The Nile Valley and Luxor Feature

The Valley of the Kings. Follow the storyline of the pharaoh's journey into the afterlife in the images from the Book of the Dead on the walls of a royal tomb.

The Temple of Karnak. Stroll among the columns in the "petrified forest" of the hypostyle hall, which was built as a garden for the gods.

Deir el-Bahri. Step back and absorb the panorama of the multitiered facade at the mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut.

A Trip on the Nile. Make the Nile your home for a few days, either on the deck of a traditional wind-powered felucca or in the more comfortable cabin of a luxury river cruiser.

The Temple of Edfu. Admire the architectural perfection of the temple dedicated to Horus; it's the finest surviving Ptolemaic-era building in Egypt.
