If you asked your private tour guide to make arrangements for you, a morning hot air balloon ride over Luxor would be an optional activity.
After eating your daily breakfast on board your Egypt Nile River Cruise, begin your Luxor day tours by visiting the highlights of Luxor West Bank Tours, like the Valley of the Kings, where most of the New Kingdom pharaohs rest in peace. You'll be impressed by the preservation of colors in the wall paintings, especially the judgment scene where you'll see numerous deities like God Osiris of the afterlife, Goddess Maat, who was the Goddess of Justice, and others.
At the end of your Luxor excursions, you will tour the Colossi of Memnon, two enormous seated stone statues that represent the pharaoh Amenhotep III and are not in the best of condition. Hatshepsut was the fifth Pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty and the second female Pharaoh to rule Egypt. As you cruise to Edfu, savor your delicious open-buffet lunch and dinner.
