Afterward, return to your cruise to enjoy a delightful lunch on board. Spend the afternoon relaxing or participating in onboard activities before a delicious dinner and overnight stay in Aswan.
Abu Simbel – Kom Ombo – Edfu
Rise early for an unforgettable excursion to Abu Simbel, one of Egypt’s greatest architectural achievements. These magnificent temples, carved into the mountainside by King Ramses II, honor gods such as Ra-Horakhty, Ptah, and Amun-Ra, and stand as eternal symbols of power and devotion. After returning to the ship, your 4 Day Nile Cruise Egypt continues as you sail north toward Kom Ombo. Visit the unique Temple of Kom Ombo, shared by two gods—Sobek, the crocodile god, and Horus, the falcon-headed god. Then continue to Edfu, where you’ll explore the stunning Temple of Horus, one of Egypt’s best-preserved temples. Enjoy dinner and evening entertainment on board as your cruise sails toward Esna. Overnight on the ship.

Today, your 4 Day Nile Cruise Egypt offers a chance to relax and enjoy the journey. As you pass through Esna, take in the serene landscapes and witness daily life along the riverbanks. The scenery of rural Egypt unfolds before you—fishermen casting nets, farmers tending fields, and children waving from the shores. Upon arrival in Luxor, you can choose to attend the Sound and Light Show at the Karnak Temple (optional excursion) for a mesmerizing evening experience. Enjoy dinner and your final night aboard the cruise in Luxor.
Luxor West & East Bank Tours – Farewell
After breakfast, disembark for your final day of exploration. Begin with the West Bank, home to the ancient Valley of the Kings, where pharaohs of the New Kingdom were laid to rest in ornately decorated tombs. Explore three remarkable tombs and listen as your guide brings the stories of Egypt’s ancient rulers to life. Next, visit the elegant Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, a masterpiece of ancient architecture, followed by the Colossi of Memnon, two towering statues that have stood guard for over 3,000 years. Continue to the East Bank to visit the Temples of Karnak and Luxor—the grand finale of your 4 Day Nile Cruise Egypt. Marvel at the towering columns, sacred statues, and the vast hypostyle hall that make Karnak one of the world’s greatest temple complexes.
