Itinerary

Welcome to Abu Simbel! Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by our friendly representative who will escort you to your luxurious cruise ship. Embark on a journey through time as you start your three-night adventure on Lake Nasser. After settling in, indulge in a delicious lunch onboard before venturing to the awe-inspiring Temples of Abu Simbel.

These magnificent temples stand as a testament to the grandeur of ancient Egypt, etched into the cliffs about 193 miles south of Aswan. The Great Temple, a tribute to the mighty Pharaoh Ramses II (1279-1213 BC), dominates the landscape. Nearby, the smaller temple, a testament to his beloved Queen Nefertari, stands as a symbol of their eternal love. These architectural wonders faced a perilous fate when the rising waters of the Aswan High Dam threatened to engulf them. Thankfully, an incredible global rescue operation saved these treasures of Lower Nubia, ensuring their preservation for generations to come.

Get ready to embark on an unforgettable journey through time! Your Lake Nasser cruise ship departs from Abu Simbel, taking you to the magnificent Qasr Ebrim, a Nubian monument unlike any other. Imagine gazing out from the top deck, where you'll witness this ancient wonder standing proudly, though now partially submerged by the lake's waters. Once perched atop a towering 70-meter cliff, Qasr Ebrim remains the only Nubian monument still standing on its original site. After this awe-inspiring experience, set sail towards Amada, where you'll spend a tranquil night, allowing the beauty of the surrounding landscape to work its magic.

Get ready for a captivating journey through time at Amada! Today, you'll step into the ancient Temple of Amada, a majestic relic of the New Kingdom era (circa 1550–1295 BC). This remarkable temple, one of the oldest along the shores of Lake Nasser, boasts exquisitely preserved reliefs and inscriptions, thanks to a protective layer of plaster applied when it was transformed into a church.

Next, you'll delve into history at the Tomb of the Viceroy of Nubia, Pennut, uncovering the secrets of this powerful figure. As the sun sets, your Lake Nasser cruise ship will gracefully glide towards Wadi Es-Seboua, where you'll encounter a trio of ancient wonders: the Temple of Wadi Es-Seboua, the Temple of Dakka, and the Temple of Maharaqa. After this incredible adventure, your ship will sail towards Aswan, where you'll spend a relaxing overnight.

Get ready to step ashore and explore the ancient wonders of New Kalabsha! You'll be captivated by the majestic Temple of Kalabsha, the largest freestanding temple in Lower Nubia, built during the reign of Augustus, the first Roman emperor. Immerse yourself in history as you discover the Temple of Beit El-Wali, and the Kiosk of Kertassi. Dedicated to the Nubian god Mandulis, you'll also find evidence of the worship of Isis and Osiris within the temple walls. After your exploration, enjoy a smooth transfer from the cruise to either the airport or your hotel in Aswan.
