Visitors can enjoy sweeping views over Lake Nasser while learning about its national significance.

Temple of Philae - Following this, a brief boat ride will take visitors to Philae Temple, elegantly situated on an island in the Nile.

Guests can explore its courtyards, columns, and mythical carvings.

After visiting the temple, there is an option to visit a Nubian Village, where guests can meet local families, appreciate vibrant architecture, and discover the unique Nubian culture. (This experience is optional and can be arranged with the guide.)

Traveling by private air-conditioned vehicle through the desert, guests will reach the magnificent rock-cut temples of Ramses II and Queen Nefertari, carved into the mountainside over 3,000 years ago. They can admire the colossal seated statues and the intricate interior reliefs while the guide shares the incredible story of their relocation by UNESCO to protect them from flooding.

Returning to the cruise in Aswan, guests can enjoy a late breakfast on board as the ship sails north toward Kom Ombo.

Temple of Kom Ombo - In the afternoon, guests will disembark to explore the Temple of Kom Ombo, a unique double temple dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek and the falcon-headed Horus the Elder.

Edfu Temple by Horse Carriage – Sail to Luxor

Temple of Horus - In the early morning, guests will disembark in Edfu and take a traditional horse-drawn carriage (hantour) through the town to reach the impressive Temple of Horus. This is one of the best-preserved temples in all of Egypt, with massive pylons, detailed reliefs, and towering columns. The guide will explain the symbolic battle scenes between Horus and Seth depicted on the walls.

Guests will return to the cruise and enjoy breakfast on board as they sail toward Luxor, passing scenic views of the Nile and its lush green banks.

Luxor Temple - Upon arrival in Luxor, guests will visit the majestic Luxor Temple, beautifully illuminated in the evening atmosphere.
