Itinerary
Day 1
On arrival, you will be picked up from ( Aswan Airport, Railway station or Hotel ) then visit the high dam which was built in the 1960s to manage flooding, increase hydroelectric power and provide a reliable source of water for agriculture.
then take a motor boat to visit the Philae temple complex. In the 1970s, it was relocated by UNESCO to Aglika Island after it became evident the original Philae site would submerge on completion of the Aswan High Dam. It represents a magnificent and enduring testament to both ancient and modern engineering. The standout structure here is the Temple of Isis, an impressive classical monument built around 690 BCE for the ancient goddess.
by the end of the excursion we head the cruise boat in time for lunch on board before free time in the afternoon to relax or explore Aswan..
Note: If your arrival to Aswan is late(after 12:00 PM) , then we will go first to check in the cruise ship to catch up the lunch on board then start the tour after lunch.
Overnight aboard your Nile cruise in Aswan city.
Meals included: lunch and dinner.
Accommodation: Overnight on the cruiseship.
visits: high dam and philae temple.
Day 2
After lunch, we sail to the temple of Kom Ombo, which is dedicated to the gods Sobek and Horus and sits on scenic spot by the Nile, before continuing to Edfu, where we spend the night.
NOTE; Today there’s the option of visiting the magnificent temples of Abu Simbel (by flight or by land,and you need to book that with us in advance), 186mi (300km) to the south through the Nubian Desert. Built by Ramses II, the two temples are certainly some of the most spectacular in Egypt. Originally on the banks of the Nile, the temples were raised to a new site above the lake in the late 1960s, as the waters from the new Lake Nasser rose behind the Aswan High Dam. The four great seated statues of Ramses II stare east towards the rising sun. We arrive back in Aswan around 1.30pm, before lunch.
Overnight aboard your Nile cruise in Edfu city.
Meals included: breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Accommodation: On the cruiseship.
visits: Kom Ombo Temple.
Day 3
Rising early, we start our day exploring Edfu, home to the remarkably well-preserved Temple of Horus, a grand structure that served as the centre of the cult. We then sail north along the Nile to Luxor, crossing the Esna lock, where we have dinner and hopefully witness a stunning sunset over the river.
upon arrival to luxor city we will go to visit the east bank of the city (Karnak and Luxor Temples) then get back to the cruise ship.
Overnight aboard your Nile cruise in Luxor.
Meals included: breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Accommodation: On the cruiseship.
visits: EDFU-KARNAK-LUXOR Temples
Day 4
Disembark after breakfast and explore the Valley of the Kings on the west bank of the Nile. The valley contains the once-hidden tombs of more than 62 pharaohs, including Tutankhamun, Seti I, Ramses III and IV. A discreet entrance in the hillside takes visitors underground; a series of corridors and antechambers leads us down to the burial chamber and sarcophagus. The walls are covered in brightly painted images and hieroglyphs – a map of the afterlife to ensure the king’s safe passage. One ticket allows us to see three tombs. The ticket usually allows entry into what are regarded as the most impressive tombs, but a visit to the tombs of Ramses VI and Tutankhamun (both extra tickets, payable locally) are recommended. Visits to tombs are now strictly controlled to halt further deterioration of wall paintings – each tomb is periodically closed for several weeks.
After, we visit the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, a magnificent monument to the ancient pharaoh under a limestone cliff.
Then, we visit the massive stone statues of the Colossi of Memnon before transferring to LUXOR airport.
Meals: Breakfast.
Visits: Valley of the Kings, Temple of Queen Hatshepsut Colossi of Memnon.
