On this amazing eight-day cruise you will start at the East Bank in Luxor. Visit the magical Karnak Temples, the most massive religious structure in the world and which covers an area of about 60 acres. The Temples can be viewed as a history book, explaining the history of Egypt from the Middle Kingdom to the Ptolemaic period. The Temples at Karnak were dedicated to the God Amon-re, his consort Mut and their son Khonsu.

Your next stop will be the West Bank where you will explore the majestic necropolis of the Valley of the Kings. Here you will learn about the Pharaohs and their ancient beliefs about the afterlife at this fantastic site where 63 tombs were discovered.

Your guided tour will continue to theTemple of Queen Hatshepsut who was the 1st Queen in history. She played an essential role in ancient Egyptian history and ruled for approximately 21 years. Queen Hatshepsut was also the first Queen to send a diplomatic expedition to the land of Punt (Somalia). During your tour, you will discover that she left many monuments as her legacy.

Next on your itinerary will be the two Colossi of Memnon where legend has it that after the famous War of Troy, people would hear a sad voice coming from the statues. However: in later years, it was discovered that this phenomenon was the result of friction between air and tiny holes from inside the figures. Once the sculptures were restored, the voices disappeared.

Visit the beautiful Edfu Temple before sailing to Al Ramady Island.

Enjoy seeing the views in Egypt from the water as you will sail past Al Ramaday Island on your way to Aswan.

Spend a fun day exploring Aswan, where you will be given some free time to enjoy the sights and exotic smells of spices in Aswan market.

This tour was far better than we had hoped. We had a private tour and at first we were worried that we spent a lot and maybe it would not be worth it. We had a great day with our private guide who could not do enough for us.

Everything was well organised and ran smoothly however the highlight was my guide. She has a true passion for her job, culture and region. Is very patient (the majority of people were rude enough not to even show up on time!) Outstandingly engaging and has a fab sense of humour in addition to being amazingly helpful and just an all round exceptionally warm and genuine person. Thanks so much for brighting my day and for sharing your knowledge
