Tour itinerary

  • 1 Arrival to Cairo & flight to Aswan

    The transfer of you and your dear Nile cruise vacation to the dusky city of Aswan will begin early in the morning, as you are taken from the hotel in Cairo to the airport to connect for a domestic flight to Aswan. You will be greeted by our Egyptologist upon arrival, who will lead you through one of the most stunning cities in Egypt, where your Nile River cruise will be centered.

    First up on the day's visiting list is the stunning High Dam, an impressive structure conceived and carried out under President Gamal Abdel Nasser, providing prevention against the wild Nile floods by collecting the river's energies. Take a quick boat ride on the calm Nile to Agilika Island, where the blue-arching Philae Temple sits amid languor and glowing mist. This most sacred site, dedicated to the goddess Isis, displays the best work of the Greco-Roman period.  

    The Unfinished Obelisk is a red granite monument to the all-powerful god Amun Ra that you might also want to see. After checking in at your five-star Nile river cruise from Aswan, enjoying dinner on board, and getting the much-needed overnight stay, you can look forward to another exciting day of history and picturesque charm.  
     

  • 2 Heading to Kom Ombo and Edfu

    Go up into the Nile after a grand breakfast while cruising on the Nile; an escorted tour will be your unique experience of going around the Kom Ombo Temple. The crocodile, Sobek, and eagle are the two witnesses that make up the Nupe, also referred to as a temple. 

    This Egypt Nile River cruise proceeds where lunch will be served from the upper deck, offering breathtaking views of the fascinating Nile. In the afternoon, you will journey to Edfu Temple and the Temple of Horus, one of Egypt's most extensive temples. 

    The magnificent temple, which is dedicated to the sky god Horus, embodies the architectural magnificence that has always been a part of Egypt's history. After you get back, take a Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor to experience leisure, delicious food, and a performance of Egyptian folklore that will introduce you to a different culture.

    After breakfast onboard, the transfer will take you from the Nile River cruise holiday to the famous necropolis of ancient Thebes, the walled city that greeted many generations with its towering glory. The Valley of the Kings is the first stop, a royal burial site for Egypt's pharaohs and rulers, including the legendary King Tutankhamun. You will then visit the imposing temple of Queen Hatshepsut's Deir el-Bahari, a magnificent piece of architecture carved into Luxor's cliffs. 

    The Grandeur Colossi of Memnon, two statues guarding King Amenhotep III on the desert's edge, will continue the magnificence theme. Having lunch aboard the ship, enjoy a comfortable afternoon before a lovely dinner and a peaceful night's sleep aboard the ship in the calm environs of the Nile River.  
     

  • 4 Visit the East Bank of Luxor + Final departure

    After breakfast and checkout, your Egypt holiday package will head to the East Bank of Luxor. You will visit the Karnak Temple, its massive court, and the excellent Hypostyle halls, etc. Then, you will head to the Temple of Luxor, which was partly built during the era of the Twelfth Dynasty and later finished by Ramses II.
