Full description

Day 1 :

A representative will come at the chosen pickup time to collect you up from your hotel in Luxo. Then head to the Nile cruise ship in a private air-conditioned vehicle. Get settled into your comfortable room. Relax on the ship before enjoying a buffet lunch. Your guide meet you before your visit to the Karnak temple. Take a felucca ride on the Nile. Enjoy a refreshing breeze while you ride on a traditional Egyptian sailboat and take in views of Luxor from the water. Explore the Luxor temple built by Amenhotep III in the 18th Dynasty. After touring the temple, your guide will transfer you back to the ship. At night, enjoy dinner on board and an Egyptian folklore party. Day 2:

In the early morning get ready for bird’s eye views of the city from a hot air balloon. Admire an unforgettable sunrise from the sky and Luxor from above. After landing your guide will be waiting for you to head to the West Bank of Luxor to visit the Valley of the Kings. Discover the complex and see the tombs of Egyptian kings such as Merneptah, Ramesses III, and Ramesses VI. Next, head to the Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, dedicated to the fifth pharaoh and the only female ruler of Egypt who reigned for 20 peaceful years. Next, move to the Colossi of Memnon where you will see the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III at the Colossi of Memnon. Finally, head back to the ship for dinner.

Day 3:

After breakfast on board, take a horse-drawn carriage to Edfu. Visit the Temple of Horus with your guide and marvel at the most well-preserved religious place in Egypt with the imposing sandstone structures of Horus. Enjoy a buffet lunch back on board the boat as you sail to your next destination. In the afternoon, visit the unusual Temple of Kom Ombo. Learn about the structure of the temple and how it was built to honor two great gods. Return to the boat for dinner and free time. Day 4:

In the early morning, head to one of the most stunning temple complexes in Egypt, Abu Simbel Temples. Meet your guide at the temple and discover the twin temples of Ramesses II and Nefertari, built into the mountainside during the dynasty of Pharaoh Ramesses II. After the visit, return to the cruise ship before you're dropped off at your hotel in Aswan. For an additional fee, you can finish your trip at the Aswan airport or the train station.

The cruise was wonderful. Loved every day, excellent cabin, food and a lovely boat. Spent hours on the top deck, swimming, reading and writing, and watching the scenic Nile banks go by. The excursions to see the relics were well done with excellent guides. Arwa was really great in following up with us and making sure everything went well. Loved those buffet breakfasts in the morning, and also the evening dinners. I would recommend this cruise to anyone, regarding less of age. They even had a foam pool party one day!

Thank you Arwa from Nice Tour to organise our tours. Good communication via whatsApp before we arrive in Luxor and everyday briefing/send schedule about tour on that day. And also follow up what we done with the tours. Hot air balloon was a little bit hiccups when the balloon was not have enough air to fly. We have to evacuated quickly but for second attempted was successfully only the balloon did not fly higher as the other balloons. Maybe for the safety reason? We were late departed to Abu Simbel as the guide was slept in, made our group so tired and a little bit cranky :D Overall good experienced. Thanks again Arwa

Several inconveniences arose, the first guides were good on the trip to Kom Ombo, I had to see the guide inside the temple, the explanation lasted half an hour and he said goodbye right there, for Abu Simbel it is a very long trip, I spent 5 hours by car to arrive and have a tour of 1 hour for which the guide was 40 minutes late, and return by car another 4 hours. Outside of that, Arwa is always attentive to my tours and if I recommend the tour, just consider the last stop. The place is beautiful but the journey is very long.
