Board the Princess Sarah Nile Cruise before lunch and settle into your stylish cabin. In the afternoon, begin with a guided tour of Karnak Temple, a sprawling complex that grew over 1,500 years, featuring the grand Avenue of Sphinxes, towering pylons, and the unforgettable Hypostyle Hall. Then move to Luxor Temple, a breathtaking site glowing in the sunset, where massive statues of Ramses II and elegant colonnades await. Return to your cruise for dinner and overnight in Luxor.

This morning, step into the afterlife as you explore the Valley of the Kings, entering tombs adorned with vibrant hieroglyphs. Continue to the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, a testament to ambition and divine power, and finish with the Colossi of Memnon, giant sentinels watching over the Theban necropolis. Return to the ship for lunch as you sail toward Esna, passing through the Esna Lock before enjoying a leisurely dinner and evening on board.
Optional: Experience a magical sunrise over Luxor with a hot air balloon ride—an unforgettable aerial view of temples and the Nile.

Arrive in Edfu, where a horse carriage takes you to the Temple of Horus, the most complete temple in Egypt. Its towering pylons and sacred halls narrate the eternal battle between Horus and Seth. In the afternoon, stop at Kom Ombo Temple, uniquely designed as a mirror-image sanctuary for two gods—Sobek and Horus the Elder. The reliefs, calendars, and medical carvings here offer rare insight into ancient Egyptian life. After the visit, return to your ship for a night of cruising toward Aswan.

Begin your morning with a visit to the mighty High Dam, then journey by boat to the enchanting Philae Temple, one of Egypt’s most picturesque sites, dedicated to Isis, the goddess of love and magic. Continue to the Unfinished Obelisk, lying in the ancient granite quarries—a reminder of Egypt’s ambitious past. In the afternoon, you may join an optional Nubian Village visit, where brightly painted houses and warm hospitality showcase the vibrant culture of southern Egypt. Dinner and overnight on board in Aswan.

Enjoy your final breakfast on board before disembarkation. For those seeking one last adventure, an optional excursion to Abu Simbel is available. These monumental temples, carved into sandstone cliffs, honor Ramses II and his queen, Nefertari, and are among the most awe-inspiring sights in Egypt.
