We start before sunrise and cross the Nile from the East Bank to the West Bank.
Travelling by donkey through the green fields of the countryside, we begin to climb the Necropolis mountainside. At the top you will watch the spectacular sunrise over the Nile Valley.
We then visit the Tombs of the Nobles, Deir El Medina temple, and the Ramesseum (Ramses II temple). Next we head to an Egyptian village to see traditional farming and have an Egyptian meal.
We end the day with an opportunity to visit a bedouin handcraft market and an alabaster workshop.
Travel by the new bridge to the West Bank. Visit the Valley of the Kings, Valley of the Queens, Queen of Hatshepsut Temple, Colossi of Memnon.
Includes interpretation by an Egyptologist in the tombs and temples. Return by motor boat across the Nile.
Karnak and Luxor Temples
Visits to Karnak and Luxor Temple including interpretation by an Egyptologist and transportation with caleche (carriage horse) or van.
We return to visit the souk and perhaps sit in one of the souk’s coffeeshops.
Karnak Temple
In the evening at Karnak Temple you are treated both to a history of the place and an opportunity to see the dramatic temple complex lit up in a multicolored lightshow. Also Included is transportation to the temple.
We cross the Nile River to the West Bank by our felucca, then ride camels to Medinet Habu, at the beginning of the desert.
After visiting the temple, one of the most interesting on the West Bank, we continue through the desert to the monastery of Saint Pula. There you can cast a wish into the wishing well, where Egyptians have come for centuries to ask for good luck or maybe a happy pregnancy. We finish the day with a desert sunset.
We start just after mid-day and travel out to the Western desert.
We see the sand dunes and visit the Valley of the Monkey, where water trickles down from the surrounding mountains. We watch the sunset over the mountains and then have a Bedouin dinner in a tent.
We cross the Nile to the West Bank before sunrise and lift off from in front of Hatshepsut temple.
From there we rise up over the pink mountains of the Necropolis to appreciate the spectacular view over the many tombs and temples.
Crossing over the fields and villages we pass once again over the Nile, touching down on the East Bank.
Horse riding is available by the hour on the West Bank. Trips are generally along the Nile. Try a sunset ride.
