Tourenplan
YourTourGuide will pick you up to embark Nile Cruise. You will be transferred to your Nile cruise boat, which will be your home for the next four nights. You can relax on the boat or explore the town.
Later, visit:
The Karnak Temples:
No site in Egypt is more impressive than Karnak Temples, where generations of pharaohs wished to record their names. Walk through the Great Hypostyle Hall, to reach the sacred lake of the temple, The Karnak complex is actually three main temples situated on 247 acres of land considered as the largest religious center ever built.
Luxor Temple:
The temple has been in almost continuous use as a place of worship right up to the present day. During the Christian era, the temple’s hypostyle hall was converted into a Christian church, and the remains of another Coptic church can be seen to the west. Then for thousands of years, the temple was buried beneath the streets and houses of Luxor. Eventually the mosque of Sufi Shaykh Yusuf Abu al-Hajjaj was built over it. This mosque was carefully preserved when the temple was uncovered and forms an integral part of the site today.
For the rest of the Day you will be free to relax, shop in the bazaar (open until quite late) or perhaps experience the atmosphere of a local tea house.

Visit the famous burial ground of pharaohs from the 18th to 20th Dynasties. Over a span of 500 years, tombs were constructed here for rulers including Pharaoh Ramses II and the boy king Tutankhamun. Discovered in 1922 by British archaeologist Howard Carter, this valley remains one of Egypt’s most significant archaeological sites.
The Temple of Hatshepsut:
Explore the mortuary temple of Hatshepsut, Egypt’s first female pharaoh. She ascended the throne during the New Kingdom following the death of her father, Thutmose I, and her half-brother/husband Thutmose II.
The Colossi of Memnon:

Edfu Temple:
Dedicated to Horus, the falcon-headed god, Edfu Temple is one of the best-preserved ancient sites in Egypt. Construction began under Ptolemy III around 237 BC and was completed during the reign of Ptolemy IV. Marvel at the temple’s monumental pylons, intricate hieroglyphs, and sacred reliefs that recount the myths of Horus and his battles with Seth.
Return to your cruise and relax on the sundeck as you sail upriver. Enjoy scenic views of lush riverbanks, desert hills, local fishermen casting nets, and farmers tending the fields along the Nile.
Next, arrive at:
Kom Ombo Temple:
Constructed during the Greco-Roman period (205–180 BC) under Ptolemy V on the site of an older temple called “Ber-Sobek” (House of Sobek), this unique temple is dedicated to both Sobek, the crocodile god, and Horus the Elder. The temple is symmetrically divided into two sections, featuring dual entrances, hypostyle halls, and sanctuaries, each devoted to its respective deity.
After exploration, return to your cruise and continue your journey towards Aswan.
🍽️ Dinner & Overnight on board the Nile Cruise.
After breakfast, join YourTourGuide for a private tour of Aswan’s most iconic landmarks:
The High Dam of Aswan:
A modern marvel of engineering, the Aswan High Dam was built in the 1960s and remains one of Egypt’s most significant achievements. The dam provides water and electricity while protecting Egypt from the destructive floods of the Nile, symbolizing the nation’s modern era and post-1952 Revolution progress.
The Unfinished Obelisk:
Discovered in its original granite quarry, the Unfinished Obelisk is the largest known obelisk ever started in ancient Egypt. Commissioned during the reign of Pharaoh Hatshepsut (1478–1458 BC), it offers insight into ancient stone-carving techniques and the scale of monumental construction in the New Kingdom.
Philae Temple:
Dedicated to the goddess Isis, Philae Temple was originally located on Philae Island, a rocky isle in the middle of the Nile. After the construction of the High Dam, the temple was carefully relocated to Agilika Island to preserve its structure.
