Luxor
Breakfast on board, followed by visits to the southern part of ancient Thebes, home to the temples... more+ of Karnak and Luxor. The two temples are linked by a *dromos*, a long alley lined with sphinxes, and are dedicated to Amun. The three-enclosure temple at Karnak is itself part of the Karnak religious complex, which includes the ruins of other temples, buildings and pylons. Its construction and subsequent modifications spanned more than 2,000 years.
Luxor Temple, erected in the 14th century BC during the reign of Amenhotep III, was also subsequently modified by Ramses II, who added six monumental statues and two obelisks.

Dinner and overnight on board.
In the evening, optional sound and light show at Karnak temple.

Luxor Esna
Breakfast, then a visit to the necropolis of Thebes on the west bank of the Nile, followed by the... more+ Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens, home to the tombs of many New Kingdom pharaohs, their families and nobles in favor.

The tour continues with the Colossi of Memnon, the last remains of Amenhotep III's temple, and Deir el-Bahari, the funerary temple of Queen Hatshepsut. Carved out of the rock in the Theban mountain, this three-tiered temple, built in -1455, is both harmonious and modern. Although dedicated to the god Amun, there are also chapels to Anubis and Hathor, the patron goddess of women. Not surprising, since Hatshepsut, one of the four pharaohs to have ruled Egypt, is considered “the first great woman whose name has been preserved in history”.

After sightseeing, return to the boat for lunch, and sail to Esna. The lock crossing takes place at the end of the day, and is marked by a “Galabia Party” with dinner and overnight on board.

Inside, intact paintings, inscriptions and reliefs make it the best-preserved temple in Egypt. Return to the boat and cruise upstream to Kom Ombo. Visit Kom Ombo temple, dedicated to the gods Sobek and Haroéris. Erected on a hill by three Ptolemies, the temple is surrounded by an enclosing wall covered in reliefs. Inside, the space is divided into two parts: the northern, dedicated to Haroeris, the hawk-headed god, and the southern, dedicated to Sobek, the crocodile god. Return to the boat and sail to Aswan.

Take a felucca trip around Elephantine Island and discover the local shops, before leaving for the High Dam and the unfinished obelisk. The Aswan region, rich in schist, alabaster and pink granite found only in this part of Egypt, provided the stone blocks for the pyramids, statues and colossi built by the pharaohs. In the granite quarry, you'll find the tallest obelisk known to date (41.75 m), which was abandoned due to a crack in the rock. Lunch and dinner on board. In the evening, optional sound and light show at the Temple of Philae.
