Start your day with breakfast and a restful morning; you can join the Abu Simbel Temple "on your own charge."

It also gives you insight into ancient medical practices and beliefs, as the temple includes detailed carvings and inscriptions related to surgery, healing, and even early medical tools.

Visit also the nearby Crocodile Museum, which gives you a deeper understanding of ancient Egyptian religious beliefs and their connection to nature.

Return back to the Nile Cruise for a relaxing sailing towards Edfu, where you dock and spend your night.

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner.

Breakfast on board, and begin your day tour with the unique experience of riding a horse carriage to Edfu Temple, which offers a rare chance to see an ancient Egyptian temple almost exactly as it once was, where you explore the detailed carvings and hieroglyphics, the large courtyard surrounded by towering columns decorated with ancient scenes, and even more.

Transfer back to the Nile Cruise to continue your sailing north, arriving at Luxor.

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner.

After breakfast on board and check-out, begin your day tour in Luxor, visiting Thebes Necropolis on the west bank of Luxor, where you explore the Valley of the Kings, which  offers a unique opportunity to explore the hidden tombs of ancient kings—more than 60 tombs with colorful wall paintings and hieroglyphics showing scenes of the afterlife, gods, and the journey of the soul.

Head to the Hatshepsut Temple that stands out because of its distinctive architectural design and its historical importance. Unlike traditional temples, it is built into the cliffs of the Theban mountains, creating a breathtaking harmony between nature and architecture. Visiting it gives you insight into the life of a remarkable queen who ruled Egypt successfully for over 20 years.

Stop at the Colossi of Memnon, which are over 3,400 years old and once guarded the entrance to a grand mortuary temple built for the pharaoh Amenhotep III. Although the temple itself is mostly gone, the Colossi remain as a powerful reminder of its former glory and the scale of ancient Egyptian construction.

Relish a restful time with lunch at a local restaurant, and continue your day tour at the East Bank of Luxor, visiting the Karnak Temple, one of the largest and most impressive religious complexes ever built, gives you a deep understanding of the power, religion, and artistic achievement of ancient Egypt. It was the most important religious center in ancient Thebes and played a key role in major festivals, especially the famous Opet Festival.
