Welcome to Aswan! Our tour begins when you are greeted by our representative who will assist you at either Aswan airport or Aswan railway station. After you have collected your luggage, he will then take you, in our deluxe vehicle, to your cruise boat: your floating hotel for your next 4 days.
After an onboard lunch, you visit Aswan's High Dam which is modern Egypt's most lauded and yet controversial building project. It begun in 1960 and taking 11 years to complete.
After a short felucca sail, you visit Egypt's ancient center for the cult of Isis, the Temples of Philae. It was saved from a watery grave by UNESCO's rescue project during the building of the Aswan High Dam; the temples were transferred block by block from their original place on Philae Island to Agilika Island.
Finally yet importantly the unfinished obelisk, it is a 41-meter-long and four-meter-wide chunk of stone. It is estimated that if completed, the obelisk would have weighed 1,168 tons and would have been the largest ever hewn.
As the Nile flows gently underneath you, dinner is served.
The cruise overnight in Aswan.
Optional Trip: You may choose to sail, by felucca, to see the Nubian village.
Optional Trip: You may choose to attend Philae Sound and light show
Your first breakfast on board during an early sail to Komombo. As the cruise embark, you will visit the temple. The soaring columns of the Great Temple of Kom Ombo rising dramatically above the Nile's bank are one of Egypt's iconic views. This temple dedicated to the gods Sobek and Haroeris.
By getting back to the boat, the boat sails to Edfu.
After lunch, transfer to visit Edfu Temple. The temple's looming sandstone walls are covered in giant hieroglyphics and dazzling friezes that ape the patriotic decorations of earlier pharaohs. After your visit to this superb temple, you will be taken back to the boat to sail onward to Luxor via Esna. Now, it is time for an afternoon Tea on the Sundeck.
This evening let us enjoy the cocktail party followed by dinner. After dinner, you are invited to Galabeya Party in the Bar.
The cruise overnight in Luxor.
After breakfast onboard, it is time to visit the West Bank of Luxor starting with the Valley of the Kings. It was the final resting place for the kings of the 18th, 19th, and 20th dynasties. Covered in intricately detailed, vibrant wall-paintings, the tombs are normally every visitor's number-one stop on a West Bank visit.
Followed by the visit of Hatshepsut. The Temple is magnificently situated at the foot of the sheer cliffs fringing the desert hills. The temple itself was also partly hewn from the rock. Here Queen Hatshepsut had herself represented with the attributes of a male pharaoh (beard and short apron) to demonstrate that she possessed all the authority of a king.
Finishing with the immense Colossi of Memnon. The statue emitted a musical note at sunrise and this gave rise to the myth that Memnon was greeting his mother, Eos, with this soft, plaintive note.
After lunch, you will visit the East bank starting with Karnak Temple. The temple complex of Karnak is not built to a single unified plan. It represents the building activity of many successive rulers, which became the most important of Egypt's temples during the New Kingdom.
Followed by Luxor Temple visit that was built first by Amenophis III and was dedicated to Amun.
After dinner, you are invited to Belly Dance & Dervish show in the Bar.
