Tour Itinerary

Welcome to the capital of history! Upon arrival at Luxor airport or the railway station, your adventure begins with a warm meet and assist service followed by a private transfer to the ship. You will check in before lunch and enjoy a welcome cocktail while meeting the professional crew of the Royal Ruby. The rest of the day is yours to unwind in your classic cabin or explore the ship's 5-star facilities as you settle into the rhythm of the river.

After a fresh breakfast, you will cross to the West Bank to explore the domain of the afterlife, including the world-famous Valley of the Kings and the stunning Temple of Queen Hatshepsut. You will also stand before the towering Colossi of Memnon, the massive stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III. In the afternoon, relax on the sundeck with a refreshing drink as the ship begins its scenic sail south toward the Esna Lock, offering beautiful views of the rural Nile banks.

This morning, you will reach Edfu to visit the majestic Temple of Horus, the most well-preserved cult temple in Egypt, via a traditional horse-drawn carriage ride. After returning to the ship, the cruise sails toward Kom Ombo while you enjoy a diverse international buffet for lunch. This evening, celebrate the vibrant local culture with a fun Egyptian Galabia Party on board, where guests can enjoy traditional music and themed dinner festivities.

Upon arriving in Aswan, you will embark on a comprehensive tour of the High Dam, the Unfinished Obelisk, and the romantic Philae Temple, located on a beautiful island. Later in the afternoon, enjoy the tranquility of the Nile on a traditional Felucca boat as you sail around the Botanical Gardens. This is a highlight of the 8-day journey, offering a serene perspective of Aswan’s unique granite rock formations and lush greenery.

Today is a dedicated free day in Aswan, providing the perfect opportunity for an optional early morning excursion to the magnificent Abu Simbel Temples of Ramses II. If you choose to stay in Aswan, you can explore the local markets or simply enjoy the swimming pool and sundeck on the Royal Ruby. In the evening, the ship hosts a festive Nubian Show, featuring local music and dance that captures the soulful spirit of Southern Egypt.

The ship begins its return journey north, stopping at the Temple of Kom Ombo, which is uniquely shared by the two gods Sobek the crocodile and Horus the Elder. You will explore the fascinating reliefs and the nearby Crocodile Museum before returning to the vessel for lunch. Spend the afternoon enjoying the 5-star amenities and the panorama bar as you sail back toward Esna, revisiting the beauty of the Nile from a new angle.

Returning to Luxor, you will visit the massive Karnak Temple Complex, the largest religious site ever built, and the beautifully illuminated Luxor Temple. This final full day of your itinerary allows you to capture the photos you might have missed on day one at a much more relaxed pace. Enjoy a final farewell dinner on board as you celebrate the successful completion of your round-trip odyssey through the heart of ancient Egypt.

Enjoy your final breakfast on the Royal Ruby while taking in one last view of the Luxor riverfront before the check-out process at 8:00 AM. Your 5-star journey concludes with a smooth private transfer to Luxor airport or the railway station for your onward travel.
