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.
