We would like to invite you to join our press trip taking place on Monday 10th November to Friday 14th November on our 5* Nile Cruiser, MS Orbital Royal Esadora.
The Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt were responsible for some of the most stunning architectural achievements in human history; they engineered colossal construction projects building many monuments, statutes and temples in their own names and in the names of their gods. A Nile Cruise offers a wonderful opportunity to visit these stunning temples and monuments, as well as rural life in the Nile Valley.
The trip includes 9 guided excursions including the lesser visited Tombs of the Nobles and Valley of the Workers in Luxor as well as King Tuthankhamun's new replica tomb in the Valley of the Kings.
