Day 1: Tour to Luxor East Bank – 5* Nile Cruise Check-In

Early in the morning, an air-conditioned car will pick you up from your accommodation in Port Ghalib and drive you to Luxor, where your private tour guide will be waiting to show you around:

Karnak Temple

The Great Karnak Temple, built over 2000 years from 2055 BC to 100 AD across 247 acres, serves as the heart of Thebes and showcases a captivating collection of temples and shrines dedicated to various Egyptian deities such as Amun, Osiris, Mut, Khnsou, and Isis. This temple exemplifies Egypt’s deep religious connection and ancient beliefs.

You’ll board a 5-star Nile cruise, check in, rest, and have lunch before heading out in the evening to see:

Luxor Temple by Night

Since its construction in 1400 BCE to worship the Theban triad and pay respects to them through the big Opet Festival, the festival’s ancient essence may be sensed and explored inside the majestic Luxor Temple, which only exhibits its true grandeur under the lights of the stars and moon.

Dinner is followed by an overnight stay on the Cruise.

Meals: L. D

Day 2: Visit the West Bank of Luxor

Breakfast on board your ship, followed by a private A.C car ride with your private tour guide to continue your Nile cruise tour from Port Ghalib by visiting:

The Kings’ Valley

Valley of the Kings, the immortal Pharaohs’ time capsule, contains all of the elements that make ancient Egyptian civilization unique, as it houses 20 tombs for famous Pharaohs such as the Ramses Dynasty, Tutankhamen, and others, all dating from Egypt’s New Kingdom (1570-1050 BC). Anyone who steps inside will see the oldest and finest examples of ancient Egyptian art, colorful decorations, and treasures ever created.

Temple of Hatshepsut

Since 1490 BC, the Valley of the Kings has been home to the greatest combination of greatness: beauty and might, which can be seen in every corner of Hatshepsut temple, where architectural brilliance is displayed clearly on every statue.

Memnon’s Colossi

Between the two gigantic colossi of Memnon is a gate to Luxor, and across their colossal shadows is tremendous history dating back to Amenhotep III’s reign (1386-1350 BC), who built a massive funerary temple in Cairo, nearly 700 kilometers from Luxor.

You’ll sail to Esna and Edfu in the afternoon. In Edfu, spend the night aboard the boat.
Meals: B. L. D.

Day 3: Visit Edfu and Kom Ombo Temples

After breakfast on board, begin your 5-day Nile trip from Port Ghalib by visiting:

Edfu temple

The House of Victory and Home of the Sky Deity Horus was built in 237 BC and completed in 57 BC to commemorate Horus’ victory over his uncle Set during the Ptolemaic Period. What makes the temple unique is its capacity to combine and display ancient Egyptian and Greek cultures and architecture.

Temple of Kom Ombo

No other temples in Egypt compare to the Double Temples of Horus and Sobek, built on the banks of the Nile from 205 BC to 180 BC during the Ptolemaic era. They feature an astonishing array of intricate inner works.

On board, the ship, spend the night in Aswan.

Meals: B. L. D.

Day Four: Aswan Attractions Day Tour

After breakfast, you will begin your journey by visiting some of Aswan’s most well-known tourist attractions, beginning with:

The High Dam

Designed in the 1960s with Russian assistance to usher in a new era of innovation and scientific development by storing floodwaters and generating electricity.

The Unfinished Obelisk

Ordered by Queen Hatshepsut (1508-1458 BC) to stand in the Karnak temple, it was sadly fractured during construction, yet it was nevertheless able to demonstrate the ancient Egyptians’ forgotten hidden architectural skills.

Temple of Philae

The Philae Temple, built between 380 and 362 BC during the Greco-Roman period to honor the goddess of motherhood and wife of Osiris, the ruler of the underworld, exudes constant allure and charm.

Your overnight stay on board includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Meals: B. L.D.

Day 5: Depart from Port Ghalib to complete your Nile cruise.

You’ll have breakfast first thing in the morning before checking out of the cruise, catching a first-class train to Luxor, and then driving to your hotel in Port Ghalib. ‘B’ for ‘B’ for ‘B’ for ‘B’ for Note: As soon as you contact us, you can make any modifications to your schedule.

AMAZING TOUR, SOLO TRAVELER.

October 12, 2024

I am a California woman who traveled to Egypt alone and thanks to Egypt Fun Tours I had a great time. Hani, Mohammed, Kamal and David (my driver) were very professional and very knowledgeable, I appreciate how respectful they were and how protective they were with me.

They show me everything I wanted to see in Cairo and nearby places like Saqqara, Memphis, etc. Thanks to them I had a great time in Egypt, they were so so helpful than on my second day they helped me to move from my hotel in Giza to the Steigenberger hotel in downtown Cairo.

The tour price is super good includes a guide (expert in the field) a driver, lunch and drinks, they took me to amazing places for lunch, the food was super super delicious, for a foodie like me that was a highlight. We went out fo the tourist traps and I got to see the Cairo that if you are in a bus tour you will never get to see.

This tour is personalized for each person depending of what you want to see and do, I absolutely love it.

I used WhatsApp to communicate with Hani and arranged all my tours, Hani was super super nice since the moment I contacted him and explained him what I wanted to do and see.

Hani and his group mesmerized me with the tours they put together, this is a memory I will keep for lifetime.

I had only good things to say about them and I highly recommend them.

I did visit the pyramids in Giza, downtown Cairo, new Cairo, several museums, Coptic Cairo and Muslim Cairo with them and I learned a lot from them, I felt like they were family to me and it was EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT.

If I go back to Egypt I will hire them again without hesitation.

David I take my hat off for you because I have NO IDEA how you can drive in crazy Cairo, thanks to all of you for making this lady’s dream a reality.

My Dream Came True

October 12, 2024

I had waited 60 years to get to Egypt, in fact it was my 60th birthday gift to myself. I went with my oldest daughter and the experience was excellent. It was meticulously planned by the tour company and was designed for me and my daughter. I never had a minute where I was concerned. We were met by a tour rep at the airport and every step of the way. The guides were beyond expectations. Mydo the best tour guide of Egypt was excellent and very knowledgeable. Tarek our guide for the south, was equally as knowledgeable. I can’t say enough about both. Hani the tour director is the greatest, personable and so very helpful and truly cares that you have the best experience of your life. It was a dream come true. All the holidays we stayed at were 5 star in my opinion. I don’t have a bad word to say about this tour company. My daughter and I were treated exceptionally well by all and by all in Egypt
