The Best of Aswan, Luxon & The River Nile
If there’s one place to truly appreciate the scale of the Nile's ancient civilisation, it’s Luxor. Here you can explore the Temple of Karnak, one of the greatest ever feats of construction with its extraordinary obelisks, columns, sphinxes and statues. Enjoy an early morning hot air balloon ride to take in its magnificence.
From Luxor, a luxury cruise will take you to across the Nile to see the Valley of the Kings and Queens where new tombs seem to be discovered every day. Continue to sail to the lesser-known temples of Edfu and Kom Ombo. Disembark in Aswan, the home of Philae Temple, charming Nubian villages, and buzzy colourful markets. At the end of each day, relax on deck while watching local scenes unfold to the background sounds of the call to prayer.
Finally, cap off your journey with a flight to Abu Simbel to see the temples dedicated to Ramses II and his wife Nefertari. It will leave you in awe of its sheer scale and grandeur.
