The Prime Itinerary & Sailing Route of Ms Sara II

Ms Sara II typically sails the classic Luxor to Aswan route – a 4‑night or 3‑night journey (depending on direction) that covers the most celebrated sites of Upper Egypt. Departing from Luxor, the cruise heads south along the Nile, with stops at the Temple of Edfu and the double temple of Kom Ombo before arriving in Aswan. The itinerary is carefully scheduled for morning and late‑afternoon excursions, avoiding the fierce midday heat. For those preferring the reverse direction, Aswan to Luxor itineraries are also available. The ship’s pace is relaxed, allowing ample time on the sun deck to watch rural Egyptian life unfold: farmers tending fields, water buffalo cooling in the shallows, and feluccas drifting silently. The cruise can be combined with Egypt tour packages that include Cairo and the Red Sea. Bastet Travel can help you choose the best departure date and cabin category to fit your schedule and budget.

Across the river, the Valley of the Kings holds the tomb of Tutankhamun and over 60 other pharaohs, while the terraced Hatshepsut Temple rises dramatically against limestone cliffs. Sailing south, the Temple of Edfu – dedicated to the falcon god Horus – is one of the best‑preserved temples in Egypt. Further south, the double temple of Kom Ombo honours the crocodile god Sobek and the falcon god Haroeris. In Aswan, you will visit the Philae Temple dedicated to Isis, the High Dam, the Unfinished Obelisk, and the Nubian Museum. Optional excursions to Abu Simbel can be arranged.
