Nile Cruise on MS Sonesta Moon Goddess

Early in the morning, take a (optional) hot air balloon ride over Luxor to get a bird's eye view of this stunning city.

An early morning wake-up call will be followed by breakfast on board your Egypt Nile River Cruise before you begin your Egypt Day Tours in Luxor. On these tours, you'll go to the Luxor West Bank Tours to see the final developments of the royal tombs in ancient Egypt as the Pharaohs of the new kingdom started to carve them into the western mountain to become later known as the Valley of the Kings.
Ancient Egyptian burial rites included mummification. Continue your Luxor excursions as your guide takes you to see the Colossi of Memnon and to learn about the temple of Queen Hatshepsut, a well-known female pharaoh in ancient Egyptian history. After lunch and afternoon tea on board, set sail for Edfu. On board, meals are served as guests listen to music in the lounge.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner

After a wake-up call in the early morning and a sumptuous breakfast on board the cruise ship, guests can have a fantastic tour of Kom Ombo and Edfu, visiting the temple at Edfu that was constructed for the cult of God Horus, before sailing to Kom Ombo while lunch is being served on board. Visit the Kom Ombo Temple, which was shared by the gods Sobek and Horaeris in ancient Egypt, and then continue sailing to Aswan while having afternoon tea and your delectable dinner on board. To complete your entertainment experience with Cairo Top Tours, the Galabiya Party will be held.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner

You will eat breakfast on board the vessel at 7:00 am before disembarking from your Egypt Nile River Cruise and beginning your Aswan day tours.

First, you will visit the High Dam in Aswan, which is the country's largest dam but was not the country's first. Next, you will travel to the Granite Quarries to see the largest Unfinished Obelisk, which some scholars believe was never finished because it was not finished before Queen Hatshepsut passed away. The Temple of Philae in Aswan, which was built in the Greco-Roman architectural style for the worship of Goddess Isis, will be your next stop on your Aswan tours.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner

Our tour guide will transfer you from the Luxor to the Aswan Nile Cruise boat after breakfast to the Aswan airport, train station, or any other drop-off place required.
