Following breakfast, start your day with Valley of the Kings. Temples spread out under you, and the magnitude is astonishing from above, with column after column after column below.
This legendary flight is followed by lunch and a detailed tour of the tombs and temples with an Egyptologist guide. Inscriptions depicting divine sceneries adorn the walls, and musty mummified scents float around, with morsels of riches flashing beneath magnificently beautiful ceilings. Tombs lay underneath tombs, the most renowned being those of King Tutankhamen.
The Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, carved into the rock face, is a tribute to one of Ancient Egypt's most beloved monarchs. The two huge sculptures of Memnon, a ruler seated and gazing over his followers, round up your tour; his eyes are especially compelling.
Meals: Breakfast and Lunch.
