Breakfast on board, then start of visits to the southern part of ancient Thebes, where the temples... see+ of Karnak and Luxor are located. The two temples are connected by a dromos, a long avenue lined with sphinxes, and are dedicated to Amun. The three-enclosure temple of Karnak is itself part of the Karnak religious complex, a group of ruins that includes other temples, buildings, and pylons. Its construction and subsequent modifications spanned more than 2,000 years. Return to the side of the boat for lunch. In the afternoon, visit Luxor Temple, built in the 14th century BC during the reign of Amenhotep III and later modified by Ramses II, who added six monumental statues and two obelisks.

Luxor Esna
Breakfast, then a visit to the necropolis of Thebes on the west bank of the Nile, followed by the... see+ 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.

Inside, the intact paintings, inscriptions, and reliefs make it the best-preserved temple in Egypt. Return to the boat and sail upriver to Kom Ombo. Visit to the Kom Ombo Temple, dedicated to the gods Sobek and Haroeris. Built on a hill by three Ptolemies, the temple is surrounded by a wall covered with reliefs.

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... see+ 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.
