On the first day after you register for the cruise and we take care of transporting you from your location in Aswan to the cruise, our visit will begin so that we can make the most of every minute of your time.

We'll begin with a visit to the High Dam, a relentless force that has provided Egypt with agricultural development, flood protection, electricity, and has contributed to attracting tourism to Aswan. It's a cultural hub for irrigation engineers, with approximately 1,500 employees, technicians, and engineers working there as soldiers protecting the dam. Learn more about the other side of the dam's negative aspects.

Our next stop is Aswan's Unfinished Obelisk.  The Unfinished Obelisk is made of red granite, Aswan's distinctive raw stone.  The Fourth Dynasty pharaohs Khafre and Menkaure placed a great deal of emphasis on covering with pink granite.  Khafre used about 17,000 cubic meters of stone to build the Sphinx Temple, the valley temple, and the mortuary temple.   Menkaure also covered the lowest part of his pyramid at Giza with about 15,000 cubic meters of pink granite from Aswan.

After that, you and your guide will go to the final archeological site of the day.  Numerous structures from the Ptolemaic era (332–30 BC) may be seen among the Temple of Philae's ruins.  The most notable is the temple devoted to Isis, the mother of Horus, the deity of kingship, which was started by Ptolemy II Philadelphus between 285-246 BC.  It shows Isis breastfeeding her baby Horus in the marshes in the mammisi, the birth chamber where Horus's birth was commemorated.

Finally you will return to your cruise for dinner and enjoy the Nile and the parties held.

The cruise includes breakfast before starting your trip. After that, you'll get ready and agree with your guide on the timings for the tour. Today you'll visit Kom Ombo. 

The Temple of Kom Ombo is unique among Egyptian temples in several ways; the most important of which is that it's the only temple with a double axis in ancient Egyptian civilization. 

This duality is only felt within the temple through the two sanctuaries and the scenes: the one on the right depicts Sobek-Ra, while the one on the left depicts Horus the Great. Naturally, this does not exclude the representation of both deities on opposing sides.  In addition, this temple features a number of distinctive scenarios that are not present in other temples, including the well-known "Surgical Instruments Scene."

After taking a tour of this temple and learning everything you need to know. You will return to the cruise for a delicious lunch and entertainment before sailing to beautiful Edfu and having fun during the cruise's parties.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

In the morning, after a full night's rest, you will gather at the cruise restaurant for breakfast. After that, your guide will drive you to Edfu in a horse-drawn carriage. You will begin from your cruise ship's river port, go along Edfu's Nile Corniche Street, and finally arrive at the Temple of Horus.

Through the Horus festivals at Edfu, the Temple of Edfu provides us with a comprehensive and exquisite representation of the everyday prayers held there, supported by sources. What most catches the attention of visitors upon entering the temple, on the left side, is a curious mural, which some see as resembling the modern "Wi-Fi" sign, prompting many to take pictures next to it, wondering about its authenticity. In reality, this sign is nothing more than a symbolic representation of the offerings that were presented to the gods at that time. It actually represents pieces of meat.

A sanctuary for the sacred falcon, where he lived and governed for a year, is also mentioned in the temple's inscriptions. This falcon was a living bird that was elected and crowned annually. The day of its election and coronation was considered one of the greatest annual festivals.

It's time to explore Luxor Temple after the cruise's lunch and sail to Luxor. See the great hypostyle hall and how Tutankhamun decorated it with rings from the Opet festival.

See the Great Hypostyle Hall and how Tutankhamun decorated it with rings from the Opet Festival. Through it, you will learn about one of the three most important religious festivals of ancient Egypt, initiated by Hatshepsut. Through it, you may also glimpse scenes of Amenhotep III's heavenly birth on the walls of the Holy of Holies. Learn more and see the components of the temple through us.

We will then transport you back to your cruise. Meals: breakfast, lunch and dinner.

We begin today's tours with a full day of sightseeing, starting after breakfast with a visit to Karnak. It is a temple in whose construction many of the pharaohs participated, because of the importance of its religious site, so the Karnak temple complex consisted of 10 edifices.

This place was chosen since ancient times because the pharaohs believed that the sun god descended and “died” on the western horizon to be reborn and rejuvenated on the eastern horizon, and for this reason the west was associated with funerary concepts and most ancient Egyptian tombs were generally located on the west bank of the Nile River for this reason and even now Egyptians prefer to build their tombs in the west.

You can book an optional extra ticket to Tutankhamun's tomb and enjoy the special sights in the tomb as King A participates in the mouth opening ritual ceremonies This ceremony is to touch the mouth with a small foot, as they believe that in this way, life is renewed for all the body's abilities.
Next, we move on to Hatshepsut's temple, which her vizier Senenmut was inspired by the neighboring temple of Amenhotep II

The last place with us today is the amazing colossal statues of Memnon. Learn about who built them and his wife Ti, who was mentioned next to his name, and because of her importance, her name was engraved on a scarab sacred to the Egyptians to immortalize her name and memory, in addition to her name in other ceremonial rings. At the end, our representative will transfer you to the airport, station or even your hotel in Luxor
