Itineraries

Upon arrival in Aswan, you will be welcomed by our representative and transferred to your Lake Nasser cruise for embarkation and check-in. Lunch will be served on board as you settle into your journey.

In the afternoon, begin exploring the highlights of Aswan with your Egyptologist guide.

Start with the impressive High Dam, a modern engineering landmark built under President Gamal Abdel Nasser in 1960 to protect Egypt from the Nile’s flooding.

Then, enjoy a scenic motorboat ride to Agilkia Island to visit the beautiful Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis. This Greco-Roman temple complex was carefully relocated to preserve it from the rising waters.

Continue to the Unfinished Obelisk, located in the ancient granite quarries. This massive structure offers a fascinating insight into the techniques used by ancient Egyptians to carve monumental stone.

Return to the cruise for dinner and overnight on board.

Meals: Lunch, Dinner

After breakfast, visit the remarkable Kalabsha Temple, located near the High Dam. Built during the late Ptolemaic period and completed under the Roman Emperor Augustus, the temple reflects a unique blend of Egyptian and Roman artistic traditions and is dedicated to the Nubian god Mandulis.

Next, explore Beit El Wali, a rock-cut temple rescued from Lake Nasser. Its carved walls illustrate scenes of military victories and religious rituals, offering valuable insight into ancient Egyptian life.

Return to the cruise for lunch as the ship begins sailing towards Wadi El Seboua, crossing the symbolic Tropic of Cancer.

Enjoy a relaxing afternoon on board surrounded by the vast desert and calm waters.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

After breakfast, visit Wadi El Seboua, meaning “Valley of the Lions,” named after its impressive avenue of sphinxes leading to the temple of Ramesses II.

The site also includes the Temple of Dakka and other important structures, forming a rich archaeological complex surrounded by the silence of the desert.

Return to the cruise for lunch while sailing onward to Amada.

Later, visit the Temple of Amada, the oldest monument in the Lake Nasser region. Dating back to the 18th Dynasty, it predates Abu Simbel and reflects the refined artistic style of early New Kingdom Egypt, later enhanced by Ramesses II and his son Merenptah.

Dinner and overnight on board.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Early in the morning, sail towards Kasr Ibrim, the only ancient site still in its original location. From the sun deck, you will enjoy a panoramic view of this historic fortress, once a powerful city overlooking the Nile.

Continue sailing to the highlight of the journey: the magnificent Abu Simbel Temples.

Carved into the mountainside by Pharaoh Ramesses II, these temples are among the most iconic monuments in the world. They were relocated in the 1960s as part of an international effort to protect them from flooding caused by the High Dam.

Optional in the evening, attend the Sound and Light Show at Abu Simbel, where the temples are illuminated and their history is brought to life through music and storytelling.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Enjoy your final breakfast on board before check-out. After disembarkation, you will be transferred to the airport for your return flight to Cairo.
