The fourth day of your Nile cruise from Cairo to Dahabiya will start with a drive from your accommodation to the airport for your quick flight to Luxor.
Once more, when you land in Luxor, your Egyptologist tour guide and a driver will be waiting to take you to the majestic Karnak Temple complex, the largest temple complex ever constructed.
This temple’s original name, Ipet-it, meaning “The Most Sacred of Places” is thought to have originated in ancient Egypt. Karnak is actually a collection of temples that were built over the course of more than two thousand years. Pharaohs from generation to generation worked on the facility. Take a thorough look around the temple beginning with the Hypostyle Hall, which features a great forest of enormous pillars.
After a leisurely lunch at a neighborhood eatery, continue to the Valley of the Kings. There are many exquisite tombs in the valley that have been deeply carved into the rock and are stocked with valuables and elaborate decorations for the pharaohs to utilize in the afterlife.
The majestic temple at El Deir El Bahary, constructed for Queen Hatshepsut, is a fitting way to end this day of exploration. She was the sole female pharaoh, and her temple rises in terraces from the plain before blending into the surrounding limestone cliffs. Then you will go to Esna, where your Dahabiya riverboat will await you.
