See the dramatic religious carvings on the walls of the burial chambers and the spectacular Book of the Heavens on the ceilings. Then head to the Valley of the Queens to see the remarkable tomb of Queen Nefertari, wife of King Ramesses II.

For an unbeatable view of the city and the Nile, ride in a hot-air balloon, high above the small Egyptian villages and the magnificent Temple of Hatshepsut.

Wander in awe around the Karnak Temple Complex, home to numerous ruins, including the precinct of Sun-god Amun-Re - the second most popular site in Egypt.

Sail in a traditional felucca boat at dawn to see locals come to life, then go bargain hunting at a colourful bazaar, or souk. Search through the colourful ceramic goods, handmade alabaster vases, amazing wooden boxes and other souvenirs.
