Embark on an unforgettable journey through Upper Egypt and the timeless wonders of Lake Nasser with Deluxe Tours Egypt aboard the elegant Steigenberger Omar El Khayam Lake Cruise.
This journey is not just a cruise—it is a passage through ancient history, where colossal temples, sacred sites, and desert landscapes tell the story of one of the world’s greatest civilizations.
Sailing across the calm waters of Lake Nasser, you will explore masterpieces of ancient Egyptian and Nubian heritage, carefully relocated to protect them from the rising waters of the High Dam. Each destination reveals a unique layer of history, blending Pharaonic power, Roman influence, and Nubian culture into one unforgettable experience.
From Aswan to Abu Simbel, every day unfolds like a living story carved in stone, offering a rare combination of luxury, exploration, and cultural discovery.
Upon arrival in Aswan, you will be met by our representative and transferred to your Lake Nasser cruise for embarkation and check-in. Lunch will be served on board while you settle into your floating hotel.
In the afternoon, begin your exploration of Aswan with your Egyptologist guide.
First visit: the High Dam, one of Egypt’s greatest modern engineering achievements, built under President Gamal Abdel Nasser in 1960 to control the Nile floods and generate hydroelectric power.
Next, enjoy a scenic motorboat ride to Agilkia Island, home of the magnificent Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis. This beautifully preserved Greco-Roman temple complex was relocated stone by stone to save it from flooding after the construction of the High Dam.
Finally, visit the Unfinished Obelisk, located in the ancient granite quarries of Aswan. This massive monument offers a rare glimpse into ancient stone-carving techniques and was intended for the god Amun-Ra.
After the tour, return to your cruise for dinner and overnight on board.
Meals: Lunch, Dinner
Breakfast is served on board before beginning your guided visit to the Kalabsha Temple, located near the High Dam. This impressive monument, originally built during the late Ptolemaic period and completed under Roman Emperor Augustus, reflects a unique blend of Egyptian and Roman art and was dedicated to the Nubian god Mandulis.
Continue to the nearby Beit El Wali Temple, a rock-cut sanctuary rescued from Lake Nasser by an international archaeological mission. The temple features a cruciform design with detailed reliefs depicting military campaigns and religious offerings.
After the visits, return to the cruise for lunch and relaxation as the ship begins sailing towards Wadi El Seboua, passing through the symbolic Tropic of Cancer.
Enjoy a peaceful afternoon on board as the landscapes of Lake Nasser unfold.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
After breakfast, visit Wadi El Seboua, meaning “Valley of the Lions.” The site is famous for its sphinx-lined avenue leading to temples built during the reign of Ramesses II. This vast complex reflects the grandeur of ancient Egyptian religious architecture, surrounded by the silence of the desert.
Return to the cruise for lunch on board.
In the afternoon, continue sailing to the Temple of Amada, the oldest monument in the Lake Nasser region. Dating back to the 18th Dynasty, it predates Abu Simbel by nearly two centuries and showcases beautifully preserved wall inscriptions later enhanced by Ramesses II and his successors.
Dinner and overnight on board while sailing through the calm waters of Lake Nasser.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Early morning sailing offers a panoramic view of Kasr Ibrim, the only ancient site that remains in its original elevated position above Lake Nasser. Once a thriving fortress city, it now stands as a solitary island of history overlooking the lake.
Continue sailing to the highlight of the journey: the world-famous Abu Simbel Temples.
Carved into the mountainside by Pharaoh Ramesses II, these monumental temples are among the most iconic sites in Egypt. In the 1960s, they were dismantled and relocated in one of UNESCO’s most remarkable preservation projects to save them from the rising waters of Lake Nasser.
Optional in the evening: the spectacular Sound and Light Show, which brings the temples to life through narration, music, and illuminated projections.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Enjoy your final breakfast on board before check-out. After disembarkation, our representative will transfer you to Aswan Airport for your flight back to Cairo.
Meals: Breakfast
