The afternoon and evening are set aside for you to relax, watch the scenery, or take in Aswan’s vibrant markets and Nubian hospitality at your own pace. Optional: Visit a Nubian Village for colorful local culture and traditions.

Set sail along the Nile, pausing first at the Temple of Kom Ombo, notable for its double dedication to Sobek and Horus and its display of crocodile mummies. Continue north to Edfu, where a horse-drawn carriage awaits to transport you to the remarkably preserved Temple of Horus, filled with intricate carvings and impressive pylons. After exploring, return to your cruise for dinner and an evening on the gentle river, soaking in the quiet beauty of the Nile by night.

Today your guide leads you across the Nile to Luxor’s West Bank, where the tombs of the Valley of the Kings await. Walk through ancient passageways, with the option to enter the tomb of Tutankhamun for a glimpse of royal burial rites. Next, view the terraced Temple of Hatshepsut, striking against the cliffs, and pause for photos at the imposing Colossi of Memnon. Return to your cruise for lunch and a relaxing afternoon as the ship glides toward Luxor.

Disembark after breakfast and explore Luxor’s East Bank. Wander through the immense Karnak Temple Complex, renowned for its soaring columns and ancient sanctuaries, and stroll the Avenue of Sphinxes to reach Luxor Temple, where pharaohs once celebrated their rule. Afterwards, a private vehicle whisks you to Hurghada on the Red Sea coast. Settle into your resort for a relaxing evening by the water.
