5 Day Nile Cruise Luxor to Aswan

Transfer to your Nile cruise after landing in Luxor. Starting your 5-day Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan requires embarkation before to 12:00 PM.

You will explore the East Bank of Luxor in the afternoon, including the enormous Karnak Temple Complex, which is the largest building ever constructed in human history. Since it was regarded as the house of god on earth, the main construction is that of the god Amun Ra. The earlier structure dates back to the center kingdom, but there are other references that claim the previous structures date as far back as the third dynasty.

The Temple of Luxor, which was started by one of the 12th dynasty monarchs and finished by the famous pharaoh Ramses II, will be the next place you go. Similar to Karnak, this temple was situated in the center of ancient Thebes and was devoted to the chief/principal god Amun Re.

You will be transferred back to your ship for some rest and leisure when your day trip is over. The personnel will run an Egyptian folkloric entertainment at night. After dinner, stay the night in Luxor.
