The temple dedicated to Isis received precise movement to save it from the flooding waters that Lake Nasser produced.

After enjoying a breakfast that prepares you for the day, sail the mighty Nile, and head towards the highland of Egyptian temples.

Kom ombo temple :

First on your hit list is the Kom Ombo Temple, a double temple that raises its heads to both Sobek, the crocodile god, and Horus, the god of the falcon, and it is very serene inside those symmetrical halls, admiring the detailed carvings that adorn the walls and seeing that ancient device for measuring the river levels, the Nilometer. 

Edfu temple :

Make your way to one of the most magnificent temples dedicated to Horus, called Edfu Temple, which is one of the most preserved temples in Egypt. You may discover some information about the Horus-Seth legend itself along the way.

At the Galabeya Party, you can enjoy traditional Egyptian attire and celebrate with an evening filled with genuine celebrations, dancing, and music.

Accommodation: Nile Cruise

(Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included.) 
 

After a beautiful breakfast, explore the treasures of Luxor by visiting the East Bank, which hosts some of the most stunningly beautiful monuments constructed in ancient Egypt. 

Karnak temple :

The first stop would be the Karnak Temple; the largest religious complex ever built was dedicated to Amun-Ra. Stroll through Hypostyle Hall, viewing the 134 columns towering high overhead, each covered in bas-reliefs and hieroglyphs related to pharaonic might and devotion. Then come the soaring obelisks, a sacred lake, and numerous beautifully detailed hieroglyphs, which remain only as slips from a strange, majestic, and ancient world.

Luxor Temple:

Finally, visit the magnificent Luxor Temple, an imprint of the genius of the Egyptian architect, right in the heart of the city. The temple had been used as a location for royal ceremonies and religious processions because it was primarily constructed by Amenhotep III and Ramses II. See those magnificent statues, enter the colonnades in all their splendor, and take in the Avenue of Sphinxes. This old connecting road is now only skeletal, but it once led to the magnificent Karnak Temple in a haughty celebration of strength and divinity.

After your exploration experience on the Luxor tour, return to the cruise and relax as your journey moves forward

Valley of the kings :

Begin in the Valley of the Kings, burial ground of Egypt's most important pharaohs: Tutankhamun, Ramses II, and Seti I. Explore the luxuriously furnished tombs, where the walls are adorned with rich hieroglyphics and scenes from the Book of the Dead, which were believed to lead the dead pharaoh to the afterlife.   

Hatshepsut temple :

Then comes the magnificent Hatshepsut Temple, a terraced wonder that rests at the foot of the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari. This architectural masterpiece is claimed to have been built for Queen Hatshepsut, one of the few female Egyptian pharaohs; it tells of the glorious reign and vision of a woman for whom this temple was raised. From its elevated platforms, take in the breathtaking views of the desert and imagine the spectacle of ancient ceremonies that took place here.  

Colossi of memnon :

A last visit takes you to Colossi of Memnon: two towering statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III built 3,400 years ago, that once greeted visitors to his monumental mortuary temple. 

After an unforgettable day of discovery, transfer to Luxor Station to board your sleeper train back to Cairo, where your adventure will continue.
