Day 2: Pyramids Tour – Fly to Aswan – Check in Cruise
Start the second day of your 6 Days Cairo and Nile Cruise Tour with a mouthwatering breakfast at your hotel. Then, meet your private Egyptologist guide and set off in a modern air-conditioned vehicle to explore the world-famous Giza Pyramids Complex, home to the majestic pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mycerinus.
The Great Pyramid of Cheops:
Marvel at the colossal Great Pyramid, the last remaining wonder of the ancient world. Constructed from 2.3 million limestone blocks, it originally stood at 147 meters tall and reflects the unmatched brilliance of ancient Egyptian engineering.
The Great Sphinx:
Continue to the Great Sphinx, the iconic statue of a lion’s body with a human head believed to represent Pharaoh Chephren. Dating back to around 2500 BC, it remains one of the most mysterious and admired sculptures in history.
The Valley Temple:
Visit the Valley Temple, one of the most remarkable structures at the Giza Plateau, used for purification and mummification rituals during the Old Kingdom.
Enjoy lunch at a Nile-view restaurant in Cairo before heading to your next historical wonder.
The Egyptian Museum:
Explore the treasures inside the Egyptian Museum, home to over 120,000 ancient artifacts including the golden collection of King Tutankhamun. The museum showcases Egypt’s legacy from prehistory through the Greco-Roman period.
After the museum visit, you'll be transferred to Cairo Airport for your flight to Aswan. Upon arrival, check in aboard your 5-star deluxe Nile Cruise overnight onboard as your river journey begins.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
Day 3: Tour to Aswan Highlights – Sail to Kom Ombo
Begin your day with a delightful breakfast on board your 5-star Nile cruise. Then, join your private Egyptologist guide in a comfortable A/C vehicle to explore the majestic highlights of Aswan.
Philae Temple:
Your first stop is the enchanting Philae Temple, once located on Philae Island and dedicated to the goddess Isis. Dating back to 380–362 BC, the temple was relocated to Aglikia Island to save it from Nile flooding during the construction of the Aswan High Dam. Its intricate carvings and sacred atmosphere make it a must-see in Upper Egypt.
The Unfinished Obelisk:
Continue to the Unfinished Obelisk, a massive monument commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut around 1479 BC. Had it been completed, it would have been the largest obelisk ever constructed. The visible cracks give insight into ancient Egyptian stone-carving techniques and why it was ultimately abandoned.
Aswan High Dam:
Next, visit the powerful Aswan High Dam, an engineering marvel built between 1960 and 1970 to control Nile flooding and provide hydroelectric power. The dam significantly changed Egypt’s agriculture and economy.
After exploring Aswan's highlights, return to your luxurious Nile cruise for lunch. Spend the afternoon sailing northward, taking in the picturesque landscapes and timeless scenes along the Nile’s banks. Overnight onboard.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Day 4: Visit Kom Ombo and Edfu – Sail to Luxor
Enjoy a delicious breakfast on board your 5-star Nile cruise before joining your private Egyptologist guide for another exciting day exploring ancient Egypt’s landmarks along the Nile River.
Kom Ombo Temple:
Begin your tour at the remarkable Kom Ombo Temple, located directly on the Nile’s banks. Built between 180 and 47 BC, the temple is uniquely dedicated to two deities: the crocodile god Sobek and the falcon god Horus. Its symmetrical design and well-preserved reliefs reveal fascinating insights into ancient Egyptian dual worship practices.
After the visit, return to your cruise ship and enjoy a relaxing lunch as you sail toward Edfu.
Edfu Temple:
Upon arriving in Edfu, you’ll take a charming horse carriage ride to the magnificent Edfu Temple. Constructed between 237 and 57 BC, this temple is one of the best-preserved shrines in Egypt and was built in honor of the falcon-headed god Horus.
Edfu Temple was also the central location for the annual "Union of Opet" festival, celebrating the divine marriage between Horus and Hathor. Its towering pylons and mythological reliefs make it a true highlight of your journey.
Once your Edfu exploration is complete, return to the cruise and sail toward the magnificent city of Luxor. Overnight on board the cruise ship.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Day 5: Tour to Luxor Monuments – Fly to Cairo
Savor a delicious breakfast onboard your Nile cruise before disembarking for a private guided tour of Luxor, the open-air museum of ancient Egypt.
As part of your unforgettable 6 Days Cairo and Nile Cruise Tour, your expert Egyptologist guide will lead you through the city's most iconic monuments.
Karnak Temple:
Begin your tour at the majestic Karnak Temple Complex, dedicated primarily to Amun-Ra. Spanning over 200 acres, Karnak is the largest religious structure ever built and features temples, chapels, and the awe-inspiring Hypostyle Hall with 134 towering columns.
Temple of Hatshepsut:
Next, visit the breathtaking Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir El Bahari. This architectural marvel is carved into the limestone cliffs and honors one of Egypt’s greatest female pharaohs. The temple’s terraces and detailed reliefs depict Hatshepsut’s divine birth and trading expeditions.
Valley of the Kings:
Continue your journey with a tour of the world-renowned Valley of the Kings, the royal burial ground of the New Kingdom. Explore tombs of pharaohs like Tutankhamun, Ramesses II, and Tuthmosis III, all adorned with vibrant wall paintings that reveal ancient beliefs about the afterlife.
Colossi of Memnon:
Conclude your Luxor excursion with a visit to the Colossi of Memnon, two towering statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III. These 18-meter-high stone figures once guarded a grand mortuary temple and are famed for their enduring presence and historical significance.
