Day 7

Wednesday - May 26, 2004

Wake-up call at 5:00 a.m.

Temperature around 51 degrees (!!!) in the shade.

We spent the morning in Thebes West, where our fist stop was the Valley of the Queens. After visiting one tomb, we drove on to the world-famous Valley of the Kings, where we visited the tombs of Ramses I, III and VI. In order to gain some strength in between the sightseeing, we visited an Alabaster factory. After that we drove on to Hatshepsut Temple, which is located in the majestic, natural circus of Deir El-Bahari. We completed our morning trip at the Memnon Colossi.

Back on the ship, we enjoyed the lunch a lot - after such an exhausting (mainly because of the heat) tour.

We spent the afternoon on the ship relaxing, playing games and sleeping - and we really deserved this relaxation!

In the evening another attraction was organized to entertain the guests - a Belly Dancer and a Dervish presented their skills.

We spent our last night in Luxor.
