Tour Itinerary

For your 4-day Nile cruise aboard the MS Amwaj from Aswan to Luxor, fly to Assuan today. Upon arrival at Aswan Airport, you will be warmly welcomed by our tour guide and taken to your 5-star Nile cruise ship for boarding.

Note:

A qualified Egyptologist, your tour guide, will be with you on board and lead the sightseeing tours during your Nile cruise in Egypt.

After your lunch on board, where you can enjoy the view of the beauty and atmosphere of the city of Aswan with its green islands and red granite rocks, take a trip to the surroundings of the city. The first item on the agenda is a boat trip to the Nile island of Agilika. There awaits you the last great sanctuary of ancient Egyptian religion, the enchanting:

Philae Temple

Philae Temple

One of the most remarkable Temples in Egypt is the Philae Temple, dedicated to the Goddess Isis. It was built during the Ptolemaic Period and became a center of her cult. The Temple was relocated to Agilika Island after the construction of the Aswan Dam to save it from flooding.

Next, visit the imposing High Dam, which impounds the Nile to Lake Nasser, with both positive and negative effects.

The High Dam

The High Dam

Aswan High Dam is a captivating engineering feat that is listed as the most remarkable project that belongs to the ruling period of President Gamal Abdul Nasser. The project started in 1960 to cover around 12,500 feet and was completed by 1971 to be responsible for almost half of the electricity generation in the country.

After today’s tour, you will return to your ship. Enjoy your first evening under the starry sky of Aswan and look forward to the program for the next few days.

Early in the morning, the ship departs from Aswan and sails downstream on the Nile. Enjoy the view from the sun deck of the dreamlike landscape along the Nile to Kom Ombo during the journey. In the afternoon, visit the:

The Kom Ombo Temple

The Kom Ombo Temple

The Temple of Kom Ombo is a unique ancient site that stands on a hill overlooking the Nile river. Unlike other temples, it has two entrances and two sets of halls, courts, and sanctuaries. This is because it was dedicated to two gods: Horus, the falcon-headed god of the sky, and Sobek, the crocodile-headed god of fertility and creation. The temple also reflects the importance of sugar cane cultivation in the region, as it contains a well-preserved Nilometer that was used to measure the water level and predict the harvest.

In the afternoon, the visit to one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt is on the agenda. You will visit:

The Edfu Temple

The Edfu Temple

A majestic Temple dedicated to the Horus Edfu Temple is considered by most to be the best-preserved cult Temple in Egypt. According to Egyptian myths, the Temple was believed to be the place where Horus the falcon-headed God avenged the murder of Osiris his Father by killing Seth.

After the Edfu Temple, your dream journey continues towards Luxor, where it docks.

After breakfast on board, you will travel with your guide to Thebes-West. The first highlight of the day awaits you:

The Valley of the Kings

The Valley of the Kings

The Valley of the Kings is a portal to paradise and was used by the greatest Kings and Queens of Egypt’s new Kingdom between 1570 and 1070 BC. The Valley of the Kings holds the resting place of some of the most important Pharaohs such as Ramses II, Hatshepsut, Amenhotep I, and Tutankhamun. As well it contains 63 Tombs filled with amazing statues, artifacts, treasures, and remarkable decorations. In 1979 the Valley of the Kings became a World Heritage site by UNESCO.

We leave this unique valley and the magical atmosphere and go to another enchanting place:

Hatshepsut Temple

Hatshepsut Temple

Queen Hatshepsut is renowned as one of the most successful Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt and the only female ruler in the history of Egypt. Queen Hatshepsut’s reign was peaceful and prosperous therefore, as a result, she earned a wide variety of achievements and one of them was her own Mortuary Temple which commemorates all her great works on its walls.

Your wonderful Trip includes a special Boat Trip on the Nile River, so you will sail to a pretty island to have a delicious Lunch before heading to check out the astonishing:

Memnon Colossi

Memnon Colossi

The Colossi of Memnon are two monumental statues that have stood for millennia as silent witnesses to the once-great civilization of Ancient Egypt. These imposing figures, each standing 18 meters tall and weighing an estimated 720 tons, were built to guard the mortuary temple of Pharaoh Amenhotep III.

Afterward, you will be escorted back to your ship. Following lunch on board, the ship sets sail towards Edfu through the Esna Lock.

Tip of the Day:

After breakfast on board and disembarkation, you will visit with your guide:

Karnak Temple

Karnak Temple

The Karnak Temple is the most massive Temple ever established by Man. This truly unique Site covers 247 acres of land and consists of three main buildings. Its uniqueness isn’t only due to its vast size but also because its exhibits are unique drawings and decorations all over its Walls. Because of being the largest Religious Site, the Karnak Temple was mainly constructed for the worshiping of Amun, Khonsu, and Mut.

Then you visit:

Luxor Temple

Luxor Temple

In the heart of Luxor, you will find the Luxor Temple, built by Amenhotep III and Ramses II.. Even Alexander the Great built a chapel for the ancient Egyptian gods.
