A Day to Explore the Valley of the Kings Connect with Locals

Journey to the final resting place of Egypt's Pharaohs, immersing yourself in the ancient history of Egypt's Valley of the Kings.

Journey to Ancient Kom Ombo

Sail upstream to Kom Ombo, where life remains much as it was a thousand years ago. Standing at the threshold of the imposing Temple of Kom Ombo on the banks of the Nile, you'll imagine visitors over the centuries arriving to pay homage to the gods Horus the Elder and Sobek. Tour the Temple and learn about its 'double' and perfectly symmetrical design for the duo, one side dedicated to the crocodile god, the other to the falcon god. After a captivating encounter with the ancients, enjoy a traditional Egyptian dinner on our cruise boat. Watching the sun set over the shimmering Nile, don your galabeas and toast to legends of the past and new friends.

Onwards to Aswan

Set sail on a traditional felucca across the mighty Nile to voyage around the Botanical Gardens on Kitchener's Island. On arrival explore the Aswan Dam, built to curb the periodic flooding of the Nile. Our next stop is the Temple of Isis, followed by a visit to the Unfinished Obelisk, lying semi-carved in the solid bedrock.

Disembark and Fly to Cairo

Enjoy a morning at leisure, or perhaps join a once-in-a-lifetime Optional Experience to Abu Simbel, carved into a solid rock cliff in Egypt's Nubian Valley. As you approach the Great Temple, marvel at the four-seated colossi on either side of the entrance and the elaborate engravings depicting great victories and tributes to the gods. Later this afternoon, fly back to Cairo.
Hotel: Ramses Hilton

Discover Colorful Cairo

Take in sweeping views over Cairo from the site of the old Citadel before heading inside the Alabaster Mosque. With its elegant domes and Ottoman design, this landmark built by Muhammad Ali Pasha is one of Egypt's most iconic. Then step inside the Hanging Church of St. Mary, one of the oldest Coptic churches in the country, built over the ruins of a Roman fortress. Enjoy some free time to explore and grab lunch at your own pace. Later, join an Egyptologist at the Grand Egyptian Museum to uncover over 100,000 artifacts, including Tutankhamun's full tomb collection, from gold jewelry to the famous funerary mask.
