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.

Getting to Your Cruise

For some of our cruises, we set the rates to include the cruise and only the cruise; other services such as flights, train travel or transfers to and from the cruise departure and arrival points are not included.

We do this so that you may easily and accurately compare our rates with those of other tour companies that establish their rates this way. Most travelers who reserve staterooms on our cruise vessels also ask us to make arrangements to get them to and from the cruise departure and arrival points.

We are happy to arrange the necessary flights or train travel for you. When we do, we will automatically include our transfer service at a small additional fee so that you are assured of making your connections.

We've found that this is the best way to avoid the confusion and missed departures which can occur when travelers attempt to negotiate strange new cities with unfamiliar languages on their own. We believe the small transfer fee is a valuable "insurance policy" against the possibility of missed or delayed departures, overbooked flights, and other mishaps.

Of course, you always have the option of making your own arrangements to get to the cruise departure point, if you so prefer.
