It sails between Luxor and Aswan or vice versa, a distance of 220 kilometers. With an overnight stay in Esna/Edfu and either Luxor or Aswan.
When embarking on a picturesque journey along the majestic Nile, our itinerary unfolds like the pages of a captivating historical novel, offering several stops that provide an immersive encounter with the unique collections of both ancient and modern monuments. This riverine odyssey introduces our discerning travelers to the wonders of Aswan, where they will marvel at the engineering prowess of the High Dam, explore the ethereal beauty of the Temple of Philae, and contemplate the grandeur of the Unfinished Obelisk, each site contributing to the tapestry of Egypt‘s cultural heritage.
The journey continues to Luxor, a city steeped in historical significance, where our meticulously scheduled visits promise a profound exploration of renowned landmarks. The Valley of the Kings, a necropolis boasting the tombs of pharaohs and nobles, beckons with its cryptic allure. The Temple of Queen Hatshepsut at Deir El Bahari stands as a testament to ancient architectural finesse, while the Colossi of Memnon, towering sentinels of a bygone era, evoke a sense of awe. The Karnak Temples Complex, a sprawling testament to devotion, and the Temple of Luxor, an architectural marvel, further enrich our journey through the annals of history.
Adding an extra layer of enrichment, our esteemed guests have the exclusive opportunity to visit the Temple of Kom Ombo, affectionately known as the Crocodile Temple in the local parlance, and the impeccably preserved Temple of Horus in Edfu. These lesser-explored gems provide a nuanced understanding of Egypt‘s multifaceted history, enriching the cultural tapestry woven along the Nile.
Recognizing the desire for a tailored exploration, we extend an invitation to indulge in various optional tours, curated based on individual preferences. Whether cruising the Nile for 03, 04, or 07 nights, our valued guests will find ample time to immerse themselves in one or two optional tours, supplementing the standard historical excursions in Aswan, Luxor, and the intervening sites.
The array of optional tours is as diverse as the landscapes along the Nile. Adventure enthusiasts can soar above the ancient wonders with the Hot Air Balloon experience in Luxor, while those seeking a more theatrical encounter can be mesmerized by the Sound & Light Show at Karnak or Philae Temple. A serene sail by Felucca or sailing boat around the enchanting islands of Luxor and Aswan offers a unique perspective on the river’s beauty. Meanwhile, history enthusiasts can opt for a deep dive into the hidden treasures of Pharaonic sites, including the Valley of the Queens, the formidable Ramsseum, the atmospheric Temple of Madinet Habu, and the haunting tombs of Deir El Madina in Luxor.
Not to be overshadowed, Aswan offers its own set of optional wonders, with regular arrangements for visits to the magnificent Temples of Abu Simbel, the enduring Temple of Kalabsha, the immersive Nubian Museum, and the scenic Nubian Village, blending history with the natural beauty of the region.
In crafting this comprehensive Nile Cruise experience, we endeavor to create more than a mere voyage; it is a journey through time, a curated exploration of Egypt‘s treasures, both celebrated and hidden, as the timeless river narrates the tales of a civilization that continues to captivate the world.
