Itinerary
Embark on a captivating journey with a NASCO Tours representative to discover the Valley of the Kings
Visit the Valley of the Kings, also known as the Valley of the Gates of the Kings. This iconic site served as the royal burial ground for nearly 500 years during the New Kingdom period, from the Eighteenth to the Twentieth Dynasties. Carved into the cliffs of a desert wadi on the west bank of the Nile—directly across from ancient Thebes (modern-day Luxor)—this sacred valley is the final resting place of pharaohs and powerful nobles. Nestled within the Theban Necropolis, the Valley is home to some of the most beautifully decorated tombs in Egypt, showcasing intricate wall paintings and hieroglyphs that have survived thousands of years.
Depart from Valley of the Kings to Hatshepsut Temple
Visit the iconic Hatshepsut Temple, a stunning tribute to the sole female ruler of Ancient Egypt, where you can admire its impressive colonnades and architectural brilliance.
Pause for a photo stop at the towering Colossi of Memnon, the last remnants of the once-magnificent Temple of Amenhotep III
Your adventure concludes with a return to your ship leaving you with memories of Egypt's wonders.

About Safaga
Safaga is a Red Sea port town in Egypt, south of Hurghada, known for its reefs, windy lagoons and as a starting point for Luxor and the Eastern Desert.
Safaga lies on the Red Sea coast of Egypt about sixty kilometres south of Hurghada, between the sea and the bare mountains of the Eastern Desert. It began as a phosphate port and still has a working harbour, and a string of resorts has grown up along the sandy bay. The water is clear, the reefs start close to shore, and steady winds make the area popular for windsurfing and kitesurfing.
