Arrive in Luxor, where our representative will meet you at the airport or railway station and transfer you to board the Al Kahila Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan. After embarkation, you'll be welcomed by your professional Egyptologist guide, who will accompany you throughout your Nile River cruise.
Start your sightseeing with Karnak Temple Complex; it's the largest religious site that was ever built in ancient Egypt. Go and wander through the huge gates, those tall columns, and the sacred temples, while you piece together the deep backstory of the pharaohs who, over many years, enlarged this astonishing compound step by step.
Then head to Luxor Temple, which is one of Egypt’s most recognizable ancient landmarks. It was put together by Amenhotep III, and later it was expanded by Ramses II. The place functioned as a key hub for religious festivals plus royal rites in the New Kingdom, so it feels kind of alive even now.
After your guided tour, return to the Al Kahila Nile Cruise and enjoy dinner on board as you begin your luxury Nile Cruise Egypt experience.

Continue to the Unfinished Obelisk; it’s in Aswan’s ancient granite quarries, and it really gives you a good look at how the stoneworkers did their work, back then. You can almost feel the scale of what they were trying to build.
Your next stop goes to the Philae Temple, a beautiful place dedicated to the goddess Isis, and it sits on Agilkia Island.
