At the scheduled time, we'll collect you from your hotel in Aswan and take you to the picturesque shores of Abu Simbel. Upon reaching the temple grounds, we'll board a comfortable cruise ship conveniently docked nearby, treating ourselves to a delightful onboard lunch to refuel. Following this, a guided tour awaits at the temples of Abu Simbel and Nefertari. What significant legacy did the mighty Pharaoh Ramses II leave behind? After learning the monumental history, you'll enjoy some leisure time until late afternoon when we regroup for dinner aboard the cruise ship.

We'll begin the day with a satisfying breakfast in the ship's restaurant as we set sail toward the ancient citadel of Qasr Ibrim. We'll delve into the history of this strategic fortress and explore the nearby Temple of Amada — did you know it holds the title of the oldest temple in Nubia? Our journey also includes visits to the Temple of Derr and the tomb of Penut, a mausoleum with intriguing mysteries linked to a wealthy governor of Ramses IV. Following these guided tours, we'll return to the ship for lunch, continuing our cruise adventure on Lake Nasser.

As we reach the third day of the cruise, we'll anchor alongside the mesmerizing ruins of Wadi el Sebowa. This Nubian enclave invites us to immerse ourselves in the captivating history of Ancient Egypt, exploring the temples of Dakka and Mahrakka. These ancient sanctuaries vividly display remnants associated with Thoth, the Egyptian god of writing, wisdom, music, and spells. Our special day concludes with an onboard culinary experience as we sail towards Aswan.

On the final day, we'll witness the breathtaking sunrise in the southern skies of Egypt during breakfast on board, taking in the view of the Aswan Dam. Following a rejuvenating meal, we'll disembark on the island of Kalabsha's temples. Here, we'll try unlocking the secret codes of the Temple of Kertasi, a structure honoring the cryptic and mystical goddess Isis. The guided tour of the island will end as we bring you pack to your hotel in Aswan. Once in the city, you can opt to enjoy lunch at one of the numerous restaurants offering typical North African cuisine. Alternatively, if your flight is departing in three hours, we can escort you to the Aswan airport for a hassle-free check-in and security clearance.
