Luxor holds more of ancient Egypt than anywhere else on earth, and it deserves more than a rushed day between cruises. Over four days you cross from the living East Bank to the necropolis of the West, always privately and always with an Egyptologist who has time for your questions. Watch Karnak empty in the late afternoon light, descend into painted royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings, and drift over the temples at dawn in a hot-air balloon. A short journey, but a deep one.
Highlights

- The Valley of the Kings and the terraced temple of Hatshepsut on the West Bank
