Tour Highlights: Lake Nasser Cruise

Day 1: Aswan - Abu Simbel

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. After learning the monumental history, you'll enjoy some leisure time until late afternoon when we regroup for dinner aboard the cruise ship.

Day 2: Lake Nasser

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, the oldest temple in Nubia. Our journey also includes visits to the Temple of Derr and the tomb of Penut, a mausoleum 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.

Day 3: Lake Nasser

On the third day, we'll anchor alongside the mesmerizing ruins of Wadi el Sebowa. This Nubian enclave invites us to explore the temples of Dakka and Mahrakka, displaying 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.

Day 4: Lake Nasser - 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. After breakfast, we'll disembark on the island of Kalabsha's temples. Here, we'll explore the Temple of Kertasi, honoring the goddess Isis. The guided tour will end as we return you 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.
