you will have already visited on your Nile Cruise. However,
there is so much more to see and do. On the West Bank there is the Tombs of the Nobles, Queen Hatshepsut’s Mortuary Temple, the Mortuary Temple of Ramses lll at Medinet Habu and Deir el Medina, the village of the craftsmen who worked in the Valley of the Kings. Or relax as you sail on the Nile to Dendera and visit the Temple which was dedicated to Hathor, the cow-headed goddess of love. A visit to the Luxor Museum is a must and the Mummification Museum is also worth a visit. Perhaps take a camel safari and step back in time as you witness the daily life of the people on the West Bank or experience an amazing sunset on the Nile whilst sailing on a felucca. Also, don’t forget to see the Sound and Light show at the Karnak Temple. You can explore the town by taxi, take a leisurely ride in a calèche (horse-drawn carriage), or just simply wander around the town and enjoy bartering in the shops for those holiday souvenirs.
