Get ready for your first day in and around Cairo. This city, the largest African city, is the neighbor of Giza, where the Great Pyramids stand. We will make our way to the Giza plateau to meet these giants face to face and also shake hands with the Sphinx that stand at the foot of the great Pyramids. You even have a chance to hop on a camel with the Pyramids in the background. We will make our way to the Stepped Pyramid of Djoser situated in Saqqara.

This is the first building in the history of mankind and on a clear day, one can spot the Giza pyramids from this complex. After stocking up on some snacks, we will gather at the train station to make our way to Luxor per over night train.

We arrive in Luxor early morning where you have a free morning to catch up on some sleep or roam the streets of Luxor. We will later on visit the Temples of Karnak and Luxor, where you can imagine how the rows of sphinxes once joined these two majestic temples many years ago. This visit is followed by some more free time to spend on shopping for quality Egyptian goods.

Waking up while sailing the Nile river – making our way to Esna. The main attraction of this Egyptian city is the temple of Esna, which is only partially excavated. Before lunch you have an opportunity to walk around the great Esna market searching for treasures. Our way forward takes us to the Temple of Edfu. What a temple. Majestic to say the least. The endless rows of pillars provide amazing photo opportunities. Tonight we dine on board while sailing towards Kom Ombo.

As we have breakfast, we sail along the Nile to visit the Temple of Kom Ombo. This temple still has evidence of how color was used on walls, ceilings and pillars to beautify the splendid temples for Gods. We make our way sailing to Aswan. Do take as much time to spend outside to look at the smartly laid out croplands of the Egyptian farmers.

Back in the water, we take a short motorboat trip to the Philae Temple. One of the most beautiful crafted of all temples. Tonight we will walk through the Aswan markets where you can shop for some traditional Egyptian goods before we board our cruiser once more.
