Part 3/9:
However, my favorite experiences unfolded during the cruise itself. In Luxor, we visited the Valley of the Queens, where I marveled at the exquisiteness of Nefertari’s tomb. The Valley of the Kings offered another treasure, where Tutankhamen's tomb stood amongst others, including Ramses III’s tomb, which extends deep within a hillside. One of my top moments was exploring the multi-level Queen Hatshepsut's temple, perfectly carved into the mountainside.
Our adventures didn’t stop in Luxor. We sailed to various magnificent temples, including the Temple of Horus in Edfu and the unique Temple of Kom Ombo, dedicated to two gods. Reaching Aswan led us to the Philae Temple, which was effectively relocated to save it from rising waters.
