Tour Itinerary

Upon your arrival in Luxor, a Bastet Travel representative will welcome you and provide a private transfer to your 5-star superior cruise ship. After settling in and enjoying your first lunch onboard, you will head to the East Bank to explore the colossal Karnak Temple, the largest religious structure ever built. You will then visit the elegant Luxor Temple, situated in the heart of the city, which offers a stunning display of ancient architecture. Return to the Royal Ruby II for a gourmet dinner and a restful first night as you prepare for the wonders of the West Bank.

Following breakfast, you will cross to the West Bank to explore the "realm of the afterlife," starting with the legendary Valley of the Kings, where the New Kingdom pharaohs were buried in gold-lined tombs. You will then visit the magnificent terraced Hatshepsut Temple, built for Egypt's most powerful female ruler, and stop at the massive Colossi of Memnon, which have stood guard for over 3,000 years. After returning to the ship for lunch, enjoy a relaxing afternoon sail toward Edfu, witnessing the engineering of the Esna Lock while enjoying afternoon tea on the sundeck.

Your day begins with a charming horse-drawn carriage ride to the Edfu Temple, dedicated to the falcon god Horus and recognized as the best-preserved temple in the Nile Valley. After exploring its massive pylons, return to the cruise to enjoy lunch while sailing south through the picturesque Egyptian countryside. In the late afternoon, you will take a short walk to visit the unique Temple of Kom Ombo, a dual sanctuary dedicated to both Sobek and Haroeris. You will also visit the nearby Crocodile Museum before returning to the ship for dinner as we sail toward Aswan.

 

Arriving in the beautiful city of Aswan, your morning tour features the modern High Dam, an engineering feat that controls the Nile's flow, and the ancient Unfinished Obelisk, which reveals the secrets of Pharaonic stonemasonry. You will then board a motorboat for a scenic trip to Agilika Island to visit the stunning Philae Temple, a romantic complex dedicated to the goddess Isis. Return to the Royal Ruby II for lunch, with the afternoon free to explore the local markets or relax by the pool, followed by a final celebratory dinner on board.

On your final morning, you have the option to take an early morning road trip to the world-famous Abu Simbel Temples or enjoy a leisurely felucca sail around Aswan’s botanical gardens and Nubian villages. After a final breakfast in the ship’s elegant dining room, you will complete the check-out process. A Bastet Travel representative will provide a private transfer to Aswan Airport or the railway station for your departure.
