts, including items from the tomb of
King Tutankhamen. Then, witness the grandeur
of the pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure plus
the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the only Wonder
of the Ancient World still standing. Capture
the moment from atop a camel for that
quintessential photo opportunity. As the sun
sets, return to your hotel.
DAY 4 - LUXOR
Take a morning flight to Luxor and embark your
ship. Explore the magnificent Karnak Temple,
one of the world's largest ancient temple
complexes, and marvel at its great Hypostyle
Hall. Later, experience the enchanting glow of
Luxor Temple under the dusk sky. Enter through
the massive pylons and your Egyptologist will
interpret the hieroglyphics. Enjoy a relaxing
evening on board.
