As you arrive in Luxor during the magical time of Christmas, your enchanted expedition will begin when you meet your own guide, who will be your key to the mysteries of ancient Egypt, and the wonders nestled along the Riverbank will be uncovered before your eyes, starting with Luxor's East Bank:

Karnak Temple

Karnak Temple shines with the devotion of ancient Egyptians, thus revealing the grand history of the ancient Egyptian civilization from the moment of construction between 2000 BC and 30 BC. For centuries, this divine sanctuary stood across 247 sacred acres filled with temples, pylons, chapels, and other buildings, which were dedicated to the Theban triad, which is made of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. Across this colossal open-air museum, everyone will get to cast their eyes on the most beautiful marvels, such as the Avenue of Sphinxes and the Great Hypostyle Hall.

Luxor Temple by Night

Lunar light covers the Luxor Temple, which has radiated golden splendor and royal grandeur since it was built in 1400 BC by Amenhotep III and Rameses II. Numerous crowing ceremonies and the ethereal Opet festival, a celebration that echoes rumors of ancient rituals and regal regeneration, were held at this sanctuary.

Awaken to a sunrise painted in gold hues aboard the cruise and journey to Luxor's West Bank, where history slumbers amidst ancient valleys:

Valley of the Kings

From the 18th to the 20th dynasties of the new kingdom (1570–1050 BC), pharaohs were interred in elaborate tombs in the Valley of the Kings, which has long served as a regal gateway to worlds beyond. Stories of greatness from Ramses the Great, Hatshepsut, Seti I, Tutankhamun, and others are revealed in sixty-three secret rooms, along with extremely significant facts that provide extremely valuable information.

Hatshepsut Temple

Situated on the hills of Deir El Bahari, Hatshepsut Temple is a stunning monument that honors the magnificent legacy of Queen Hatshepsut (1507–1458 BC). With the help of Senenmut, her vizier and Overseer of Works, this temple was built during a 15-year period in 1479 BC. She was Amun's principal priestess wife. The accomplishments of one of Egypt's most famous pharaohs have been reflected in the temple's beauty, culture, faith, and history.

Colossi of Memnon

Completed in 1350 BC, the Colossi of Memnon are enormous, towering guardians of Pharaoh Amenhotep III (1386–1349). Throughout history, it underwent numerous renovations, particularly during the Greco-Roman era. They served as quiet guardians of eras that preserved ancient Egypt's riches for centuries.

You will have your breakfast onboard the Nile cruise, and then you will head with your tour guide to:

Edfu Temple

is a blessed and captivating marvel that has stood as a testament to Horus, the sky falcon god. This temple's grandeur and preservation echo tales of victory and divine power since its creation between 237 BC and 57 BC. It was made on the ground where Hors defeated his evil uncle, and his story of vengeance was immortalized for ages.

Kom Ombo Temple

is a golden marvel found upon the riverbank that stands as a worship center for Haroeris and Sobek. The Double Temple is found directly on the river bank, which has the power to provide an epic glimpse of the skill and creativity of the ancient Egyptian builders. Across the temples are many decorations that shed light on the medical practices and astronomical knowledge of the ancient Egyptians.

In the early morning, you will have your breakfast and then continue your Christmas adventure that brings a symphony of sights and wonders as Aswan unveils its treasures:

Aswan High Dam

is a modern marvel that was created between the '60s and '70s for the purpose of entering the industrial age. This majestic dam intertwines culture and prosperity, harnessing the Nile's power to nourish the land.

The Unfinished Obelisk

A masterwork of craftsmanship, the Unfinished Obelisk of Queen Hatshepsut (1508–1458 BC) was never finished because of uncontrollable forces. This incomplete work of art displays the skill of ancient craftspeople and the methods the builders employed to work with this kind of stone.

Philae Temple

is an epic sanctuary to Isis, the mother goddess, which was created in 280 BC by King Ptolemy II to keep her legend and sacrifice alive. Each stone tells a tale of myth and devotion, preserving the legacy of Osiris through intricate carvings.

As the sun sets on this Christmas voyage, you will return to your cruise to enjoy your lunch and dinner, then spend the night onboard.

In the early morning, you will have your breakfast and then check out your Nile Cruise in Aswan, thus ending your marvelous Christmas Nile cruise adventure.
