Cruising the Timeless Nile

Luxor/East & West

DAY 5/Sun. 5th September
Temples on the East Bank where the sun rises; and Tombs on the West
where the sun sets; - thus this desert location well reflects the life and
resting place of the Pharaohs of old......

After breakfast, disembark and feel the magnitude of the energies as we
experience:
THE WEST BANK
Colossi of Memnon
Statue remnants of an ancient temple some 60 feet high and named by the
Greeks after the legendary hero killed in the Trojan wars.
Valley of the Kings
The land of Thebes (Egypt’s ancient capital from the 13th to the 30th
Dynasty) with 64 Royal Tombs including the famous Tomb of Tutankhamun.
Valley of the Queens
The Royal Tombs display well-preserved wall paintings of day to day life in
ancient Egypt and includes Queen Hatshepsut’s Tomb.
THE EAST BANK
Temple of Luxor
The ‘city of a hundred gates’ built by two Pharaohs and dedicated to
Amun-Ra. Luxor was the seat of power from 2100 to 750 B.C.
Temple of Karnak

‘Avenue of Rams’. The English word “luxury” is derived from this great city.
