After a private flight to Luxor, you will visit the UNESCO-listed necropolis at Thebes and have private access to the tomb of Queen Nefertari in the Valley of the Queens. Then embark on a four-night Nile River voyage aboard the deluxe riverboat Sanctuary Nile Adventurer, stopping to explore tombs and temples in Luxor, Edfu, Kom Ombo, and Aswan. After a private flight to Abu Simbel, stand in awe before the massive rock temples of Ramesses II and Nefertari and conclude with a return to Cairo.
