Sail to Kom Ombo, visiting the unique dual temple dedicated to Horus the Falcon and Sobek the Crocodile god. Return aboard for a scenic lunch as you glide toward Edfu. In Edfu, visit the colossal Horus Temple, the most intact shrine from ancient Egypt. Enjoy an evening Egyptian Galabeya party on board.
Awake in Luxor, the pharaonic capital of Thebes. Cross to the West Bank to explore the Valley of the Kings, descending into elaborately decorated tombs of the New Kingdom pharaohs. Admire the stepped terraces of Queen Hatshepsut’s mortuary temple and stand before the towering Colossi of Memnon.
