Description

This 4-day tour aboard the Semiramis III Nile Cruise gives you the opportunity to sail amid the lush banks of the Nile from Aswan to Luxor while the desert appears in the background where the monuments rise dramatically. 

In this guided tour, you arrive by air-conditioned vehicle to Aswan’s attractions, visiting Aswan High Dam (this 20th-century marvel), Philae Temple (the jewelry of ancient Egypt’s temples), and the Unfinished Obelisk (the historical quarry for the ancient Egyptians to uncover one of the ancient Egyptian architectural marvels).

Sail to Kom Ombo Temple (the only double-faced temple in history) and Edfu Temple (the most well-preserved temple in ancient Egypt), arriving at Karnak Temple (the largest religious complex in the world), the Valley of the Kings (where the powerful ancient Egyptian kings found their final rituals), and Hatshepsut with its non-repeatable facade, carved in the Deir El Bahri cliff rising into three terraces. Furthermore, explore the Colossi of Memnon, which are located near the largest mortuary temple in the Thebes Necropolis. 

During the journey, you entertain both peaceful sailing time and dazzling views you can relish on the cruise sundeck or even from the panoramic window in your private cabin, plus enjoy the swimming pool, sun lounges,  bar with cocktail drinks, restaurant for savoring the tastiest fresh-cooked meals, and other amenities, while the other entertainment is exploring ancient Egypt’s attractions with your Egyptologist.

Itinerary

Day 1: Explore Aswan High Dam, Philae Temple, and Unfinished Obelisk

Enjoy a Professional Pickup Time: 

Meet your Egyptologist at the agreed-upon time and location you selected in Aswan, then ride in the air-conditioned vehicle to Aswan High Dam.

Aswan High Dam - A visit lasts around 1 hour and 15 minutes

This dam is one of the 20th century's marvels, controlling the annual flooding of the Nile, providing water for agriculture, and generating hydroelectric power for millions of Egyptians, creating the largest global artificial lake in the world. You can enjoy the panoramic view of this lake, Nasser Lake, and the Nile while it runs through the desert.

Ride the AC vehicle, going ahead to Philae Port.

Philae Temple - A visit lasts around 1 hour and 30 minutes

Take a motorboat from Philae Port for a relaxing sailing, arriving at Aglika Island, where Philae Temple is located. It is rising like a dream from the waters of the Nile; take wonderful shots. Come close and wander through this site dedicated to the goddess Isis, which was the last active center of ancient Egyptian religion, where the worship of Isis continued even during Roman rule.

Sail back to Philae Port and ride the AC vehicle, going ahead to the Unfinished Obelisk.

Unfinished Obelisk - A visit lasts around 45 minutes

It stands as one of the most fascinating relics of ancient Egyptian craftsmanship, embracing the largest obelisk ever erected—standing at an astonishing 42 meters and weighing over 1,000 tons, dedicated to Hatshepsut. Uncover how Egyptians carved massive monuments directly out of solid bedrock — using only hand tools made of dolerite!

Ride the AC vehicle, going ahead to the Nile Cruise.

Nile Cruise Check-in: 

Relish the professional and friendly welcoming from Semiramis 3 Nile Cruise crew, and enjoy a fresh-cooked lunch meal made by the expert chefs on the cruise board.

The rest day is at your leisure; have a relaxing night with dinner. The Nile Cruise docks on Aswan Shore.

Meals Included:

  • Lunch.
  • Dinner.

Day 2: Visit Kom Ombo & Sail to Edfu

Relish your breakfast on the cruise deck amid the fabulous view of the Nile banks on the Aswan shore.

The Nile Cruise Sails to Kom Ombo: 

Experience the first time of the sailing, arriving at Kom Ombo; the Nile Cruise docks in front of the temple.

Kom Ombo Temple - A visit lasts around 1 hour and 30 minutes

It is the only double temple in history, dedicated equally to two gods: Sobek, the crocodile god of strength and fertility, and Horus the Elder, the falcon-headed god of protection; this design represents the freedom of worship and belief for ancient Egyptians. It is designed with two identical halves — two entrances, two halls, and two sanctuaries. Explore the Crocodile Mummies Museum inside as well.

Return back to the Nile Cruise.

The Nile Cruise Sails to Edfu

Entertain yourself with the restful sailing while having a delicious lunch meal, docking on the Edfu shore.

Enjoy your dinner meal, and have a relaxing night.

  • Breakfast.

Day 3: Visit Edfu Temple & Sail to Luxor

Enjoy your breakfast meal on the cruise deck, and then, with the accompaniment of your Egyptologist, start your day tour.

Edfu Temple - A visit lasts around 1 hour and 30 minutes

Take a horse carriage, enjoying this unique experience as you arrive at this temple. It is the best-preserved temple in all of Egypt. The temple is dedicated to Horus, the falcon-headed god of the sky and protection, providing an unparalleled glimpse into the religious life, mythologies, and architectural brilliance of ancient Egypt.

Arrive back at the Nile Cruise by horse carriage.

The Nile Cruise Sails to Luxor - Cross Esna Lock

Relish the relaxing sailing while having your tasty lunch meal. Experience the breathtaking journey through Esna Lock and reach Luxor.

Have a relaxing night amid the majestic shore of Thebes, Luxor now, and savor your dinner.

  • Breakfast.

  • Dinner.

Day 4: Visit Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, Colossi of Memnon, and Karnak Temple

Enjoy your breakfast on the cruise board, and check out. With your Egyptologist, ride the air-conditioned vehicle to start your Luxor day tour, arriving at Thebes Necropolis.

Valley of the Kings - A visit lasts around 2 hours

It is the royal necropolis of ancient Egypt’s most powerful rulers — including Tutankhamun, Ramses II, Seti I, and many others. You can visit up to three of the best tombs included on the main entrance ticket, like KV2 — Tomb of Ramses IV, KV6 — Tomb of Ramses IX,  KV8 — Tomb of Merenptah,  KV14 — Tomb of Tausert and Setnakht, KV11 — Tomb of Ramses III, and KV15 — Tomb of Seti II.

Other tombs, like Tutankhamun's, need an extra ticket (not included on the main entrance ticket and the tour charge, but we can help you in booking it).

Ride the AC vehicle, going ahead to Hatshepsut Temple.

 Hatshepsut Temple - A visit lasts around 1 hour and 30 minutes

This temple is nestled against the towering cliffs of Deir el-Bahari; the carved, unique, three-tiered colonnaded structure blends seamlessly with the surrounding cliffs, creating a harmonious design that blends the magnificent historical architecture and nature. Hatshepsut, the only female pharaoh in history, built it. This temple documents Hatshepsut's success story and preserves the secret of her right to rule ancient Egypt.

Ride the AC vehicle, going ahead to a local restaurant.

Lunchtime - It Takes around 1 hour

Savor a local Egyptian lunch meal that reflects a unique side of Egypt's culture.

Ride the AC vehicle, going ahead to Karnak Temple.

 Karnak Temple - A visit lasts around 2 hours

It is the largest religious complex ever built by man, covering more than 100 hectares, built over 2,000 years, dedicated primarily to the god Amun-Ra, but also honoring Mut, Khonsu, and other deities. Marvel at the Great Hypostyle Hall with more than 134 massive columns, some standing 21 meters tall, explore ancient obelisks, and see Sacred Inscriptions.

Ride the AC vehicle, going ahead to the drop-off point you select inside Luxor.

We went in the Safari and Paradise Island boat trip. Both were very well organised, great activities and the transfer made by driver was on time! I recommend especially the Paradise Island trip! The views on the island are amazing and the boat trip until there has such grest service on the boat (snorkeling, lunch, drinks).
(5/5)
A very beautiful experience which made our stay in Egypt unforgettable; Luxor with a caring guide and Cairo with Ismaël; a very cultured guide who listens to the happiness of customers. I would recommend this agency without hesitation
(5/5)
We had booked airport transfers from Hurgada airport to our resort in May 2022 and our experience was excellent. What sets this company apart was the responsive service we got through WhatsApp messaging. You may not be aware of this but meeting a taxi driver at airport is not so easy or obvious as the security personnel does not allow drivers in or even standing by the entrance. It all was resolved easily by WhatsApp communication. I cannot overstate how important is having a rapid response when something does not go as you would expect. Thank you Ashraf. I am aware this company does much more than airport transfers: while I did not use any during my stay, I wouldnot hesitate to recommend this organisation to plan for your excursion needsin Hurghada. Update April 2023: Used them again for this trip booking through Hoppa, same excellent service.

For a party of five a luxor trip was organized by Akram and his team. With the excellent guide Ashraf in Luxor they made it a unforgettable experience. Thank you for the good organisation of the trip.
(5/5)
We booked a tour with Golavita, Mr Akram was very quick to respond to our questions and checked in with us daily to see how the tour was going. Waleed, the tour guide, was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The bottles of water to keep us hydrated was also a very nice addition. The private transport was top class, modern air conditioned vehicles and friendly and helpful drivers.
(5/5)
We arranged the tour a few weeks in advance before arriving in Egypt. Akram presented us with a complete private tour program, starting in Hurghada, visiting Cairo, the Black and White deserts, Alexandria and finally returning to Hurghada. Everything run smoothly, from the different drivers, who picked us up and dropped us off, always punctual and safe (especially Hamada, 'Medo'!) to the guides, in particular Reeham in Cairo who was just outstanding and Ahmed in the desert tour who welcomed us in his home together with his family before taking us and preparing our dinner in the desert! The overnight stays were all planned in great detail. It was definitely an incredible experience during these 4 days! A huge thank you to Akram!
