Upon arrival in Luxor our English speaking guide will meet you at the airport with sign “sharm-club.com”, transfer to the city to start your tour. Depending on the time of your arrival on the 1st day you can visit just some monuments and others will be visited on another day.

We will 1st visit the West bank and Colossi of Memnon. Next stop at the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut ( Deir el Bahari ) – this is the most beautiful temple in the necropolis and the queen herself is one of the most colourful figures in ancient Egyptian history.

Next stop is at the Valley of the Kings . It is a remote valley deep in the limestone hills to the north-west of Deir el Bahri. Your visit includes entry into 3 tombs, however if you wish to see either the tomb of King Tutankhamen or Tomb of Ramses VI, there is an additional ticket cost.

Afternoon check in your floating hotel. Lunch on board, some rest and continue exploring the city.

Sailing to Edfu

In the afternoon we start sailing towards Esna city. The distance is around 55 km. Let’s enjoy with the beautiful views of the Egyptian countryside until we reach the lock of Esna, we pass through the lock and continue sailing to Edfu. The distance is around 65 km.

Visiting of Temples of Edfu and Kom Ombo

In the morning after the breakfast we will visit Edfu temple of Horus, but to reach the temple we should catch a cab. The entire temple is embellished with wonderful reliefs. This is one of the most beautiful and certainly the best preserved of Egypt’s monuments. There is no ancient monument in the world that can match it.

Then back to the boat to continue our journey toward Kom Ombo. In the afternoon we will visit Double temple of Sobek & Horus at Kom Ombo. After visiting the temple we will be back to the boat to continue sailing to Aswan. Let’s have lunch and dinner on board. Overnight and evening entertainment program in Aswan is available.

Our next goal will be a jewel of Upper Egypt, a beautiful small island of Philae. To reach the extraordinary temple of Philae island we will sail by a felucca boat. The original monuments of the island was dismantled & re-erected on another island called Agilkai, slightly to the north of Philae. So, this is the place we are visiting these days.

I read a lot of reviews about the Nile cruises in Egypt, after I have chosen Sharm Club to book with them as they were prompt reply and very helpful. Upon arrival, we met the rep of Sharm Club at the airport, took us in nice clean car to the boat, The boat was very nice and the staff very friendly. The food on the boat was good and we have full board accommodation. The sightseeing excursions were excellent with a lot of history and information, our guide was very helpful and informative. I had the best vacation of my life there thanks to Sharm Club.
