Overview
No trip to Egypt would be complete without a cruise on the Nile, the most memorable experience during a holiday to this beautiful country. This 3-day cruise leaves from Aswan and arrives in Luxor, the ancient capital of Thebes.
Itinerary
On the first day, we'll pick you up at the Aswan airport whenever you land. We can also pick you up from your hotel or the train station. From there, we'll take you in an air-conditioned vehicle to the motonave what the Nile riverboats are called and where your cruise begins.
After you've settled into your cabin, we'll meet up again to visit the Philae Temple. Located on an island and dedicated to the goddess Isis, this temple actually spent decades underwater due to the old Aswan Dam.
Afterward, we'll take you to a perfumery to learn how their fragrances are made. It’s the perfect welcome!
After breakfast, anyone who's up for it can take a trip to the Abu Simbel temples, which we think is a total must-do while you're in Aswan.
Once we're back on the ship, we'll have lunch and start sailing down the Nile, reaching the Kom Ombo Temple right at sunset, a view you won't forget. After visiting the temple, we'll keep sailing toward Edfu, where we'll dock for dinner and stay the night.
Once you've had breakfast and recharged your batteries, we'll hop off the boat for a horse-drawn carriage ride through Edfu and explore its temple, which is dedicated to the god Horus.
The cruise then continues toward the Esna lock, which works like an elevator for boats to handle a 10-meter drop in the river level.
As soon as we reach the majestic city of Luxor, we'll go see two of the most spectacular temples in Egypt: the Luxor Temple and the Karnak Temple. Did you know they used to be connected by the 3-kilometer-long Avenue of the Sphinxes?
We'll have dinner and spend the night docked in Luxor.
Important: the tour of Edfu is by horse-drawn carriage. If you want another type of transport, like a car or bus, you'll need to tell the guide the day before.
Having eaten and checked out, around 6 am we'll hit the road towards the giant necropoles nearby. We'll visit the Valley of the Kings (taking a look inside three of the tombs) the Hatshepsut Temple (dedicated to the only woman to rule over Egypt for an extended period of time) and the Colossi of Memnon. To complete the tour, we'll visit a stone, sculpture and alabaster store to discover the local craftsmanship.
The tour then finishes at around 4:30 pm, then we'll take you to the Luxor airport, the train station, or whichever point in the city you would like.
