It is a well-known fact that the
Nile River has been the Egypt life’s center for centuries. On
the Nile Eastern Bank important temples were built and many
royalty faces chose to be buried here. You can choose to have a
wonderful cruise with a morning arriving in Luxor and a transfer
to the ship. The unforgettable cruise will take you on the
smooth waters of the old Nile. You can spend your free time on
beach at the ship’s footbridge admiring the charming landscapes
that are succeeding along the shores: the villages of fishermen,
old of hundreds of years, cultures of palms, antique temples
full of legends and myths, the fascinating sunsets. You will
visit the Nile Eastern Bank (the bank of the sun and of the
life), where you will be initiated in the mysteries of the Luxor
and Karnak Temples. With little willingness you can also
decipher the Egyptian hieroglyphs that give impressive scenes
from the mythology of this country. In the evening you can enjoy
a superb sound and light show from the Karnak Temple. Built on
the Nile Eastern Bank, the Karnak Temple was known in antiquity
as ‘The most chosen from the places’. For the most of the
antique Egyptian people, without education, this temple
represented only a place where they can address to the gods. It
is the ‘parent’ of all the religious buildings, temples and also
a pilgrimage place that dates from 4000 years. Today, the most
of the pilgrimages are the tourists. The temple covers almost
200 acres; the area of the sacred fencings dedicated to Amun is
enough to place on them 10 European cathedrals. The temple of
Karnak is so big that the Saint Paul Cathedral and the Notre
Dame would be lost between its walls. |
