You sail to the temples.
A resident Egyptologist ashore each morning, from the largest temple ever built to tombs painted four thousand years ago.
Every morning, a resident Egyptologist leads you ashore — from the largest temple ever built to tombs painted four thousand years ago. Each excursion is included, guided, and timed to meet the light, not the crowds.
Karnak & Luxor Temple
The largest religious complex ever built — a forest of 134 columns in the Great Hypostyle Hall, and the Avenue of Sphinxes running to Luxor Temple, walked at dusk as the floodlights rise.
The Valley of the Kings
The hidden world of the pharaohs — royal tombs carved deep into the Theban cliffs, painted with vivid scenes of the afterlife. With Hatshepsut's terraced temple and the Colossi of Memnon.
The Temple of Horus
Reached by horse-drawn carriage — the most completely preserved temple in Egypt, dedicated to the falcon god Horus. Towering pylons, vast courtyards, and reliefs of the battle between Horus and Seth.
The Twin Temple
A rare double temple shared between Sobek the crocodile god and Horus the Elder — perfectly symmetrical, moored alongside at dusk and floodlit from the deck. See the ancient surgical instruments carved in stone.
Philae & the High Dam
Island-bound Philae, temple of Isis, reached by motorboat across the cataract — one of Egypt's most romantic sites. With the High Dam, the Unfinished Obelisk, and a felucca at golden hour.
Optional journeys.
Abu Simbel
A dawn flight south to the great rock temples of Ramses II and Nefertari, carved into the cliff and facing the rising sun.
Hot-Air Balloon
Float above the Valley of the Kings at sunrise, the temples and farmland of ancient Thebes bathed in golden light below.
