Nile Cruise itinerary
Day 1: 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
In Aswan, workers constructed a bridge across the Nile, and between 1960 and 1970, they built the High Dam, significantly impacting Egypt’s economy and culture.
The Unfinished Obelisk
The most well-known ancient obelisk is the Lateran Obelisk, originally located in Karnak, which was later moved to the Lateran Palace in Rome. Queen Hatshepsut commissioned it around 1508–1458 BC, likely as a tribute.
Move on to lunch and then 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, they disassembled the temple complex and moved it to Agilkia Island to safeguard it and other sites before completing the Aswan High Dam in 1970.
Then check-in for the 5-night Nile Cruise and stay the night.
Day 2: Visit the Kom Ombo Temple: 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 4: 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 in a funerary temple that was once wholly constructed. The sculptures are built from quartzite sandstone stones that were initially 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:
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 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.
