Visiting this amazing monument whose bas-reliefs still have vivid colors, however, is complex and this guide aims to reveal and illustrate its secrets.

In the second half of the 19th century, Egypt
became the main destination for European
tourists in search of adventure, exoticism and the
mystery of its origins, following in the footsteps
of great writers such as Flaubert, Gérard de
Nerval, Pierre Loti and Agatha Christie. The
first cruises on the Nile were organized using
large sailing boats called dahabeya. A famous
French writer said, “Going up the Nile! These
two words meant the most ideal journey a man
can undertake.” It was the English entrepreneur
Thomas Cook who, around 1880, introduced
the use of the first steamboats to go up the Nile
and be able to visit the monuments of Pharaonic
Egypt more quickly. Even today, sailing on
the great river that crosses the country like a
major road remains the best way to visit the
extraordinary archaeological sites of Egypt.
