4-Day Nile River Cruise from Aswan to Luxor

Start your morning sailing north along the Nile toward the riverside town of Kom Ombo. Step ashore to explore the remarkable Kom Ombo Temple, uniquely dedicated to two deities—Sobek, the crocodile god, and Horus the Elder, the falcon-headed god. The temple’s dual design reflects its twin dedication, with mirrored halls and sanctuaries—something rarely seen in ancient Egyptian architecture.

Back on board, enjoy lunch as the cruise continues to Edfu, home to one of Egypt’s best-preserved temples. Take a short carriage ride or bus to the magnificent Temple of Horus, where towering columns and intricate carvings offer a vivid picture of ancient ceremonial life.

Return to your floating hotel and continue sailing toward Luxor, relaxing on the sun deck as the Nile's timeless scenery unfolds around you.

After a hearty breakfast onboard, get ready for a full day of exploring Luxor, often called the world’s greatest open-air museum. Your journey begins on the West Bank, where ancient tombs and royal secrets await. Walk through the legendary Valley of the Kings, the burial site of pharaohs including Tutankhamun. Then, admire the striking cliffside architecture of the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, one of Egypt’s most powerful female rulers. On your way back, stop for photos at the iconic Colossi of Memnon, two massive statues standing guard over the Theban necropolis.

In the afternoon, cross to the East Bank to visit two of ancient Egypt’s most celebrated temples. Wander through the vast Karnak Temple Complex, a forest of giant columns and sacred shrines. Then, continue to the elegant Luxor Temple, beautifully lit in the late afternoon sun.

🌙 Optional Night Activity: Experience the Sound & Light Show at Karnak Temple (additional $45 USD per person) and see history come alive through sound, narration, and dramatic lighting.
