In the morning, you’ll meet your tour guide, who will accompany you as you embark on your 7-night Nile cruise from Luxor to explore the historical attractions on the East Bank.

Karnak Temple

The Karnak Temple Complex is a breathtaking testament to ancient architecture and artistry, historically known as pet-isu or “The Most Select of Places” during the Middle Kingdom, and referred to as Pr-Imn or “House of Amon.” Established between 2000 BC and 30 BC, this expansive site spans 247 acres of sacred Theban land and was built to honor the Theban triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. Notable highlights include the Precinct of Amun-Re, the grand Hypostyle Hall, and the enchanting Avenue of Sphinxes, which connects to the magnificent Luxor Temple.

After your visit, you will check in to your 5-star Nile cruise for lunch and some time to relax. In the evening, we will pick you up for an exciting experience:

Luxor Temple

The enchanting Southern Sanctuary of Luxor Temple, often referred to as the “Creator of Kings,” was constructed around 1400 BC, primarily by Amenhotep III and Ramses II. This magnificent temple honors the Theban triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu, and serves as the venue for the Opet Festival, which celebrates the rejuvenation of kingship and the connection between royal lineage and divine power.

Philae Temple

The legendary Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis, who represents beauty and motherhood, preserves the timeless “Myth of Osiris.” Originally constructed between 380 and 362 BC by King Ptolemy II, the temple was relocated to Agilkia Island in the 1970s as part of UNESCO’s Nubia Campaign, which aimed to protect it from the rising waters caused by the construction of the Aswan High Dam.

These temples honor the gods Amun, Ra, and Ptah, as well as commemorate his military victory at the Battle of Kadesh. The renowned temple of King Ramses II continues to host the extraordinary Sun Festival each year on October 22 and February 22.

Kom Ombo Temple

The double temples of Kom Ombo, known as the “Hill of Gold,” were constructed between 205 and 180 BC during the reign of King Ptolemy V of the Ptolemaic dynasty. These temples served as the worship site for Haroeris, or “Horus the Elder,” on the northern side, and Sobek, the crocodile god of the Nile, on the southern side.
