Open itinerary
▼Start your 5-day Nile cruise from Marsa Alam with a transfer from your hotel to Luxor. Upon arrival in Luxor, you will start your Luxor attractions on the east side of the Nile. The biggest Pharaonic temple in Egypt on Luxor East Bank and a great source for ancient Egyptian history during the New Kingdom.
Another Luxor attraction and one of the best temples in Luxor together with Karnak Temple. Luxor temple was built by Amenhotep III of the 18th Dynasty and Ramesses the Great, Tutankhamun, and Alexander the Great added parts to the temple.
At the end of your tour, you will be taken to have a smooth check-in at your Nile cruise, then lunch on board and free time at your own leisure till next day.
(Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner are included)
Breakfast is liked to be served on board the Nile cruise before you start your day. Take a guided tour of the remarkable West Bank of Luxor accompanied by an Egyptological guide.
The first place that you will be visiting is the Valley of the Kings, an incredible necropolis for Egypt’s monarchs. Exploring here, you realize that there is something otherworldly about it: gods, Pharaohs, and the mythology of the eternal journey.
After that, pay a visit to the Temple of Hatshepsut, representing the only female king who ruled Egypt with great power and ideas for 23 years. This mortuary temple, its architecture, and the scriptural carvings comprise her birth, journey to Punt, and her worship of Goddess Hathor and God Anubis.
End your West Bank tour with the Colossi of Memnon; two giant statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III sit at the entrance of a temple that no longer exists.
Again, you can disembark and spend time visiting such marvelous items before going back to the cruise for lunch that is served as you are taking a leisurely cruise towards Edfu with picturesque Nile views as the afternoon sunsets.
(Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner are included)
You will have your breakfast in the morning by taking refreshing coffee along the deck before jumping into a horse-drawn carriage ride to Edfu Temple, which is one of the most preserved temples from the Ptolemaic phase of time.
It is concerned with Horus, the falcon-headed god whose temples unlock that dramatic tale of the battle between Horus and Seth by all arms, rescinding it from life after death.
Sail after that to Kom Ombo Temple, which is unique in being dedicated to the two gods, Sobek, the crocodile god, and Horus the Elder. Remarkably, the temple, although standing only partially in ruins, strikes everybody with its fascinating carvings, among which are the ancient surgical tools, the calendar counted meticulously, and the duality in divine justice as supported by Maat.
Come from the visits and go back to your Nile cruise for a fantastic dinner as the boat glides towards the magical city of Aswan, where one will rest at its magical under-the-stars night.
(Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner are included)
Early morning departure to Abu Simbel Temple in Nubia by Nasser Lake with breakfast boxes. Upon arrival, you will visit the two cut-rock temples of Abu Simbel. Back to the Nile cruise in Aswan for lunch, then start your Aswan attractions.
Aswan High Dam is one of the world's largest embankment dams. It started in 1960 and ended in 1970. It is one of Aswan's attractions and it protects Egypt from drought and enables the production of electricity.
Philae Temple, on Agilkia Island, was very famous as a healing center in the past and a place of pilgrimage for Egyptians and Nubians, etc.
