At first glance, the Valley of the Kings, also known as the Valley of the Gates of the Kings, seems like no more than a sun-blasted gorge of generic red rock, but underneath all of its dust lay the tombs of 63 of the most important pharaohs in the history of Ancient Egypt. Used as a burial chamber for nearly 500 years from the 16th to 11th century BC, the Valley of the Kings was used for royal burials for the Kings, their families, and their possessions. In 1979, it became a World Heritage Site, as well as the rest of the Theban Necropolis.
The mortuary temple of Hatshepsut (c.1478/72-1458 B.C.E.) dates from the New Kingdom. It nestles at the foot of the cliffs in a natural “bay” on the West Bank of Luxor. This area had long been sacred to the goddess Hathor and was the site of the earlier mortuary temple and tomb of King Nebhepetre Mentuhotep (c.2008-1957 B.C.E.) of the Middle Kingdom (ramp visible on the far left). After the introduction of Christianity, Hatshepsut’s temple was used as a monastery, hence its modern name, Deir el-Bahri, Arabic for “Northern Monastery.”
One of the biggest tourist attractions in Luxor, the Colossi of Memnon gained its popularity due to its majestic appearance and for the mysterious sounds emitted by the northern colossus statue at every sunrise.
Cruising is a very good idea for those to want quite and sightseeing through Egyptian temples between Aswan and Luxor. The cruise “La terrase” is OK, the room is fine and very clean however it’s a little bit noisy at night due to engineers. The food is OK. The desk is nice with shadow areas and also with deck chairs for sunbathing, however the swimming Pool is small . Our guide, Bee, is a very knowledge guy and very helpful within the communication to Egyptian people. Cruising is very recommendable, the cruise “la Terrace” Can be improved and the guide Bee very recommendable .
The cruise was what we were looking forward to during our trip to Egypt, after hectic Cairo, and it didn’t disappoint. The boat (Marquise du Nil) was clean and comfortable, and its staff was friendly (they even organized a surprise birthday celebration for me after checking my passport, without us asking anything). We also had a great time visiting ancient Egyptian monuments with our guide Mina and a small group of 8 people in total. We learned a lot about the Egyptian mythology and history thanks to Mina’s good and fun storytelling. Mina was also EXTREMELY accommodating as he did his best to arrange Various off program requests. We also appreciated the fact that he shielded us from unsolicited vendors. We added an excursion to Abu Simbel with another group (also with us on the same boat), led by Zakaria who was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. Thanks to him as well for making this trip a good one.
