4 Days of Ancient Wonders Itinerary:

• Day 1: Hurghada to Aswan & Embarkation: Your Nile adventure begins with a comfortable transfer from your hotel in Hurghada to Aswan, a vibrant city in southern Egypt. Upon arrival, you’ll board your luxurious Nile cruise ship, your home for the next three nights. After settling in and enjoying lunch onboard, we’ll set out to explore the captivating Philae Temple. This beautiful temple complex, dedicated to the goddess Isis, was moved to Agilkia Island after the construction of the Aswan High Dam. The temple’s intricate carvings and stunning setting on the Nile make it a truly unforgettable sight. In the evening, enjoy a delicious dinner onboard the ship, followed by traditional Egyptian entertainment.

• Day 2: Aswan & Kom Ombo: This morning, we’ll set sail towards Kom Ombo, home to a unique double temple. This fascinating structure is dedicated to two sets of deities: Sobek, the crocodile god, and Haroeris (Horus the Elder), the falcon-headed god. The temple’s symmetrical design and intricate reliefs offer a glimpse into the ancient Egyptians’ complex religious beliefs. After exploring Kom Ombo, we’ll return to the ship and continue sailing north towards Edfu. Relax on the sun deck, soak up the stunning views of the Nile River and the surrounding countryside, and enjoy the gentle breeze as we cruise.

• Day 3: Edfu & Luxor: Today, we visit the remarkably well-preserved Edfu Temple, dedicated to Horus. Considered one of the best-preserved ancient Egyptian temples, Edfu offers a fascinating insight into temple architecture and religious practices. Its massive pylons, intricate carvings, and impressive statues are a testament to the skill and artistry of the ancient Egyptians. After our visit to Edfu, we’ll continue sailing towards Luxor, the ancient city of Thebes. Upon arrival in Luxor, we’ll embark on a tour of the East Bank, starting with the magnificent Karnak Temple. This vast complex is the largest religious structure ever built, comprising temples, chapels, pylons, and other buildings dedicated to various gods and pharaohs. We’ll then visit the Luxor Temple, connected to Karnak by the Avenue of Sphinxes. This elegant temple, dedicated to the Theban Triad (Amun-Re, Mut, and Khonsu), is particularly stunning when illuminated at night.

• Day 4: Luxor & Disembarkation & Transfer to Hurghada: Our final day takes us to the West Bank of Luxor, a treasure trove of ancient wonders. We’ll begin with the Valley of the Kings, the final resting place of numerous pharaohs, including the famous boy-king Tutankhamun (entry to Tutankhamun’s tomb requires an extra ticket purchased on-site). The elaborately decorated tombs offer a glimpse into the ancient Egyptians’ beliefs about the afterlife. Next, we’ll visit the impressive Hatshepsut Temple, a unique architectural masterpiece dedicated to the female pharaoh Hatshepsut. Its terraced design and harmonious integration with the surrounding cliffs make it a truly remarkable sight. Finally, we’ll see the Colossi of Memnon, two massive stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III. After completing our West Bank tour, you will be transferred back to your hotel in Hurghada, bringing your unforgettable Nile River cruise to a close.
