Tour Itinerary
Day One: Take a flight from Cairo to Aswan and see the city’s attractions
To begin your Luxor & Aswan Nile cruise from Cairo by seeing Aswan tourist sites like these, we will take you in the morning from your Cairo hotel to the Cairo airport where you will board your aircraft to Aswan.
High Dam at Aswan
At Aswan, a bridge across the Nile was constructed. Between 1960 and 1970, the High Dam was built, and its impact on Egypt’s economy and culture has been profound.
The Unfinished Obelisk
The biggest ancient obelisk that is known. The Lateran Obelisk, which was initially at Karnak and was subsequently transported to the Lateran Palace in Rome, was commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut (1508 1458 BC), probably as a compliment.
Move on to lunch and then go see your visitor:
Temple of Philae
The goddess Isis of Love and Beauty is the subject of the Philae Temple. As part of the UNESCO Nubia Campaign initiative, the temple complex was disassembled and moved to the adjacent island of Agilkia Island to safeguard it and other sites before the Aswan High Dam was finished in 1970.
Then check-in for the 5* Nile Cruise and stay the night.
Visit the Kom Ombo Temple on Day Two.
As your Nile Cruise makes its way near Kom Ombo in the afternoon, you may rest and have your breakfast there before joining your tour guide to explore the following places:
Temple of Kom Ombo
Temple in Kom Ombo with a view of the Nile. This temple is split into two separate temples, each having its entrance, hypostyle Hall, and sanctuaries.
After that, continue on your Nile cruise from Cairo to Edfu and spend the night there.
Day 3: Examine the Edfu Temple
Following a delicious breakfast, you will go with your excellent Egyptologist tour guide to see:
Temple of Edfu
Honoring the god Horus. The Edfu Temple is the most well-preserved Greco-Roman structure in all of Egypt, and a “Play” depicting Horus’ victory over the malevolent deity Seth is painted on its walls.
Sailing forward to Luxor during the night.
Day Four: Visit the Landmarks of Luxor
After breakfast, check off of the cruise and go to Luxor’s tourist spots with your tour guide:
The Kings’ Valley
The Valley of the Kings contains the graves of Egypt’s kings from the 18th to the 20th dynasties, including the great pharaoh King Ramses II and the young pharaoh King Tutankhamun.
Temple of Hatshepsut
Queen Hatshepsut, the monarch who assumed the role of a man, was adored by her subjects but was surrounded by controversies at all times. See one of the best-preserved examples of her magnificent temple on the West Bank of Luxor.
Memnon’s Colossi
Only two enormous stone sculptures of King Amenhotep III survive from a funerary temple that was once completely constructed. The sculptures are constructed from quartzite sandstone stones that were originally found in Cairo and transported 700 km to Luxor.
After enjoying a midday meal at an Asian restaurant, you will continue the remainder of your trip in the following directions:
Temple of Karnak
The Karnak temple is the most spectacular landmark in Egypt. It is the biggest temple complex ever constructed by humans and marks the culmination of the labors of numerous pharaohs and generations of ancient builders. On a 247-acre plot of ground, the Temple of Karnak consists of three major temples, many smaller walled temples, and several peripheral temples.
Finally, we’ll take you straight to the Luxor airport so you can catch your direct flight to Cairo. After that, we’ll take you back to your hotel so your Luxor & Aswan Nile cruise from Cairo will come to an end. Note: To meet your demands and meet your expectations, we may add or remove any trips from your tour schedule based on your suggestions.
