Embark on a captivating journey with a NASCO Tours representative for a private journey from Abu Tig to Luxor to discover the West Bank. As you travel, soak in the diverse landscapes, from barren mountains to fertile lands, while your guide provides expert insight into Upper Egypt's rich 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. Enjoy 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 Abu Tig leaving you with the memories of Egypt's wonders.
