2. During your stay in Luxor, you will have the chance to explore the awe-inspiring Valley of the Kings, which served as the original burial site of the young Pharaoh Tutankhamun. The tombs, intricately carved into the rocky desert terrain, are lavishly adorned with treasures intended for the afterlife of the Pharaohs. You will have the opportunity to visit three tombs, although the specific tombs are determined by the Egyptian government in order to preserve them from the large influx of visitors. The tombs are rotated throughout the year, so it is not possible to confirm which ones will be visited prior to your arrival. It is worth noting that King Tut's tomb requires an additional admission fee. Later, you will enjoy a lunch consisting of a falafel sandwich, one bottle of water, and a soft drink.

About Caïro

Caïro is de uitgestrekte hoofdstad van Egypte aan de Nijl, waar de piramiden van Gizeh samenkomen met moskeeën, bazaars en farao-schatten.

Aan de westrand van de stad rijzen de piramiden van Gizeh en de Grote Sfinx op uit het woestijnplateau, met de trappiramide van Saqqara en de ruïnes van Memphis verder naar het zuiden. De grote musea van Caïro, het Egyptisch Museum aan het Tahrirplein en het enorme Grand Egyptian Museum naast het plateau, bewaren voorwerpen uit duizenden jaren.
