Kings, including Tut-Ankh-Amon's tomb, and the great temple of Queen
Hatshepsut, we stop at the Colossi of Memnon on the way back
to our cruise.
Then it's on to Queen Hatshepsut's Temple and the Colossi of Memnon.
Afterward,
we'll continue on Luxor's west bank to get a totally different
perspective on ancient Egyptian life, at the ancient workers' settlement
of Deir el-Medinah. While most of the imposing stone monuments and sites
of Egypt honor the lives and after-lives of royalty, Deir el-Medinah
gives us unique and surprising insights into the ordinary citizens who
constructed and decorated the tombs. Here we'll see the excavated homes
shared by laborers with their domestic animals. These quarters were
surprisingly large, with three good-sized rooms, courtyard, kitchen,
and even storage cellars. While ancient Egypt might not have been a
workers' paradise, we'll see that artisans and builders were highly
regarded in their community. We are proud to be the only operator to
offer regular visits to this singular ancient settlement in its tour
and cruise programs.

ISIS :
Two
millennia ago the Mediterranean world was enthralled by the mystery
of Isis:
"I,
Isis, am all that has been, that is or shall be; no mortal man hath
ever seen me unveiled."
Called
Aset by the ancient Egyptians, the goddess was a Madonna in the Mediterranean
tradition that stretches far, far back to the primitive Mother Goddess
from Anatolia, home to some of the oldest human communities on earth.
Isis
is portrayed regally, as a queen seated on a throne (which may be the
meaning of her name), often holding her son Horus as a baby. Other images
show her with broad, magnificent gilded wings able to protect the world.
Isis, the great Mother Goddess. Come explore her mystery in timeless
Egypt when you Travel in Style!
Be
our guest if you wish on a complimentary short camel caravan to a near
