After your first breakfast on board, it is time to visit the West Bank of Luxor:

• The tombs of the New Kingdom Pharaohs are in the Valley of the Kings, which is an astounding location where 62 Pharaohs are buried. This was a secret place, where sentries guarded the entrance, as well as the tops of the hills to discourage tomb robbers.
• The tombs of princes in the Valley of the Queens, which is - similar to the Valley of the Kings - a burial site in Egypt where over 90 tombs were found in excavations that continues to this day.
• The magnificent Temple of Queen Hatshepsut at Deir El-Bahri, which is one of the most distinctive temples in all of Egypt. It was built of limestone, not sandstone like most of the other funerary temples of the New Kingdom period.
• The Colossi of Memnon, two gigantic statues figures of Amenhotep III were originally situated in front of his Mortuary temple, which seems to have been destroyed for unknown reasons. Each colossus is about 21 meters tall and represents King Amenhotep III seated on his throne.
