This morning, after breakfast, get ready for a Cairo City Tour. The first in the list is a visit to the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx. These wonderful man-made creations are believed to be amongst the 4,500-year-old monuments. The pyramids have a theory that they were built to hide the tombs of the Pharaohs (Kings). On the other hand, the Sphinx is a magnificent structure that flaunts the head of Pharaoh Khafre on the body of a lion.

Next, head to the Papyrus Institute to see how ancient Egyptians made paper. Further, shop for souvenirs at the perfume factory and jewellery shops. Enjoy a sound and light show in the evening, or embark on a dinner cruise to savour continental and oriental cuisines along with the Belly dancers. Your overnight stay will be on the cruise.

Rise and get ready to catch a morning flight to the ancient city of Aswan in Egypt. Upon arrival, get an assisted transfer to board your Nile cruise ship. Furthermore, you will make a stop at the renowned Aswan Dam, an embankment dam constructed as a multipurpose project.

Next, take a boat to the stunning Philae temple, dedicated to the Goddess Isis. The temple is one of the largest in Egypt, and its architecture boasts traditional Pylon structures. This temple was moved stone by stone to save it from flooding!

Later, sail to Kom Ombo Temple, unique for honouring two gods, Sobek (the crocodile god) and Haroeris (the falcon god). See ancient carvings and mummified crocodiles. Your cruise continues toward Edfu as the sun sets. At night, have dinner and have a restful sleep.

Wake up early, have breakfast, and then proceed to visit the Temple of Horus at Edfu. This is one of the most well-preserved temples in Egypt, with walls adorned with intricate carvings that tell ancient stories. After exploring Edfu, return to your cruise ship for a relaxing afternoon sailing to Luxor.

Watch the countryside as you pass by the farmers working their fields, children playing by the river, and palm trees swaying in the breeze. In the evening, your ship will pass through the Esna Lock, an open-air museum, before arriving in Luxor. Further, have dinner and an overnight stay on the cruise.

Today, after breakfast on board, head to the West Bank area, which is home to incredible ancient monuments. Here, you’ll first visit the Valley of the Kings, where pharaohs were buried in hidden tombs. Next, explore the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, dedicated to the sun god Amon-Ra. This unique temple is built into the cliffs and features beautiful terraces and columns.

Before returning to your cruise, you’ll stop at the Colossi of Memnon, the two giant stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III that have guarded this area for over 3,000 years. These massive figures are all that remain of what was once the largest temple in Egypt.

Further, have your dinner, followed by an overnight stay on the cruise.

After having your first meal of the day, it’s time to bid adieu to your cruise and head to the airport to fly back to Cairo. Here, meet our representative and enjoy an assisted transfer to the pre-listed hotel, complete the check-in, and unwind.
