Take a break from exploring to recharge with a delicious, authentic Egyptian lunch served at a local restaurant. Enjoy fresh regional dishes before crossing over to the historic West Bank.
Cross the Nile to the world-famous Valley of the Kings. Enter three remarkably preserved royal tombs of ancient Egypt's pharaohs to marvel at the brilliant colors and intricate carvings decorating the walls.
Visit the stunning Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, a masterpiece of ancient architecture. This unique, multi-terraced monument is carved seamlessly directly into the towering limestone cliffs that frame the desert.
