Afterwards, a visit to the Luxor temple that was dedicated to the royalty renewal, where many Egyptian pharaohs were crowned. Then we’ll return to our cruise for a delicious, freshly prepared dinner. You can then explore Luxor by a horse-drawn carriage wandering around Luxor, and you’ll have your first overnight stay on board.

Day 2: Luxor
We’ll wake up early and enjoy our first breakfast on board as the sun slowly rises over the Nile before our amazing West Bank tour begins. The West Bank tour begins with a visit to the Great Valley of the Kings, the royal burial ground where the tombs of the pharaohs were built from 1539 to 1075 BC. Then we’ll head to the Temple of Hatshepsut (Al-Deir Al-Bahari), the most powerful and prolific queen in Egyptian history and move to see the Colossi of Memnon, the two massive stone statues of the Pharaoh Amenhotep III standing at the front of the ruined Mortuary Temple of Amenhotep III.

Day 3: Edfu - Kom Ombo
After the morning breakfast, the Calesh will take you to Edfu temple (the site of the Ptolemaic Temple dedicated to Horus and an ancient settlement). By carriage we’ll go back to the boat and start navigating for more than 5 hours to “Kom Ombo”, enjoying the Egyptian landscapes, and watching the farmers working in the farm fields until we arrive at Kom Ombo’s unique temple that has a 'double' design meant that there were courts, halls, sanctuaries and rooms duplicated for two sets of gods. The southern half of the temple was dedicated to the Crocodile God “Sobek”, God of strength, where you’ll find rooms specified for mummified crocodiles.
Meanwhile, the northern part of the temple was dedicated to the Falcon God Haroeris ("Horus the Elder").
Afterwards, we’ll return to the boat and sail to Aswan, where you will stay overnight.
