We cruise the wonderful stretch of the Nile between Luxor and Aswan after passing through the lock at Esna. Sites we visit include the Valley of the Kings and Queens, and the fabulous temple complex at Karnak, The temple of Khnum at Esna and the temple of  Horus at Kom Ombo, as well as those of Philae & Isis, together with the ancient quarry and unfinished Obelisk and the Aswan Dam, which resulted in the creation of Lake Nasser.
With so many unrivaled and world-famous sights, we have included the cruise shore excursions within our package. We note here that the longer tour to the spectacular temple of Abu Simbel is an optional one.
The holiday ends with a 2-night stay in Cairo (which can also be taken before the cruise if preferred) with an opportunity to visit the Pyramids and Sphynx as well as the Egyptian Museum in downtown Cairo.
