Cairo
After breakfast at the hotel, departure for the Giza Plateau, the symbol of ancient Egypt. This... see+ majestic site is home to the famous pyramids: that of Cheops, the largest, erected around 2650 BC, the only survivor of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and for a long time the tallest man-made monument at 146 metres; that of Chephren, which appears more imposing despite being slightly lower, thanks to its slope and position on higher ground; and finally that of Mykerinos, more modest at 66 metres high. Opposite these stone giants stands the Sphinx, the mysterious guardian of the tombs, sculpted from a single block of stone, 73 metres long and 20 metres high, facing east to protect the pyramids from looters.
After this immersion in Pharaonic history, lunch is provided near the pyramids before continuing with a visit to Memphis and Saqqara. Memphis, once the capital of the Old Kingdom, remains today only in the form of a few scattered vestiges, statues and an alabaster sphinx. A few kilometres away, Saqqara reveals a vast necropolis, including the funerary complex of King Djeser and his Step Pyramid, the first architectural attempt at perfect pyramids.
At the end of the day, return to the hotel for dinner. Depending on flight times, the night will be spent at the hotel or on board the plane.

It honours Horus, the falcon-headed god and son of Isis and Osiris. The entrance is via an imposing pylon decorated with reliefs representing the king and the gods, giving access to a vast courtyard whose walls record the rites performed by the sovereign.

Kom Ombo Assouan
After breakfast on board, departure for the fascinating Ptolemaic temple of Kom Ombo, a unique site... see+ in ancient Egypt. Perched on a hill 15 metres above the Nile, this exceptional temple is distinguished by its dual dedication: to Haroeris (*Horus the Great* or *Horus the Ancient*), the falcon god, and to Sobek, the fearsome crocodile god. This duality is reflected throughout the temple's architecture, with two entrances, two parallel corridors and symmetrically organised rooms leading to a double sanctuary. In front of the entrance, sculpted columns still bear traces of their original colours, testifying to the splendour of the Ptolemaic period. To the right of the temple, the chapel of Hathor houses a number of crocodile mummies, a reminder of the importance of the cult of Sobek in the region.
Back on board, lunch is served as the cruise resumes towards Aswan. Take advantage of this navigation to admire the peaceful landscapes of the Nile. In the evening, dinner and overnight on board, in the spellbinding atmosphere of the sacred river.

The Great Temple, dedicated to the god Amun-Ra, impresses with its immense colossi of Ramses II, the most imposing in Egypt, carved right into the cliff. Nearby, the Temple of Hathor, dedicated to Queen Nefertari, completes this architectural marvel of antiquity.

This sanctuary, entirely dedicated to the goddess Isis, was saved from the waters after the construction of the Aswan High Dam in the 1960s. Thanks to a major UNESCO project, the monuments on the ancient island of Philae were dismantled stone by stone and rebuilt 400 metres downstream. This Ptolemaic temple has retained its Naos, the stone tabernacle that once housed the statue of the deity.
After this fascinating visit, a stop at a jeweller's gives you the chance to discover Egyptian craftsmanship, where gold, silver and semi-precious stones such as lapis lazuli are worked into magnificent jewellery inspired by ancient symbols: scarabs, Ankhs, cartouches and the eye of Horus.

The day is devoted to discovering one of the greatest sanctuaries dedicated to Amun-Ra, master of the gods and Lord of the Theban triad: the temple of Karnak. This grandiose site, built over more than 2,000 years, is the most impressive religious complex of antiquity. From Sethi I to Ramses II, via Thutmose III and Ramses III, the greatest rulers left their mark here. Its name, *Karnak* (*fortress*), dates back to Islamic times, but its sacred essence dates back to the dawn of Pharaonic history.
After this visit, stop off at an alabaster sculpture workshop. A precious stone in the eyes of the ancient Egyptians, alabaster was used to make vases for ointments, canopic vases and even translucent windows in temples. Here you can discover the secrets of this age-old craft.
For history buffs, there is an optional excursion to Luxor Temple, dedicated to Amun-Ra and a witness to the splendours of Antiquity. Built under Amenhetep III and Ramses II, it hosted the annual divine procession from Karnak to Luxor to celebrate the union of Amun and his wife Mut. Two monumental obelisks adorned its entrance, one of which was donated to France in 1831 and now stands on the Place de la Concorde in Paris.
Back on board, lunch is served before a free afternoon to relax and enjoy the ship. The day ends with dinner and overnight on board.
