The Pharaohs of the time of the new kingdom buried their treasures and mummies in the mountains here, and your guide will explain everything from the outside. From the open grave, you'll explore three graves before taking a trip to the most famous mausoleums: King Tutmos I, King Tutmos III, and King Tut Ankh-Ammon.
After exploring the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut at El Dir El Bahari, a beautiful structure built by Queen Hatshepsut, the only female pharaoh of ancient Egypt, I was struck by the magnificence of her reign.
We'll visit the Colossi of Memnon first thing this morning, and then transfer you to have lunch in a local restaurant. We'll then return you to your Luxor hotel.
At night, you'll be transported back to your cruise ship.
