Balloon Ride: Take a balloon ride and witness sunrise over the River Nile while you fly over ancient temples, a truly breathtaking experience.
Cross to the West Bank to visit the Valley of the Kings - burial chambers for the pharaohs, their queens and people of noble birth were cut from the soft limestone hills to protect them from looters. Nearby is the magnificent temple of Queen Hatshepsut, who was the only woman pharaoh to reign over ancient Egypt. On the East Bank take a horse-drawn calesh for your visit to the breathtaking Karnak Temple, originally constructed in honour of Amun-Ra.
