Tour Plan

Visit Abu Simbel Temple . Built on the west bank of the Nile River, between the first and second cataracts of the Nile, the site of Abu Simbel is one of the most recognizable ancient sites in Egypt. It contains two temples, carved into a mountainside, that were built by pharaoh Ramesses II (1303-1213 B.C).Abu Simbel today is no longer in the same location as it was in ancient times. “Following the decision to build a new High Dam at Aswan in the early 1960s, the temples were dismantled and relocated in 1968 on the desert plateau 64 meters (about 200 feet) above and 180 meters (600 feet) west of their original site, The area where they were originally located is now flooded. After getting back from the amazing visit of the Temple , you will be enjoying your Afternoon Tea time on board of the cruise and have some relaxation and refreshment. Dinner will be on board of the Cruise and overnight.
Meals Included:

Dinner
Optional Visit to Sound And Light Show at Abu Simbel
In the Evening you will have a fascinating Sound & Light Show at Abu Simbel Temple . The Sound and Light show at Abu Simbel will convey you to the time of the pharaohs. Enchanting you with melodious music, and bringing the ancient world to life around you, the show includes projections into the temples showing how they once looked. The program is presented in a number of languages with the provision of ear pieces. It is an experience not to be missed, one that will make your visit to Abu Simbel the memory of a lifetime.
Breakfast on board of your Cruise. Early sail to Kasr Ibrim. View Kasr Ibrim from Sundeck , The Citadel Of Kasr Ibrim was once a formidable city high above the Nile River, but today it appears as an Island due to the construction of the Aswan High Dam. You will have your lunch on the cruise. Later on you will join your guide to visit the Amada Temple, Temple of Amada was originally built by Pharaoh Thutmose III who ruled during the 18thdynasty. When he died, his son, Amenhotep II took over, and during his reign he continued adding to the original temple and improving the temple’s decorations. Later when Amenhotep died, his successor, Thutmose IV once again began to initiate a number of changes, including the addition of a roof to cover the original temple’s open style forecourt. Then you will visit the Temple of Derr , Ramssess II is certainly one of the most recognizable figures in Egyptian history because of his long and victorious reign, and the many temples and structures he built during this period. This makes the Temple of Derr a particular treasure due to its original position which was on the eastern shore of the Nile where very few other structures were placed, and also because it is a remarkably fine example of the pharaoh’s preferred rock cut style. Finally you will visit the Tomb Of Pennut , If you follow a simple path that leads away from the two temples, you’ll soon find yourself coming face to face with one of the rarest sights in Egypt – a rock cut tomb belonging to a Viceroy of Kush. What makes this particular tomb so fascinating, is the fact that just like the temples nearby, it too was relocated from its original location in order to spare it from the flooding that was caused by the construction of the Aswan High Dam during the 1960s. After finishing your day tours , you will be back to your cruise where later on you will attend a cocktail party and then a very nice Nubian show on board of the cruise. Dinner will be on the cruise and overnight.

Breakfast on board of your Cruise. You will have an early visit to Wadi El Seboua , Visiting Wadi El Seboua while you’re touring Lake Nasser makes for an unforgettable experience since the area is home to a number of relocated ancient sites. Wadi El Seboua is now home to two “New Kingdom” temples, as well as the Temple of Dakka and the Temple of Maharraqua. Most visitors to the site want to explore all of these buildings and therefore they tend to dedicate a full day to the site. Many visitors begin with the famous “Valley of the Lions,” which is a sphinx-lined avenue that leads to the older of the two “New Kingdom” structures. This is the temple which was built by Amenhotep III and dedicated to a Nubian version of the god, Horus. It is a rock cut temple, with a brick pylon that remains intact. The courtyard and main hall still exist to this day, and there are also some admirable paintings. You will have your lunch on the cruise. Sail To Aswan. Dinner will be on the cruise and overnight Aswan.

Visit KalBreakfast will be served on board of your ship. Later on, you will join your Egyptologist tour guide to discover the the Temple of Kalabsha . Located within view of the High Dam, Kalabsha Temple is often the first stop for any cruise on Lake Nasser. It was moved to this spot from its originally location 30 miles to the south after the construction of the dam.Construction of the temple was begun at the end of the Ptolomaic Dynasty and actually completed under the rule of the Roman Emperor Augustus. The result is an interesting combination of imagery that includes Egyptian and Roman themes with images of Roman emperors and pharaohs worshipping with the Egyptian gods. The temple was dedicated to the Nubian god Mandulis. Later on you will check out from your cruise and our representative will transfer you to your accommodation hotel in Aswan.

From desert sands to starry skies , this cruise was the whole package
If you’ve ever wanted to live inside a history book with five-star sheets , Omar El Khayam is it .
The landscape felt otherworldly , and the temples – especially Abu Simbel – blew me away . The symmetry , the carvings , the scale … photos don’t do it justice .
Also , shoutout to whoever designed the bathrooms . Luxurious , spotless , and always smelling like lavender
Cletus Rayburn –
Fancy boat , fascinating ruins , and fresh falafel
Not gonna lie , I didn’t expect to enjoy a cruise this much . But dang , they know how to treat folks onboard Omar El Khayam .
We hit temple after temple , and every one was cooler than the last . I swear , our guide knew every rock and crack by name .
The top deck had loungers I wanted to smuggle back home . Pro tip : try the falafel at breakfast . You’ll want seconds .
Jolene Harkins –
This cruise hit all the right spots – mystery , comfort , and sunshine . The decor on Omar El Khayam gave me old-world glamour , while the comfy lounges and smoothies kept things grounded .
The journey between Aswan and Abu Simbel felt like floating through an open-air museum . And I didn’t have to lift a finger .
My favorite moment ? Watching the sun dip behind the sand dunes with a glass of cold karkadeh in hand . Pure serenity .

Epic food , ancient temples , five-star naps – I was living my best life
Y’all . I went for the temples , stayed for the dessert table . Every day onboard felt like a celebration .
From the friendly greetings each morning to the cool towel after excursions , the service was next-level .
I especially loved the day we visited Qasr Ibrim ruins – learning about how it’s the only site still in its original location was wild . Our guide made it super digestible for folks like me who flunked history
Delilah Boone –
I don’t usually do cruises , but this one changed my mind . Omar El Khayam felt like the right mix of intimate and pampered . The lake views ? Stunning .
Loved the historical bits – I mean , sailing between temples that are thousands of years old ? Unreal .
The wifi was spotty , but honestly , that helped me unplug . The spa treatments were so relaxing , I nearly fell asleep during my massage .
Went in April – hot in the afternoon , but the air-conditioning onboard worked perfectly .

Four days of floating bliss through time
It was a quick four-day trip , but it felt like a full vacation . The Omar El Khayam is less of a boat and more of a five-star hotel with a view that keeps changing .
My favorite day was exploring Amada Temple . There were literally no other tourists around . It felt like a private show by ancient Egypt just for us .
They had these little musical evenings in the lounge – fun , casual , and totally unexpected . We even learned a few dance moves from the crew .
Darla Pruitt –
I didn’t expect to fall in love with a boat , but Omar El Khayam changed that . From the check-in to the farewell , everything ran like clockwork – but with a smile .
We were a small group and the vibe felt super intimate . I even made friends with a couple from Montana over sunset cocktails .
Abu Simbel was simply jaw-dropping . I had goosebumps walking through the colossal gates , and our guide’s storytelling brought it all to life . It wasn’t just sightseeing – it was connecting with something ancient and powerful .
Wesley Hatchett –
Lake Nasser , sunshine , temples , and endless desserts – yes please
This cruise had everything I didn’t know I needed . The Omar El Khayam blended relaxation and excitement like it was its full-time job . I spent mornings lounging on the sundeck and afternoons being blown away by ancient temples .
The ship was spotless and smelled like fresh citrus every day ( don’t ask me how they do it ) . My room had more storage than my apartment and a bed I didn’t want to leave . The buffet had Egyptian , Mediterranean , and even some Southern-style comfort food – someone back there knows their way around a kitchen .
Loretta Dean –
Traveling aboard the Omar El Khayam made me feel like Cleopatra with a modern twist . Every inch of this cruise screamed elegance and class . Our suite had a private balcony with uninterrupted lake views – the kind of scene you see in brochures and think , “no way it looks like that in real life .” Well , it does .
What really stood out was the staff’s attention to detail . My husband asked for extra pillows once , and from then on , they brought two to our cabin every night without being reminded . That kind of memory is rare .
The excursions to Kalabsha Temple and Wadi El Seboua felt like unwrapping layers of ancient mystery . The hieroglyphs , the desert landscape , the sheer age of these sites – it’s overwhelming in the best way .
Harvey McAllister –
Gliding through ancient wonders aboard the Omar El Khayam was just what I needed
We sailed through Lake Nasser like we owned it . The ship itself felt like a floating five-star hotel , with grand interiors , plush bedding , and those massive panoramic windows that let in the Nubian magic . One of the mornings , I woke up to the most surreal sunrise over the water – no filter could do it justice .
The food ? Delicious and always served with a smile . I probably gained five pounds and zero regrets . And the crew ? Warm , funny , and totally in sync with what guests need . They treated us like royalty without being too stiff .
Abu Simbel was the crown jewel . Standing in front of Ramses II’s temple , I genuinely felt like a time traveler . The local guide gave us deep historical context without turning it into a school lecture . It was interactive , full of jokes , and super memorable .
