Settle in and enjoy the remainder of the day at leisure as you prepare to begin an extraordinary journey through the land of the pharaohs.

Explore its spectacular galleries and discover masterpieces associated with Egypt’s greatest rulers, including the remarkable treasures of King Tutankhamun.

Continue to the legendary Giza Plateau, where the Great Pyramid of Khufu—the last surviving Wonder of the Ancient World—stands alongside the pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure.

With your private Egyptologist, uncover the history and mysteries surrounding these monumental structures before visiting the timeless Great Sphinx. Complete your exploration from the panoramic viewpoint, where the pyramids rise spectacularly from the desert landscape.

A short flight takes you to Abu Simbel. Journey south to the extraordinary Temples of Abu Simbel, among the greatest monuments created during the reign of Ramses II.

Stand before the four colossal statues guarding the Great Temple before exploring its impressive chambers and beautifully carved reliefs. Nearby, discover the elegant temple dedicated to Queen Nefertari, one of ancient Egypt’s most celebrated queens.

Enjoy the beauty of Aswan before your Nile journey continues north through landscapes of palm groves, fertile fields and golden desert.

As you sail toward Kom Ombo, relax aboard your cruise and experience the timeless rhythm of life along the riverbanks.

Return to your cruise and continue sailing toward Edfu. Discover the magnificent Temple of Edfu, one of the best-preserved ancient temples in Egypt. Dedicated to the falcon-headed god Horus, its monumental pylons, grand courtyards and richly decorated walls offer an exceptional insight into ancient Egyptian mythology and religious traditions.

Cross to Luxor’s West Bank and enter the legendary Valley of the Kings, where the rulers of Egypt’s New Kingdom created magnificent tombs hidden within the desert mountains.

Explore selected royal tombs decorated with extraordinary scenes depicting the pharaohs’ journey into the afterlife. The valley is also home to the celebrated tomb of King Tutankhamun, discovered by Howard Carter in 1922.
