Day 1 Arrival Transfer
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Arrival Transfer

On the first day, we’ll be waiting for you at the Cairo airport to give you your visa and

help you with immigration controls before taking you to your hotel, and eating in a

local restaurant in the evening. If your flight arrives after 9 pm, we’ll instead furnish

you with a cold picnic at the hotel.
Day 2 Pyramids Of Giza
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Pyramids Of Giza

After breakfast, we’ll visit the pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx, where the bravest

can see the inside, dodging the ancient booby traps the ancient builders left to deter

grave robbers! Then with the visit to Egypt’s most famous historical site over, we’ll eat

a traditional lunch and make our way to Memphis, Egypt’s first capital, and

to Saqqara, its necropolis as well as the famous statue of Ramses II.

Then, after a short rest at the hotel, we’ll head to Old Cairo, to the medieval area where

we’ll walk its oldest street, explore the Khan el Khalili market, and eat a typical

dinner in the famous and historical Café of Mirrors.
Day 3 Cairo
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Cairo

On our third day, we’ll visit the most emblematic downtown spots. We’ll see

the Citadel, explore the Alabaster Mosque, haggle in the Khan el Khalili, pass

through the Coptic neighborhood, eat, and marvel at the masterworks of

the Egyptian Museum (entrance to the Mummy’s Room is not included). Then in the

evening, we’ll eat at a local restaurant.
Day 4 Luxor
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Luxor

After another strong breakfast, we’ll make our way to the airport to take a flight to

Luxor, once called Thebes, from where our cruise down the Nile starts. At this

fascinating destination, we’ll visit the Luxor Temple - which will perhaps be the most

enduring image of our trip - and tour the city center on a horse-drawn carriage. Finally,

we’ll take you to the hotel where we’ll rest until the next day.
Day 5 Luxor
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Luxor

Early in the morning, we’ll make our way to the Karnak Temple, separated from the

Luxor temple by the majestic Avenue of the Sphinxes, nearly 2 miles long and lined

with hundreds of human-headed sphinxes.

The tour will then continue, crossing to the East bank of the Nile to see the Valley of

the Kings, where the tombs of some of the most famous pharaohs can be found

(entrance to Tutankhamun’s tomb is an extra € 16, approximately). And we’ll visit

the Hatshepsut temple and the enormous Colossi of Memnon.

Then, when we return to the boat, we’ll cruise southwards up the river Nile, towards

Edfu, enjoying a wander around the floodgates of Esna in the evening.
Day 6 Aswan
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Aswan

We begin the day by visiting the Temple of Edfu, dedicated to the god Horus, the sky

God. This also happens to be the best-preserved and most spectacular temple in the

country. Then, we’ll continue our cruise, sailing towards Kom Ombo.

As we arrive, we’ll visit the temple, dedicated to the Gods Sobek and Horus - whose

location makes it one of the most beautiful. Then, at the end of the day, we’ll continue

to sail the River Nile towards Aswan.

Note: the visit to Edfu includes transport by buggy. If you prefer to travel by a different

means of transport, please let the guide know the day before. Opting for a different

mode of transport incurs an additional fee of € 15 per person.
Day 7 Aswan
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Aswan

The day begins with a bus trip to the Temples of Abu Simbel, the most famous in all

of Egypt, saved from the rising waters of the Nile thanks to a coordinated

international effort. We’ll return to Aswan and, along the way, catch a glimpse of the

Aswan Dam, one of the most impressive engineering feats of the 20th century.

Additionally, we’ll also visit the Temple of Filae, found on a beautiful island known

as the Jewel of the Nile, returning to the cruise ship to eat. Then, after lunch, we’ll

sail around the region in a Felucca (a traditional wooden boat) found along the Nile,

arriving back to the cruise ship at 4 pm to spend the night. Of course, you’ll have the

rest of the evening free to enjoy the area at your own pace before bedtime!
Day 8 Departure From Aswan To Cairo
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Departure From Aswan To Cairo

Day 8

Having eaten breakfast, we’ll take you to the Aswan airport, where we’ll take the return

flight to Cairo. Once there, you’re free to move on to your connecting or international

flight.

We’ll adapt the departure time from Aswan depending on the timing of your flight

from Cairo. If it leaves early, we’ll leave Aswan earlier and offer you a continental

breakfast or something to go. If your Cairo flight is in the evening, we’ll offer you

breakfast on board the boat before taking you to Aswan to take your flight to Cairo
