Itinerary

In our first day on our cruise we will start with a magical visit, Valley of the Kings,
Immerse yourself in the magical world of the Valley of the Kings, one of the most famous burial sites in world history, embedded in a breathtaking lunar landscape of sand and stone. This long-cherished dream becomes reality for you. Thebes West, located on the western bank of the Nile opposite Luxor, is home to a variety of captivating sights and ancient sites. During our excursion you will admire the famous Colossi of Memnon, which are the only remaining witnesses of what was probably the largest mortuary temple ever built in Egypt before an earthquake destroyed it.

The Valley of the Kings is home to the final resting places of the pharaohs of the New Kingdom, an era in which Egypt experienced its heyday of advanced civilization. Hardly any other place in Egypt holds as many legends as this valley. The legendary and opulently decorated tomb of Tutankhamen is also located here, impressing with its wealth and splendor. In Deir el-Bahari stands the magnificent Hatshepsut Temple, one of the most beautiful temples in Egypt and a masterpiece of Egyptian architecture. The idiosyncratic limestone building impresses with its modern style and unique appearance. The wide, straight entrance and the majestic rock massif behind it create an overall composition that can hardly be put into words.

After our eventful excursion, we return to Luxor, where you relax on the deck of your cruise ship and reflect on the day's impressions.

As your ship travels upriver, you will reach the fascinating towns of Edfu and Kom Ombo. The best-preserved temple in Egypt awaits you in Edfu - the Temple of Horus. This architectural masterpiece has also served as a backdrop for various films. Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of ancient Egypt and be enchanted by the splendor and wealth of detail of this temple.

Halfway between Edfu and Aswan, you will reach the next stop - the Temple of Kom Ombo. This temple dates back to the Greco-Roman period and is located on a hill right on the bank. From here you have a beautiful view of the majestic Nile and the surrounding fields. Let yourself be seduced by the atmosphere of this historic place and enjoy the unique scenery.

After an eventful day, you return to your ship, where you will spend another restful night.

A fascinating excursion awaits you in Aswan as you explore the highlights of the region. Your day begins with a visit to the Nasser Dam, built in 1971. Immerse yourself in the impressive engineering skills and learn more about the significance of this imposing structure. During a scenic crossing on a traditional felucca, a traditional Egyptian sailing boat, you will reach the island of Agilkia, home to the Philae Temple. Admire the magnificent temple ruins, which tell of the history of Egypt in their own unique way.

On your trip you will also visit Kitchener Island, another magical river island near Aswan. A species-rich botanical garden awaits you here, which will enchant you with its natural beauty and diverse flora. Enjoy the view from the water of the impressive mausoleum of the Aga Khan III, which exudes a special atmosphere.

After an eventful day, you have time to stroll through the Aswan bazaar and experience the hustle and bustle of the local traders and artisans. Let yourself be seduced by the exotic scents, vibrant colors and traditional goods. Enjoy the special atmosphere and take a piece of Egypt home with you.

Immerse yourself in a day full of freedom and design your stay in Aswan according to your ideas. There is the opportunity to take part in a fascinating excursion to Abu Simbel (not included in the price, bookable and payable on site).

We start early in the morning to experience the breathtaking sunrise in the desert. Abu Simbel is located about 280 kilometers south of Aswan on the shores of Lake Nasser. The rock temple of Ramses II, which was once saved from the floods and rebuilt, is an impressive testimony to ancient Egyptian civilization and is undoubtedly a highlight of any trip to the Nile. The majestic, colossal statues rising into the sky give the magnificent temple complex a unique aura. The Hathor Temple is no less fascinating and invites you to an unforgettable exploration.

After your return from this extraordinary excursion, you will spend the night on board your ship again, where you will have time to reflect on the fascinating experiences of the day. Be enchanted by the magic and enchantment of Egypt and enjoy the comfort and amenities of your ship as you relax on the waves of the Nile.

To the left and right of the river there is a picturesque backdrop that will captivate you and give you unforgettable impressions. Enjoy the comfort and amenities as the gentle waves of the Nile continue to accompany you. Let yourself be enchanted by the romantic atmosphere on the ship and immerse yourself in a world full of history, culture and unforgettable experiences.

The magnificent complex of Karnak, located just three kilometers north of Luxor on the banks of the Nile, is a breathtaking architectural masterpiece and, at 40 hectares, is one of the largest sacred buildings in the world. The impressive colonnades, obelisks and pylons form a fascinating kaleidoscope of art history over 2,000 years.

The Temple of Luxor, in the middle of the city on the waterfront, was built by Amenhotep III. and Ramses II in honor of the deities Amun, Mut and Chons. Even in ruins, these impressive remains bear witness to the temple's former splendor. After the visit, you will have free time to let the magic of the place work its magic on you.

In the evening you have the option to experience the light and sound show in the Karnak Temple - a sensory experience in the midst of a unique cultural and historical backdrop. Today is your last overnight stay on your ship before your unforgettable journey comes to an end.

After disembarking, you will be transferred to the airport for your return flight or the bus transfer to your booked hotel on the Red Sea. If you have planned a stay in Hurghada, you can take a domestic flight from Luxor to Hurghada or we can organize abus for you. We hope you have made unforgettable memories and wish you a safe flight home!
