We leave from Madrid on a special flight to Luxor. Upon arrival we will be transferred directly to the ship and enjoy a picnic dinner in the cabin. Spend overnight on board the cruise.
Day 2
Luxor - Esna - Edfu - Nile Cruise - Full Board
After breakfast, our first stop will take us to the tomb of the famous Valley of the Kings and the Necropolis of Thebes, where the famous tomb of Tutankhamun is located. Later, we will visit the temple of Queen Hatshepsut, dedicated to the only woman who reigned in Egypt and out a curiosity grew a beard to look like a pharaoh. Next, we will see the Deir El Bahari temple and the impressive colossi of Memnon. We continue with the tour and arrive at the second most visited place by tourists in Egypt, the religious complex of Karnak and its temples, which is one of the places of greatest historical value in Egypt. This is due to the way in which they were built, starting with the central sanctuary and then the outer areas. Because the temple of Luxor is dedicated to the God Amun-Ra, god of creation and the sun, many pharaohs expanded the temple with new monuments to honor the main god of the Egyptian pantheon. Finally, we will return to the ship to head to Esna. Lunch and dinner on board the cruise.
