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, as well as their families and nobles in waiting. The tour continues with the Colossi of Memnon, the last remains of the temple of Amenhotep III, and Deir el Bahari, the funerary temple of Queen Hatshepsut. Carved out of the rock in the Thebes mountain, this three-tiered temple built in 1455 is both harmonious and modern, and although it is 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 to be "the first great woman whose name has been preserved in history". Return to the boat for lunch. Free afternoon on the boat in Luxor. Dinner and overnight on board. In the evening, optional sound and light show at Karnak temple.

Luxor Esna
Early in the morning, after breakfast, visit the southern part of ancient Thebes with the temples... more+ of Karnak and Luxor. The two temples are linked by a dromos, a long walkway lined with sphinxes, and are dedicated to Amun. The three-enclosure temple at Karnak is itself part of the religious complex at Karnak, which includes the ruins of other temples, buildings and pylons. It was built and modified over a period of more than 2,000 years. Luxor Temple, built 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, return to the boat for lunch and sail to Esna. The lock crossing will take place at the end of the day, and will be marked by a fancy dress "Galabia Party" with dinner and overnight on board.

Esna Edfu Kom Ombo
After breakfast on board, the cruise continues to Edfu. On arrival, enjoy a horse-drawn carriage... more+ 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, the intact paintings, inscriptions and reliefs make it the best-preserved temple in Egypt. Return to the boat and sail upstream to Kom Ombo. Lunch on board, followed by a visit to the temple of Kom Ombo, dedicated to the gods Sobek and Haroeris. It was built 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 part is dedicated to Haroeris, the hawk-headed god, and the southern part to Sobek, the crocodile god. Return to the boat and sail to Aswan. Dinner and overnight.

Kom Ombo Aswan
After breakfast, departure to visit the Temple of Isis on the island of Philae. Begun by Pharaoh... more+ Nectanebo I during Dynasty 30 and completed by the Romans, this is the main sanctuary dedicated to Isis. After Philae, the 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 will find the largest obelisk known to date (41.75m), which was abandoned due to a crack in the rock. Return to the boat for lunch, followed by a felucca trip around Elephantine Island, once used as a fortress. In the evening, optional sound and light show at the temple of Philae. Dinner and overnight on board.
