Full description

Day 1 :

A representative will come at the chosen pickup time to collect you up from your hotel in Luxo. Then head to the Nile cruise ship in a private air-conditioned vehicle. Get settled into your comfortable room. Relax on the ship before enjoying a buffet lunch. Your guide meet you before your visit to the Karnak temple. Take a felucca ride on the Nile. Enjoy a refreshing breeze while you ride on a traditional Egyptian sailboat and take in views of Luxor from the water. Explore the Luxor temple built by Amenhotep III in the 18th Dynasty. After touring the temple, your guide will transfer you back to the ship. At night, enjoy dinner on board and an Egyptian folklore party. Day 2:

In the early morning get ready for bird’s eye views of the city from a hot air balloon. Admire an unforgettable sunrise from the sky and Luxor from above. After landing your guide will be waiting for you to head to the West Bank of Luxor to visit the Valley of the Kings. Discover the complex and see the tombs of Egyptian kings such as Merneptah, Ramesses III, and Ramesses VI. Next, head to the Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, dedicated to the fifth pharaoh and the only female ruler of Egypt who reigned for 20 peaceful years. Next, move to the Colossi of Memnon where you will see the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III at the Colossi of Memnon. Finally, head back to the ship for dinner.

Day 3:

After breakfast on board, take a horse-drawn carriage to Edfu. Visit the Temple of Horus with your guide and marvel at the most well-preserved religious place in Egypt with the imposing sandstone structures of Horus. Enjoy a buffet lunch back on board the boat as you sail to your next destination. In the afternoon, visit the unusual Temple of Kom Ombo. Learn about the structure of the temple and how it was built to honor two great gods. Return to the boat for dinner and free time. Day 4:

In the early morning, head to one of the most stunning temple complexes in Egypt, Abu Simbel Temples. Meet your guide at the temple and discover the twin temples of Ramesses II and Nefertari, built into the mountainside during the dynasty of Pharaoh Ramesses II. After the visit, return to the cruise ship before you're dropped off at your hotel in Aswan. For an additional fee, you can finish your trip at the Aswan airport or the train station.

We really enjoyed the tours with the private guide in Luxor. The balloon ride was fun. The last day going to Abu Sibel was too much driving time and a bit confusing on the drop off. Better communication between the company and the guide is needed. The guide was very nice and helpful. The boat was nice. The food could have been better, the bagged breakfast was terrible. Bread, bread, bread and more bread. The overall experience was good

The cruise was nice, M/S Mahrousa - we didn’t actually know the boat we were on until the day so very stressful. Although some staff were rude and demanded tips. The guide summar was good but felt rushed throughout and kept taking us to places to buy goods rather than visiting the temples for longer, the guide for Aswan was good. Arwa was great communication- very quick to reply! Hot air baloon was very good!

Arwa was in contact all the time making sure everything was sorted, organised and pleasant for us. The cruise staff and the guides were very friendly. They made us feel welcomed. It’s important to understand that are a variety of ships in the Nile, this was one is nice and definitely do the job but it’s not a luxury ship nor new.
