Sail through the heart of ancient Egypt on an unforgettable Steigenberger Regency 3 Nights journey from Aswan to Luxor aboard the luxurious Steigenberger Regency Nile Cruise.
As the golden sun reflects on the calm waters of the Nile, you’ll pass by timeless temples, lush riverbanks, and living traces of a magnificent civilization.
Each day unfolds with new discoveries—from the graceful Philae Temple in Aswan to the majestic Valley of the Kings in Luxor—blending comfort, culture, and breathtaking beauty in one extraordinary voyage.
Welcome to Aswan — the gateway to Egypt’s timeless treasures!
Upon arrival at Aswan Airport or railway station, you will be warmly greeted by our representative, who will assist you with your luggage and accompany you to your deluxe Nile cruise ship, your floating home for the next four unforgettable days.
After a delicious lunch onboard, begin your exploration with a visit to the High Dam of Aswan, one of modern Egypt’s most remarkable engineering achievements. Constructed between 1960 and 1971, the dam remains a symbol of national pride and progress.
Next, enjoy a felucca sail on the Nile to visit the magnificent Temple of Philae, dedicated to the goddess Isis. This sacred temple was saved from flooding and relocated stone by stone to Agilika Island by UNESCO during the construction of the dam.
End the day with a visit to the Unfinished Obelisk, an enormous monument that offers unique insight into ancient Egyptian stone-carving techniques. If completed, it would have been the largest obelisk ever built.
As evening falls, enjoy dinner onboard as the cruise gently drifts along the calm waters of the Nile. Overnight in Aswan.
Optional Excursions:
Sail by felucca to the Nubian Village for a closer look at Nubian culture and traditions.
Attend the Philae Sound & Light Show, bringing the legends of Isis and Osiris to life.
Wake up to your first breakfast onboard, then spend a relaxing morning enjoying the serene scenery from the sundeck as the cruise sails north.
After lunch, savor afternoon tea while gliding toward Kom Ombo, where you’ll visit the remarkable Temple of Kom Ombo. This unique double temple was shared by two gods — Sobek, the crocodile deity, and Horus the Elder. The site, dramatically overlooking the Nile, is among Egypt’s most photogenic landmarks.
Return to the cruise to continue sailing toward Edfu, and enjoy a cocktail reception hosted by the manager, followed by dinner. The evening concludes with a lively Galabeya Party, where you can join in traditional Egyptian festivities. Overnight in Edfu.
Optional Tour:
Take an early morning trip to Abu Simbel, the breathtaking twin temples built by Pharaoh Ramses II. These colossal structures, relocated by UNESCO to prevent submersion, remain one of Egypt’s most astonishing architectural achievements. Travel is available by flight or coach.
After breakfast, step ashore to visit the Temple of Edfu, one of Egypt’s best-preserved sanctuaries, dedicated to the falcon god Horus. Admire its monumental columns, detailed inscriptions, and beautifully preserved reliefs that depict the eternal struggle between good and evil.
Return to the cruise and sail onward to Luxor via Esna, where you can enjoy a leisurely afternoon tea on the sundeck, taking in views of traditional villages and fertile farmlands along the Nile.
In the evening, indulge in dinner onboard followed by captivating onboard entertainment, including a belly dance and a mesmerizing whirling dervish show. Overnight in Luxor.
Optional Experience:
Attend the Karnak Sound & Light Show, a spectacular evening performance that narrates the stories of Egypt’s pharaohs under the starry Luxor sky.
Enjoy your final breakfast onboard before check-out, then begin your tour of Luxor’s breathtaking monuments.
Start on the West Bank with a visit to the Valley of the Kings, the eternal resting place of the New Kingdom’s greatest rulers. Step inside the elaborately decorated tombs, where vibrant wall paintings tell stories of the afterlife.
Continue to the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, an architectural masterpiece carved into the cliffs of Deir El Bahari. Here, Egypt’s first female pharaoh portrayed herself as a male ruler to assert her divine right to power.
Before leaving the West Bank, stop at the Colossi of Memnon, two monumental statues that once guarded the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III and are famed for their ancient “singing” legend at sunrise.
Crossing back to the East Bank, visit the grand Karnak Temple Complex, an awe-inspiring display of columns, pylons, and sacred lakes built over centuries. Conclude your journey at the elegant Luxor Temple, dedicated to the Theban triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu.
After your tour, our representative will transfer you to Luxor Airport or railway station, assisting you with your departure formalities.
Optional Excursion:
Experience the magic of a Hot Air Balloon Ride over Luxor at sunrise, floating above temples, tombs, and the lush Nile Valley — a once-in-a-lifetime experience that offers a breathtaking perspective of ancient Thebes.
