Then, your expert driver will transfer you in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle to your Cairo hotel. After check-in, take some time to rest and get ready for an amazing evening by the cool breezes of the Nile River, marking the perfect start to your 6 Days Budget Nile Cruise Tour Package.

Nile Dinner Cruise:

On a night like no other, enjoy a delicious dinner prepared by experienced Egyptian chefs while admiring the Nile River views, Cairo’s evening atmosphere, and soft music in the background. After this wonderful night, we will transfer you back to your Cairo hotel to spend the night and get ready for a busy Giza day.

Meals: Dinner

Day 2: Explore Giza Pyramids and The Egyptian Museum

As the second day of your 6 Days Budget Nile Cruise Tour Package begins, enjoy a delicious breakfast at your hotel before getting ready for pickup. Your tour guide and comfortable vehicle will take you to the first sightseeing stop of the day: the iconic Pyramids of Giza.

The Khufu Pyramid:

Enjoy a visit to one of the wonders of the ancient world that still stands today, and don’t forget to photograph the three pyramids side by side. The Great Pyramid’s orientation is perfectly aligned with the cardinal directions, showing the incredible precision of ancient Egyptian engineering.

Admire one of Egypt’s oldest and most impressive monuments, whose carefully laid stones reveal the genius and skill of the ancient Egyptians.

The Sphinx:

Although the Great Sphinx is commonly linked to King Khafre, the builder of the middle pyramid, there is still some mystery surrounding the identity of the face carved on the statue. Don’t forget to take the famous photo of yourself kissing the Sphinx and enjoy learning the story behind its restoration by one of the kings of ancient Egyptian civilization.

The Valley Temple:

This temple is one of the most famous valley temples built in ancient Egypt. It was constructed by King Khafre for the mummification and funerary rites of the king. The temple used a variety of stones, most notably granite brought from Aswan.

We will then go for lunch at one of the local Egyptian restaurants before continuing the day.

The Egyptian Museum:

Enjoy the Egyptian Museum, which has itself become a monument over the years. Nearly a century old, it was originally established to help preserve Egyptian antiquities inside the country. Housing hundreds of thousands of artifacts, it is considered the first museum in the Middle East built specifically for ancient antiquities.

After the day is over, we will transfer you to the airport to catch your flight to Aswan, where your Nile Cruise will be waiting. Upon arrival, check in, enjoy a mouth-watering dinner on board, and spend the night on the cruise.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner

Day 3: Start Your Nile Cruise in Aswan

After waking up to the gentle sound of the Nile River waves, enjoy your Nile Cruise breakfast made with care. Then, get ready to meet your tour guide, who will lead you through the landmarks of Upper Egypt and share the fascinating stories behind them. Buckle up for the first sightseeing day on board this 6 Days Budget Nile Cruise Tour Package.

Aswan High Dam:

One of the most modern landmarks you will witness during this 6 days Egypt tour, the High Dam was built to protect Egypt from the danger of floods and help control the Nile’s water flow. Because of its construction, several temples had to be relocated, including Abu Simbel Temple, which was moved piece by piece.

Philae Temple:

Philae Temple, currently located on Agilkia Island, is one of the most beautiful Egyptian temples, with a stunning Greco-Roman touch. The temple is considered one of the last temples that continued to honor and worship the goddess Isis.

The Unfinished Obelisk:

The Unfinished Obelisk, left in one of the Aswan quarries, would have been the tallest and heaviest obelisk known in Egyptian history if it had been completed, reaching a height of about 42 meters. It also taught us how ancient Egyptians cut obelisks directly from the quarries.

After the day is done, we will head back to the Nile Cruise to enjoy a delicious lunch, dinner at the scheduled time, and wonderful views of the Nile under the open sky. Then, rest for the night before continuing your journey between these historic cities.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner

Day 4: Visit Kom Ombo and Edfu Temples

As an important day of your budget Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor, enjoy your breakfast and get ready for a day like no other between Kom Ombo and Edfu, where massive temples and fascinating ancient stories await.

Kom Ombo Temple:

The Temple of Kom Ombo is one of the most unique temples in the history of ancient Egypt, as it is the only temple dedicated to two gods: Horus and Sobek, the crocodile god. This temple also contains inscriptions of surgical instruments dating back to ancient times.

Edfu Temple:

In the Temple of Edfu, you will find inscriptions that tell the legend of the eternal struggle between Horus and Set. It is also considered one of the largest ancient Egyptian temples and one of the best preserved in terms of its appearance, colors, and inscriptions.

Once again, a lovely day comes to an end. Now, we will get back to our Nile Cruise to enjoy the friendly atmosphere on board, delicious meals for lunch and dinner, and a peaceful night’s sleep on the Nile.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner

Day 5: Discover Luxor’s Ancient Wonders

This is the last full day on your Nile Cruise, and it will be a memorable farewell to the treasures of Upper Egypt. After enjoying a good breakfast, your final sightseeing stop will be Luxor, the city often described as home to one-third of the world’s ancient monuments.

Karnak Complex:

This is one of the most fascinating landmarks of your 6 Days Budget Nile Cruise Tour Package. Enjoy the grand colonnades of one of the largest religious complexes in the world, along with its vibrant colors and impressive ancient details. The main axis of the temple aligns with the sunrise at a specific time of year, and the complex was dedicated to the worship and veneration of the Luxor Triad, headed by the god Amun.

Hatshepsut Temple:

The temple of Queen Hatshepsut contains inscriptions depicting trade expeditions to the Land of Punt, believed by many historians to be near modern-day Somalia, illustrating the prosperity of her reign. This temple is unique due to its layered structure and terraced architecture.

Valley of the Kings:

The Valley of the Kings, considered one of the most ingenious burial sites of the New Kingdom of Egypt, contains more than sixty tombs, and new tombs are still being discovered there. Among the most famous is the tomb of King Tutankhamun, which was found intact and preserved with its original treasures, including pure gold pieces. The contents of the tomb are now on display at the Grand Egyptian Museum.

Colossi of Memnon:

The Colossi of Memnon in western Luxor were once part of a massive ancient mortuary temple, and they are among the few remains still standing today. They were also famous for the mysterious sound said to come from one of the statues after sunrise, a story well known among locals and even admired by the Romans as a good omen.

After the day is over, we will return to the cruise to enjoy a nice dinner and one last night view of the heavenly Nile River and its peaceful atmosphere. Prepare your luggage for the next morning, as you will be flying back to Cairo Airport.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
