Arrival in Aswan & Aswan Sightseeing

Aswan High Dam - Begin your journey with an early morning pick-up from Aswan Airport or your hotel.

Your expert guide will take you to the High Dam, a remarkable example of modern engineering, recognized as the world’s largest embankment dam, majestically spanning the Nile. This monumental structure not only regulates the powerful river’s flow but also supplies crucial hydroelectric power to Egypt.

Unfinished Obelisk - Next, visit the Unfinished Obelisk, located in the ancient stone quarries of Aswan. This enormous, partially carved obelisk provides a fascinating insight into the ingenious techniques of ancient Egyptian stonemasons and the vast scale of their ambitions.

Philae Temple - Continue your journey with a delightful motorboat ride to the captivating Philae Temple. Constructed during Egypt’s Greco-Roman Period under Ptolemy II, this beautiful temple complex dedicated to the goddess Isis was meticulously relocated to Agilkia Island to protect it from the rising waters of the High Dam. Its intricate carvings and tranquil setting create a truly enchanting experience.

As the afternoon sun sets, you’ll be transferred to your Nile cruise ship, your accommodation for the next three nights.

Abu Simbel & Kom Ombo Temples

Your knowledgeable guide will lead you through the site, revealing the captivating history and intricate details of these magnificent structures, including the renowned Great Temple of Ramses II and the smaller temple dedicated to Queen Nefertari.

Temple of Kom Ombo - After an awe-inspiring visit to Abu Simbel, return to the ship for a leisurely lunch as your cruise begins its peaceful journey northward along the Nile. The afternoon brings you to Kom Ombo, a unique temple complex dedicated to two deities: Sobek, the crocodile god, and Horus, the falcon-headed god. Your guided tour will unveil the symmetrical design of this “double temple,” with twin sanctuaries, halls, and courts. As the day concludes, return to the ship for a delicious dinner, perhaps enjoying the serene night views of the Nile.

Edfu Temple by Horse Carriage

Temple of Horus - Savor the tranquility of a Nile morning with a hearty breakfast onboard. Today’s exploration takes you to the well-preserved Edfu Temple, reached by a traditional and charming horse carriage ride. Located on the west bank of the Nile, this Ptolemaic temple is dedicated to the falcon god Horus and is considered one of the most complete and best-preserved ancient temples in Egypt. Its impressive pylon, grand courtyards, and detailed hieroglyphs offer unparalleled insight into ancient Egyptian religious practices and mythological narratives.

After visiting Edfu Temple, return to the ship for dinner, enjoying your final night onboard as you cruise towards Luxor, the grand finale of your Nile adventure. Spend the evening relaxing on deck, reflecting on the incredible history you’ve encountered.
