Embark on a captivating journey with a NASCO Tours representative from Hurghada to Luxor in a scenic 4-hrs private transfer. As you traverse the landscape, your guide will unravel the history of Upper Egypt, showcasing the ever-changing vistas of barren mountains, vast deserts, and fertile lands. Upon arrival at Luxor's West Bank, explore the remarkable Valley of the Kings, also known as the Valley of the Gates of the Kings. This iconic site served as the royal burial ground for nearly 500 years during the New Kingdom period, from the Eighteenth to the Twentieth Dynasties. Carved into the cliffs of a desert wadi on the west bank of the Nile, directly across from ancient Thebes (modern-day Luxor), this sacred valley is the final resting
place of pharaohs and powerful nobles. Nestled within the Theban Necropolis, the Valley is home to some of the most beautifully decorated tombs in Egypt, showcasing intricate wall paintings and hieroglyphs that have survived thousands of years. Before crossing to the East Bank, pause to capture the colossal Colossi of Memnon, guardians of Amenhotep's temple for over 3,400 years. Indulge in a delectable lunch at Steigenberger Nile Palace, offering Nile and Luxor boulevard views. Then, journey to the east bank temples, starting with the awe-inspiring Temple of Karnak, known for its unique Hypostyle Hall, Sacred Lake, and Avenue of the Sphinxes. Conclude your expedition at Luxor Temple, which is intricately connected to Karnak. Your adventure concludes with a return to your ship, leaving you with memories of Egypt's wonders.
