Cruise Itinerary
Day One: Board the Cruise and Visit the Attractions in Aswan
Early in the morning, we’ll pick you up from your hotel to begin your tour, taking you to see some of Aswan’s most well-known tourist attractions, starting with:
High Dam of Aswan
At Aswan, a bridge over the Nile was constructed. Egypt’s economy and culture have greatly benefited from the construction of the Aswan High Dam, which took place between 1960 and 1970.
The Unfinished Obelisk
The largest ancient obelisk that is known. It may have been ordered by Queen Hatshepsut (1508 1458 BC) to accompany the Lateran Obelisk, which was initially at Karnak before being transported to the Lateran Palace in Rome.
Temple of Philae
Isis of Love and Beauty is the goddess of the Philae Temple. As part of the UNESCO Nubia Campaign initiative, the temple complex was deconstructed and transported to neighboring Agilkia Island, safeguarding it and other monuments before the Aswan High Dam was completed in 1970.
Following that, we’ll take you to the 5* Nile Cruise where you may enjoy lunch and the remainder of the day. Meals {L.D}

Karnak Temple
The Karnak temple is Egypt’s most spectacular structure. It is the biggest temple complex ever constructed by humans and marks the culmination of the labors of numerous pharaohs and generations of ancient builders. On 247 acres of land, the Temple of Karnak consists of three main temples, smaller enclosed temples, and other peripheral temples.
After lunch, return to your Nile cruise to unwind. We will take you up in the evening to enjoy:
Luxor Temple by Night
The most significant event, the festival of Opet, was centered at the Luxor Temple. The temple served as a location for the festival’s rites and was mostly constructed by Amenhotep III and Rameses II. The purpose of the event was to reconcile the ruler’s human side with his celestial role.
Returning to your ship to spend the night. Meals {B.L.D}
Visit Luxor West Bank Attractions on Day Five.

The Kings’ Valley
It is home to tombs for Ramses II and Tutankhamen. It is the ultimate resting place of Egypt’s kings from the 18th to the 20th dynasty. The tombs were well-stocked with everything a monarch may require in the afterlife. The majority of the interior décor of the tombs has been beautifully conserved.
Temple of Hatshepsut
of the most exquisite and well-preserved of all the Egyptian temples. The temple was constructed on three levels, with two large ramps connecting the floors in the center.
Memnon’s Colossi
