Esna

Explore ancient wonders: Valley of the Kings' tombs, Temple of Hatshepsut, and the Temple of Khnum with its vibrant hieroglyphs and majestic columns.

Today we cross the Nile to the West Bank, which the ancient Egyptians regarded as the Land of the Dead. Here we visit the Valley of the Kings, where the tombs of Ramesses the Great and Tutankhamun were discovered, before continuing to the Temple of Hatshepsut. In the afternoon we sail south to Esna to see the Temple of Khnum with its painted hieroglyphs and columns.
