Morning (7:30 AM): Visit Karnak Temple, built and expanded over more than a thousand years by generations of Pharaohs. Everything here is on a gigantic scale, particularly the awe-inspiring Great Hypostyle Hall, an incredible forest of giant pillars covering an area larger than the entirety of Notre Dame Cathedral. Karnak is more than a temple; it's a spectacular complex dedicated to the Theban gods and the glory of the Pharaohs. Late Morning: Transfer to the West Bank to explore the Valley of the Kings, once known as the "Great Place of Truth." This sun-scorched canyon is the majestic domain where Pharaohs lay in great sarcophagi, awaiting immortality. Afternoon: Transfer to Esna for embarkation onto the Lazuli Dahabiya.

Morning: Breakfast on board while sailing to Bassaw, an old fishing village.
