The following day, delve into the legendary Valley of the Kings and explore three intriguing royal tombs. Marvel at the magnificent Temple of Hatshepsut and the towering Colossi of Memnon before visiting the vast Karnak Temple and the beautifully preserved Luxor Temple. As the day draws to a close, set sail towards Edfu, taking in the scenic views along the Nile. In Edfu, visit the remarkably preserved Temple of Horus, one of Egypt’s finest ancient sanctuaries, where tales of gods and pharaohs are etched into its walls. Continue sailing to Kom Ombo and explore the distinctive double temple dedicated to Sobek and Horus at the Temple of Kom Ombo before setting course for Aswan. Upon reaching Aswan, discover its highlights, including the impressive Aswan High Dam, the massive Unfinished Obelisk, and the charming Philae Temple. Later, unwind with a relaxing felucca sail around the Nile islands and admire the verdant botanical gardens of Kitchener’s Island.

On your final day, after breakfast, check out from your cabin.
