Next, take a motorboat ride to Philae Island to visit the magnificent Temple of Isis. Rescued and relocated due to rising waters, this sacred site showcases exquisite carvings and beautifully preserved structures honoring the goddess of magic and motherhood.

Sail onward to Edfu, where you’ll visit the Temple of Horus—one of the most intact temples in Egypt. Towering pylons, grand courtyards, and ancient reliefs make this a highlight of your cruise.

Back on board, enjoy a festive Galabeya Party in the evening—dress in traditional garments and join in the local music and dancing as the ship cruises toward Luxor.

Wake up as your cruise docks in Luxor. After breakfast, set off with your guide to explore the West Bank—the royal burial ground of the New Kingdom.

Wander through the Valley of the Kings, where richly decorated tombs hold the secrets of ancient pharaohs. Visit the magnificent Temple of Hatshepsut, carved into the cliffs in honor of Egypt’s iconic female ruler. End your tour with a stop at the Colossi of Memnon, two monumental statues that have stood for over 3,000 years.

Return to the ship to unwind as the Nile sparkles at sunset.

Then proceed to Luxor Temple, a splendid open-air museum featuring colossal statues and an avenue once lined with hundreds of sphinxes.
