Top Cruises on the Nile River from Hurghada

On the second day of our trip, after breakfast, you will visit:

• Valley of the Kings 
• Two statues of Memnon
• Hatshepsut Temple

As for the Valley of the Kings, this burial site was carefully chosen, as it is located on the west bank of the Nile, in the belief that the sun god descended (died) on the western horizon in order 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 for this reason.

As for the Temple of Hatshepsut, Deir el-Bahri is an architectural masterpiece and a distinctive artistic style for a temple built by the excavation system in Mount Qurna to increase tourists' fascination with the greatness of the ancient Egyptians in building temples and royal palaces in a unique geometric style that corresponds to the science of astronomy.

The walls of the temple are covered with scenes representing temple rituals and religious festivals, as well as the transfer of obelisks from the quarries to Karnak Temple, in addition to Hatshepsut's expedition to the country of Punt was recorded on the central balcony, and its inhabitants and houses were depicted as well as the surrounding environment and the wealth and exotic animals that the Egyptians brought with them from there, and on the other side, how Hatshepsut became the legitimate king of the country.

At the end, you will return to the cruise by private air-conditioned vehicle with your guide.

The Kom Ombo temple was built during the reign of Ptolemy VI Philometor, either in the Roman era during the reign of Emperor Tiberius, or it was decorated, which explains why it has the same characteristics as other Egyptian Ptolemaic temples, whether in terms of design, architecture, decoration or architecture and decoration.

The temple has views of the surgical tools that they used in the past for medical operations, and it is located on the eastern bank of the Nile about 4 km south of the city of Kumbo, and it is located in an area called Al-Jayara behind the village of Al-Shatab.

Each of the gods Sobek and Horus the Great have their own triads, which are located inside the temple. The triad of the god Sobek consists of him, his wife Hathout, and his son called Bakhansu Hor.

Edfu produced heroes who fought the Hyksos valiantly, and the civilisation of Kab, located on the east bank of the Nile north of the city, was called ‘Nekhab’ by the ancient Egyptians. Nekhab was the capital of the second province of Upper Egypt, and the main goddess worshiped there became the goddess ‘Nekhabt’, who was always represented in the form of an eagle bird, or a woman crowned with the crown of the Qabalistic face.

On the third day, after breakfast, you will visit:

• Kom Ombo Temple 
• Edfu Temple

Your guide will teach you about the culture of the people and the archaeological sites in Egypt. One of the positive effects of the High Dam is that it worked to protect Egypt from flooding and drought as well, as Lake Nasser reduces the rush of flood waters and stores them for use in dry years.

The High Dam also worked to increase the area of agricultural land and expand the agricultural area as a result of the availability of water, this is a horizontal expansion and also worked on vertical expansion, which is planting more crops on the land as a result of the availability of water, possibly three crops per year, and this is also a positive impact that worked to generate electricity, which benefited Egypt economically.

As for the unfinished obelisk, the Pharaohs usually called these huge stone blocks ‘tekino’, which means ‘penetrating the sky’. As many already know, ancient Egyptian obelisks were four-sided, tapered rectangular columns with a pyramid at the top. These columns were placed on pedestals and were usually built to commemorate an individual or an event or to honour the gods.

On the fourth day, you will visit: 

• The High Dam 
• Unfinished Obelisk 
• Philae Temple
