Morning tour to the beautiful city of Aswan

Your first stop is the Aswan High Dam, an engineering marvel completed in the 1960s. The dam, which controls the flow of the Nile River and generates hydroelectric power, is a vital part of Egypt's infrastructure. As you stand on the dam, take in the impressive views of Lake Nasser on one side and the Nile River on the other.

Next, proceed to the Temple of Philae, one of the most beautiful temples in Egypt, dedicated to the goddess Isis. The temple complex was relocated to Agilkia Island to save it from the rising waters of the Nile after the construction of the Aswan High Dam. Take a short, scenic boat ride to the island, where you’ll be greeted by the majestic sight of the temple rising from the water.

After doing the tours of Aswan, you will be transferred to the Dahabiya for Embarkation & Check in.

Sail to Kom Ombo & afternoon tour of Kom Ombu Temple

After Embarkation, sail in the early afternoon towards Kom Ombo. Enjoy the scenic views of the Nile River as you glide along its tranquil waters.

Disembark from your Dahabiya upon arrival at Kom Ombo. The temple is conveniently located near the riverbank, making for an easy and pleasant walk to the site.

Visit the unique Temple of Kom Ombo, dedicated to two gods: Sobek, the crocodile god, and Horus the Elder, the falcon-headed god. This symmetrical temple features twin entrances, halls, and sanctuaries for each deity.

After your exploration, return to your Dahabiya for a well-deserved rest. Reflect on the day's discoveries as you relax on board and enjoy a delicious dinner prepared by the onboard chef.

Your guided tour will take you through the vast quarries and caves, where you can see the marks left by ancient workers. Gebel El Selsela was not only a quarry but also a place of religious significance, with shrines and chapels cut into the rock. The cliffside tombs of New Kingdom officials are another highlight of the site. You’ll have the chance to walk among the ancient carvings and take in stunning views of the Nile below.

Tour the Temple of Karnak & Temple of Luxor

Meet your EGYPTOLOGIST PROFESSIONAL Tour guide to explore the East bank of Luxor. The Luxor and Karnak Temples are two of the most impressive ancient sites in Egypt. Located on the east bank of the Nile, they were once part of the ancient city of Thebes, the vast city known to the ancient Egyptians as Waset and to the Greeks as Thebes.

Luxor Temple, unlike other temples, was not dedicated to a god or a deified version of the king in death. Instead, Luxor temple is dedicated to the rejuvenation of kingship; it may have been where many of the pharaohs of Egypt were crowned.
Karnak Temple Complex is a vast open-air museum and the largest ancient religious site in the world. It is believed to be the second most visited historical site in Egypt, second only to the Giza Pyramids near Cairo. The key difference between Karnak and most of the other temples and sites in Egypt is the length of time over which it was developed and used. Construction work began in the 16th century BC. Approximately 30 pharaohs contributed to the buildings, enabling it to reach a size, complexity, and diversity not seen elsewhere.
