MS Semiramis II Easter Nile River Cruise

Following breakfast aboard an Egyptian Nile cruise, begin your Luxor day tours by exploring the highlights of Luxor's West Bank. You'll visit the Valley of the Kings, where many New Kingdom pharaohs' tombs are located. Marvel at the well-preserved colorful frescoes, particularly the trial scene depicting numerous gods such as Osiris, the god of the afterlife, Maat, the goddess of justice, and Anubis, the god of the necropolis in ancient Egyptian history.

Next, visit Hatshepsut Temple, also known as El Deir El Bahari Temple, built by Queen Hatshepsut, the fifth Pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty and Egypt's second female ruler. This complex of Pharaonic temples and tombs lies on Luxor's West Bank across from the Nile. Originally used for her mortuary rituals, it later served as a Coptic monastery, hence its modern Arab name.

Conclude your Luxor excursions with a visit to the Colossi of Memnon, two colossal seated stone statues representing Pharaoh Amenhotep III.

Enjoy a delicious open-buffet lunch and dinner aboard your Nile cruise boat as you sail towards Edfu. Spend the night aboard your Nile cruise.

If you wish to experience a morning hot air balloon ride in Luxor, your personal tour guide can arrange this optional activity for you.
