Luxor Esna
Breakfast, then off to the necropolis of Thebes on the west bank of the Nile, with a visit to the... more+ Valley of the Kings, home to the tombs of many New Kingdom pharaohs, as well as their families and nobles in their favor. The tour continues with the Colossi of Memnon, the last vestiges of the temple of Amenhotep III, 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. We then head for the southern part of ancient Thebes, on the east bank of the Nile, with a visit to Karnak temple. Return to the boat for lunch. In the afternoon, we set sail for 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 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.

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 tallest obelisk known to date (41.75m), 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. Night on board.

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.
