Luxury 8-Days, 7-Nights Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan

The tombs of the great Pharaoh Ramses II and the young Tutankhamen can be found there. It is the ultimate resting place of Egypt's monarchs from the 18th to the 20th dynasty. All the material possessions a monarch would require in the afterlife were abundantly available within the tombs. The majority of the interior tomb decorations are still in good condition. Of all the temples in ancient Egypt, the Hatshepsut Temple is among the most exquisite and well-preserved. The temple was constructed on three levels, which were connected by two broad ramps that ran through the middle. The only remnants of a fully functional mortuary temple are two enormous stone statues of King Amenhotep III known as the Colossi of Memnon. The blocks used to create these statues were transported 700 kilometers to Luxor from slabs of quartzite sandstone that were originally in Cairo. Set sail for Edfu and Esna. Spend the night at Edfu.
Meals included: breakfast, lunch and dinner.

After breakfast, join your tour guide to visit Edfu Temple. Edfu Temple is considered the most preserved Greco-Roman temple all over Egypt, and on its walls, a “play” shows the triumph of Horus over the devil god Seth. Then sail to Kom Ombo to visit Kom Ombo Temple, a temple overlooking the Nile. This temple is divided into 2 temples with 2 entrances, 2 hypostyle halls, and 2 sanctuaries. Overnight in Aswan (late-night arrival).

Meals included: breakfast, lunch and dinner.

The High Dam Built across the Nile at Aswan. The High Dam was constructed between 1960 and 1970 and has had a significant effect on the economy and culture of Egypt. The Unfinished Obelisk: The largest known ancient obelisk. It was ordered by Hatshepsut (1508–1458 BC), possibly to complement the Lateran Obelisk, which was originally at Karnak and was later brought to the Lateran Palace in Rome. The Philae temple is dedicated to the goddess Isis, of love and beauty. The temple complex was relocated to nearby Agilkia Island as part of the UNESCO Nubia Campaign project, protecting this and other complexes before the 1970 completion of the Aswan High Dam. Overnight on board the cruise.

Meals included: breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Early morning, breakfast boxes, then join your private tour guide to enjoy a private guided tour to Abu Simbel Temples: The two temples of Abu Simbel, with their unique styles, are considered to be the masterpieces of ancient Egypt. The temples are rock-cut structures, both built during the reign of King Ramses II in 1200 B.C. One temple is dedicated to King Ramses II, and the other temple is dedicated to his beloved wife, Queen Nefertari. The carvings and artwork that decorate both temples are incredible. Hand-carved pillars, wall paintings, carvings, statues, and much more—this is a must-visit temple. Return back to your cruise and sail after lunch.
