Embark on a captivating journey with a NASCO Tours representative for a private 4-hour journey from Hurghada Port to Luxor, a city rich in history and culture. As you travel, soak in the diverse landscapes, from barren mountains to fertile lands, while your guide provides insights into Upper Egypt's history. On the west bank of the Nile, explore the 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 images of the colossal statues of Amenhotep III, known as the Colossi of Memnon, guardians of his memorial temple for over 3,400 years. Savour lunch at The Steigenberger Nile Palace, offering stunning views of the Nile and Luxor's bustling main boulevard. Your adventure concludes with a return to your ship, leaving you with memories of Egypt's wonders.
