Afterward, we'll continue on Luxor's west bank to get a totally different perspective on ancient Egyptian life, at the ancient workers' settlement of Deir el-Medinah. While most of the imposing stone monuments and sites of Egypt honor the lives and after-lives of royalty, Deir el-Medinah gives us unique and surprising insights into the ordinary citizens who constructed and decorated the tombs.

Here we'll see the excavated homes shared by laborers with their domestic animals. These quarters were surprisingly large, with three good-sized rooms, courtyard, kitchen, and even storage cellars. While ancient Egypt might not have been a workers' paradise, we'll see that artisans and builders were highly regarded in their community. We are proud to be the only operator to offer regular visits to this singular ancient settlement in its tour and cruise programs.

Trip Review : What Other Guests Say Bout Our Service

Dear Omar,

We got home last night after a WONDERFUL time in Egypt!

Thank you so much for all your help in setting up this trip. The people were great and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip. Great weather, except for a little rain in Cairo, but not enough to be a problem. Cruising the Nile is unforgettable--I think I spent more time on the top deck than anyone else on the Monaco Nile Cruise , not missing a minute of watching the scenery and enjoying the warm air and sunshine. My dream now is to cruise from Aswan to Abu Simbe ! Tom will of course be in touch with more details, but I wanted to send my personal thanks now.Thank you also for the lovely cartouches. They are wonderful souvenirs for all of us.
Today is is cold, wet, and windy, and I long to be back in Egypt and for
the sunny days we had
.

Shokran !

Jane
