Itineraries

Day 1 - 1 Day Arrival in Aswan, Egypt

Your adventure begins upon arrival at Aswan Airport or Railway Station, where Egypt Tours Company representatives will transfer you directly to your luxury Nile cruise vessel. After embarkation and a welcome lunch aboard, your expert Egyptologist guide leads you to the magnificent Temple of Philae, dedicated to the goddess Isis. Accessible by motorboat, this enchanting temple complex sits on Agilkia Island and features stunning Ptolemaic and Roman architecture preserved through UNESCO relocation efforts. Next, witness the engineering marvel of the Aswan High Dam, completed in the 1970s to control the Nile's annual flooding. This massive structure created Lake Nasser and transformed Egypt's agricultural landscape. Following the dam visit, explore a traditional perfume shop where artisans demonstrate ancient essence-making techniques. As sunset approaches, embark on a tranquil felucca sailing around Aswan's picturesque islands, experiencing the same gentle river breezes that cooled ancient Egyptians.

Following the Abu Simbel visit, guests return to the cruise for lunch as the vessel sails northward toward Kom Ombo. Afternoon brings arrival at the unique Temple of Kom Ombo, situated dramatically on a Nile bend between Aswan and Edfu. This rare dual temple honors both Sobek, the crocodile god of fertility, and Horus the Elder, the falcon-headed sky deity. The symmetrical design features twin entrances, halls, and sanctuaries reflecting the two-god dedication. Adjacent to the temple, the Crocodile Museum displays dozens of mummified crocodiles once worshipped as living embodiments of Sobek.
