About This Activity

Embark on an unforgettable 4-day adventure along the legendary Nile River, beginning with a flight from Cairo to Aswan. Your journey starts with a visit to the iconic High Dam, a marvel of modern engineering, and the enchanting Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis and steeped in mythological significance. After exploring Aswan’s wonders, board your 5-star cruise ship, where you’ll enjoy a relaxing evening with exquisite meals and stunning views of the Nile.

On the second day, wake up to the serene beauty of the river as the cruise sails toward Kom Ombo. Explore the unique double temple of Sobek and Horus, dedicated to two deities and rich in ancient symbolism. For an even more remarkable experience, opt for a visit to the Abu Simbel Temples, renowned for their massive rock carvings and cultural significance. As the day draws to a close, savor the picturesque sunset as you cruise toward Edfu, enjoying the luxurious amenities onboard.

The third day begins with an enchanting horse-drawn carriage ride to the Temple of Horus in Edfu, one of the best-preserved temples of ancient Egypt. Wander through its grand halls and admire the intricate hieroglyphics that recount fascinating tales from the past. As your cruise continues toward Luxor, take time to relax on the sundeck, indulge in gourmet cuisine, or participate in one of the cruise’s engaging evening activities.

Your final day starts with the magical option of a sunrise hot-air balloon ride over Luxor, offering breathtaking views of the ancient city and its surrounding landscapes. After breakfast, delve into the treasures of Luxor with visits to the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut, and the towering Colossi of Memnon.
