A long drive in a comfortable van, made longer by numerous security checks and escorts, but well worth the trip (there was no boat involved). Lots of steps up to the tombs. A highlight for us was seeing excavated mud-brick temples, palaces, and homes., as well as some beautiful countryside. There were no other tourists and no vendors. Excellent guide and driver. Sprayed us with hand sanitizer after each stop.
