Luxor
Breakfast on board, followed by a tour of 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. Lunch, 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 is both harmonious and modern, and although dedicated to the god Amun, it also features chapels to Anubis and Hathor, the patron goddess of women: hardly 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 the visits, we 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.

Esna Edfu Kom Ombo Aswan
After breakfast on board, sailing continues to Edfu. On arrival, you'll enjoy a horse-drawn... more+ carriage excursion to the temple of Edfu, further inland. This temple to the falcon god Horus is both the largest temple of the Ptolemaic dynasty and the second largest sanctuary in Egypt after Karnak. Inside, intact paintings, inscriptions and reliefs make it the best-preserved temple in Egypt. Return to the boat for lunch, then upriver to Kom Ombo. Visit the temple of Kom-Ombo, dedicated to the gods Sobek and Haroeris. Erected on a hill by three Ptolemies, the temple is surrounded by an enclosing wall covered with reliefs. Inside, the space is divided into two parts: the northern one dedicated to Haroeris, the hawk-headed god, and the southern one to Sobek, the crocodile god. Return to the boat and sail to Aswan. Dinner and overnight on board.

Aswan Marsa Alam
Breakfast on board, followed by a visit to the Temple of Isis on the island of Philae. Begun by... more+ Pharaoh Nectanebo I during Dynasty 30 and completed by the Romans, this is the main sanctuary dedicated to Isis. 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 largest obelisk known to date (41.75m), which was abandoned due to a crack in the rock. Lunch and departure by coach for Marsa Alam.

The Museum houses 120,000 antiquities, including the treasures of Tutankhamun's tomb and most of the mummies discovered. Lunch in town, followed by a tour of Islamic Cairo, with its thousand minarets, citadel and Mohamed Ali Mosque. The mosque, built between 1830 and 1848, is largely inspired by traditional Ottoman architecture, imitating the great mosques of Istanbul, and today dominates the southern quarter. Several buildings dating from the Mamluk era were demolished to make way for the mosque. Return to the hotel for a rest before heading to the souks of Khan el Khalili for dinner in a typical restaurant. After dinner, transfer to Cairo airport.
