DAY 6 - LUXOR- Thursday (BLD)
We tour today as well the magnificent tombs in the Valley of the Kings , including Tutankaomn's tomb, and the great temple of Queen Hatshepsut, we stop at the Colossi of Memnon on the way back to our cruise.

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. Evening Sound and Light show at Karnak, please bring a jacket and a flash light .

Travel In Style put together a fantastic honeymoon package to Egypt for us. Omar listened to what we wanted to see, work around our dates, and put together a customized itinerary with private tours that exceeded our expectations. From the moment we were met at the airport in Cairo we were treated like VIPs. At each point in our vacation we had excellent English speaking guides, safe drivers, and travel representatives that handled our hotel, cruise, and airline check-ins. We were able to relax and focus on ourselves and truly make the most of our time in Egypt. It was a vacation we will never forget!
