We collect you from your Nile cruise boat before dawn and cross to the West Bank, where the balloons take off as the sun comes up over the Valley of the Kings, the temples and the green strip along the river. After landing, you visit an alabaster workshop to watch the stone being cut and polished by hand. A felucca brings you back across the Nile to your boat before 8 am.

Two of the finest temples in Upper Egypt, both north of Luxor. At Dendera, the Temple of Hathor has painted ceilings, rooftop chapels and a cast of the famous zodiac. At Abydos, the Temple of Seti I holds some of the best relief carving in Egypt and the Abydos King List, a roll call of the pharaohs who came before him. Pickup is from anywhere in Luxor.

This half day covers the side of Luxor's West Bank that most tours skip. The Tombs of the Nobles were made for officials and scribes, and their paintings show farming, banquets and hunting rather than gods and kings. Deir el-Medina is the village of the craftsmen who cut and painted the royal tombs. Where work is underway, you can also watch archaeologists at an active excavation.
