8 Days Dahabiya from Luxor to Luxor and Witness the Solar Eclipse 2027

After a delightful breakfast, step ashore for a fascinating journey through Luxor’s West Bank — the eternal resting place of Egypt’s pharaohs. Begin at the Valley of the Kings, where the tombs of Egypt’s great rulers are hidden within the desert cliffs.

Enter the world-famous tomb of Tutankhamun, adorned with ancient art and vivid hieroglyphics that whisper stories of the afterlife.

Continue to the magnificent Temple of Hatshepsut, the mortuary temple of Egypt’s only female pharaoh, a striking example of ancient architecture rising dramatically from the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari. Before returning, pause at the Colossi of Memnon, two towering statues that once guarded a lost temple.

Savor lunch back on board and spend a relaxing afternoon gliding along the Nile’s peaceful waters.
