Cairo Luxor East and West Banks Guided Tour Overnight Sitting Train Round Trip

Overview

You will travel overnight on the first class seated train from Cairo to Luxor, then spend a full day exploring the ancient wonders of the Nile River Valley on a guided tour. As you move through Luxor, a qualified Egyptologist will explain the history and significance of the sites you visit in your chosen language, giving context to the monuments and the stories behind them. On the East Bank you will visit the city's great temples, where stone pylons, colonnades and reliefs reveal the religious life of ancient Egypt. Across the Nile on the West Bank you will explore the necropolis, including the Valley of the Kings, where royal tombs and burial chambers reflect funerary practices and beliefs. Along the way you will hear expert commentary that connects the sites to the wider Nile River Valley civilisation and helps you understand their place in ancient history.
