3-Night MS Farah Luxury Christmas Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor

Early Morning – Sailing to Kom Ombo
Wake up on board the MS Farah as it sails toward Kom Ombo, with breakfast served while the Nile's green banks slide past your window. This gentle stretch of river is one of the most scenic on the whole cruise, so keep your camera close.

Morning – Temple of Kom Ombo
Disembark for a guided visit to the unique double temple of Kom Ombo, dedicated equally to Sobek, the crocodile god, and Horus, the falcon-headed god of the sky. Built with perfect symmetry, the temple has two parallel entrances, halls, and sanctuaries, one for each deity. Don't miss the nearby Crocodile Museum, home to mummified crocodiles once worshipped in ancient rituals.

Midday – Sailing to Edfu
Return to the ship for lunch on board as the MS Farah continues north toward Edfu, cruising through some of the most tranquil scenery on the Nile.

Afternoon – Temple of Horus at Edfu
Arrive in Edfu and transfer by horse-drawn carriage to the Temple of Horus, widely regarded as the best-preserved temple in Egypt thanks to its burial under desert sand for centuries. Explore its massive pylons, hypostyle halls, and inner sanctuary, and learn about the annual "Feast of the Beautiful Meeting," an ancient festival once celebrated here.

Evening – Sailing, Dinner & Entertainment
Back on board, relax as the ship sets sail toward Luxor. Enjoy dinner with fellow travelers, followed by an evening of on-board entertainment, with the festive Christmas spirit continuing to build as you cruise through the night.

Morning – Valley of the Kings
Visit the Valley of the Kings, the burial ground of Egypt's New Kingdom pharaohs, including the tomb of Tutankhamun. Descend into the decorated corridors and burial chambers of several royal tombs, their walls covered in vivid inscriptions meant to guide the pharaohs through the afterlife.

Late Morning – Temple of Hatshepsut & Colossi of Memnon
Continue to the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, a striking terraced structure built into the cliffs at Deir el-Bahari for Egypt's most powerful female pharaoh. On the way back, stop at the Colossi of Memnon, two massive stone statues of Amenhotep III that have stood guard over the West Bank for over 3,400 years.

Return to the MS Farah for lunch on board and some time to relax before the afternoon's exploration of the East Bank.
