Itinerary:

4 Days - Aswan / Luxor Every Friday
Day 1 : Aswan sightseeing

You will be picked up from Aswan Airport, Aswan train station, or any location in Aswan and transferred to your Nile cruise to check in and settle in.

The following morning, your guide will meet you to begin your day tour across Aswan's most remarkable sites. Your first stop is the Temple of Philae, dedicated to one of the most celebrated goddesses in Egyptian history — a temple that was carefully cut and relocated to a new island to protect it from the rising waters of the Nile. From there, you will visit The High Dam of Egypt, the monumental project that regulates the flow of the Nile, protects Egyptian lands, and generates the electricity that powers much of the country's industry. Your tour concludes at the Unfinished Obelisk, carved from Aswan's distinctive red granite, where your guide will unravel the mysterious story behind the obelisks and the significance they held in ancient Egyptian temples.

After a full and rewarding day, you will return to your Nile cruise to rest.

  • Meals included: Lunch and Dinner. 
Day2 : Kom-Ombo and Edfu Tour

On the second day of your Nile cruise tour, you have the exciting opportunity to book an optional excursion to visit the magnificent Abu Simbel Temples.

Following this or as part of your day's journey, you will accompany your professional guide to explore the impressive Kom Ombo Temple. What distinguishes this beautiful sanctuary is that it is uniquely dedicated to two great deities at once: Horus the falcon, symbolizing the sky and justice, and Sobek the crocodile, known as the lord of the Nile and its latent power. This dual sanctification makes the temple's architecture a true masterpiece, featuring a symmetrical double design in every detail.

After experiencing this enchanting temple, return to your ship to enjoy a delicious lunch on board as you sail toward Edfu.

Next, discover the Edfu temple, also known as the enchanting temple of Horus—the winged god, protector of Egypt, and master of the sky. As soon as you step through its towering gateway, you will feel as though you have entered a realm of living legends. Its walls speak through captivating reliefs, narrating the epic battle between light and darkness when Horus triumphed over Set and truth prevailed over chaos.

Finally, return to your Nile cruise to unwind and enjoy a beautiful evening on board.

  • Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner

 

Day3 : Discover the East bank of Luxor

When you enter the temple of Karnak, you will see the beating and breathing stones of the temple narrating and telling the stories of the Egyptian civilization. The temple is famous with the larger number of columns that are colored with unusual colors that remain clear for thousands of years. You will also see the ram statues in a very long passage surrounding the temple

You will see the second connected temple to the Karnak temple of Luxor: The sun rays cover the stones, and the light flows over the beautiful inscriptions on the walls of the temple, while the statue of Ramses II standing at the entrance of the temple, as if time has not passed him by, and his eyes watch the beautiful Nile River banks.

The statues of rams are like a long bridge connecting both temples. As you walk along it, you feel as if you are in a majestic procession.

Finally, head back to your Nile cruise and participate in the different activities on board.

  • Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Day4: West bank of Luxor tour

You will see an incredible scene of the temple coming out from the mountain; the temple will welcome you to see the gorgeous statues of Queen Hatshepsut, who was a strong and powerful Queen of Egypt and did many expansions.

Our second site will be The Valley of the Kings or the Valley of the Secrets. Where great Egyptian pharaohs chose to keep their glamorous tombs, mummies, and valuable treasures. Enjoy seeing the texts written on the tombs' walls, the beautiful, expressive inscriptions, and the unique genius designs.

Our final site will be the Colossi of Memnon: these are the ruins of King Amenhotep III and his funerary temples. Let you guide explain the legendary story behind the names of the statues during the sunrise.
