Luxor
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, and although dedicated to the god Amun, it also contains 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”. Lunch, dinner and overnight on the boat. In the evening, optional sound and light show at Karnak temple.

Luxor Esna
Early morning, after breakfast, visit the southern part of ancient Thebes, with the temples of... more+ 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. After the visits, we return to the boat, have 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
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, and sail upstream 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 in 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. Lunch, dinner and overnight on board.

Kom Ombo Aswan
Breakfast and arrival in Aswan for a felucca trip around Elephantine Island, once a fortress, and a... more+ visit to the local shops, before setting off to visit the Temple of Isis on Philae Island. Begun by Pharaoh Nectanebo I during the 30th dynasty and completed by the Romans, this is the main sanctuary dedicated to Isis. Visit continues with 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 (41.75m), which was abandoned due to a crack in the rock. Dinner and overnight on board. Optional sound and light show at the Temple of Philae.

Unfinished obelisk
The Unfinished Obelisk of Aswan is an impressive remnant located in an ancient granite quarry in Upper Egypt. Commissioned during the reign of Queen Hatshepsut, it was intended to be the largest obelisk ever constructed, reaching about 42 meters in height and... more+ weighing an estimated 1,200 tons. However, a crack that appeared during the carving process halted the work, leaving the monument incomplete and still attached to the bedrock.
Today, the site provides a unique insight into the working methods of ancient Egyptian stonecutters. Visitors can observe extraction techniques, tool marks, and the monumental logistics involved in creating such structures.
