4 Days Nile Cruise Trip from Sharm El-Sheikh

After your breakfast on board the Nile cruise, we will start another special adventure in Aswan.

At first your guide will accompany you to the magical Temple of Edfu The Temple of Horus is one of the most complete ancient Egyptian temples located on the west bank of the Nile River, in the city of Edfu. The construction of the temple lasted about 180 years, from the reign of King Ptolemy III (246-221 BC) in 237 BC, until its completion during the reign of King Ptolemy XII (80-51 BC) in 57 BC. The temple, dedicated to the cult of the god Horus, consists of a huge building with two towers with two granite statues of Horus in the form of a falcon. Various pictures of King Ptolemy XII with his deities and scenes of his defeating his foes embellish the facade.

After that, we'll go to the Kom Ombo Temple, whose name is derived from the Arabic word "Kom," which appears in the titles of other archaeological sites.  and the word “Ambo” is derived from the ancient Egyptian language “Nupt” meaning gold, and in general the name of the area means “(Golden City)”. The city's temple was devoted to two gods: Horus (Horus the Elder), who appeared as a falcon, and Sobek, who was a crocodile.. Although an earlier temple already existed here during the New Kingdom (ca. 1550-1069 BC), the current temple structure was built during the Greco-Roman period (332 BC-395 AD), and the first documented royal name was Ptolemy VI (180-145 BC). Ptolemy XII (80-51 BC) completed most of the decorations in the temple.

This morning, we start a new experience at Luxor, once known as Thebes, after you had a delicious breakfast aboard your Nile cruise., During the Pharaonic period, Luxor, which is situated on the banks of the Nile River, which is separated into its east and west banks, served as Egypt's capital. We spend today seeing the east bank, which takes us to two temples that are crucial to Egypt's history.

Your guide will take you to you the Temple of Luxor, which was built around 1400 BC, on the third day of your journey. The Trinity of Thebes, which is made up of the gods Amun-Ra, his wife Mut, and his son Khonsu, was worshipped at the Luxor Temple,. The XVIII and XIX dynasties saw the construction of the Temple of Luxor.Amenhotep III and Amenhotep II built the temple's most important structures. This temple was named "Abt Rust," which can refer to either the southern compartment (the southern section of the temple) or the southern harem where Amun's wife, Mot, resided.

Then we will go to the temple of Karnak.A modified form of the Arabic word Khurnak, meaning walled town, the city of Karnak's name was used for many of the area's temples at this time. In the Middle Kingdom, the temple was originally called Bar Amun, which means the temple of Amun or the house of Amun. Later, it was called Ibit Sut, which means the choicest of places (sometimes translated as the chosen place). The walls of Senwosret I's hut on the third pylon bore this name. The temple was also known by other names, such as Nisut-Tuwa, meaning the throne of the two states, and Ebet Iset, meaning the most magnificent residence. The 18th Dynasty, the first dynasty of the New Kingdom, had rulers who were interested in worshiping Amun after he had combined with Ra to become Amun Ra, making this period the golden age of Karnak. and worshipped him as the god of war, and as the 18th and 19th Dynasties were famous for their military expansions, they had to pay attention to his temple to receive blessings from him in their wars, and as the 18th and 19th Dynasties were famous for their military expansions.

Following your final breakfast, our guide will take you on your tour, beginning at the Temple of Queen Hatshepsute, Al-Deir Al-Bahri is a tomb area on the west bank of the Nile, and in that area several graves were found carved in the rocks, including what was recently found from a cache tomb in which 40 mummies were found, and Al-Deir Al-Bahri is located in a mountainous area, and behind it is the Valley of the Kings where the most famous pharaohs of ancient Egypt are located, the whole area is visited by tourists from all over the earth, as it is a group of Pharaonic temples and tombs located on the west bank of the Nile opposite Luxor, Egypt. The monastery was built by Queen Hatshepsut to perform rituals that benefit her in the other world, while the name Al-Deir Al-Bahri is a modern Arabic name that was given to this area in the seventh century AD after the Copts used this temple as their monastery.
