Guided tour to Valley of the Kings with felucca cruise from Luxor
Your tour begins with a convenient pickup directly from your cruise ship or your hotel in Luxor in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle as you are driven out to the West Bank of Luxor. Your first major destination is the world-renowned Valley of the Kings, where you will explore the final resting places of Egypt's ancient pharaohs and step inside three active royal tombs. Next, you will head to the spectacular Hatshepsut Temple, a dramatic three-tiered architectural masterpiece that has stood for thousands of years rising right above the desert floor. During the West Bank excursion, you will also make a short stop at a traditional Alabaster factory to see local craftsmanship and have a chance to pick up authentic souvenirs. Afterwards, you will head back to the riverbank to step aboard a traditional wooden felucca for a 30-minute cruise along the Nile. As the canvas sail glides you past Luxor city’s modern riverfront, landmarks, and floating hotels, you will enjoy complimentary water and soft drinks on board before being transferred smoothly back to your ship or your hotel in Luxor.
