The Egypt Nile Cruise Tour experience commences with a pick-up from your hotel in Luxor, where a designated representative will transfer you to the 5-day Nile Cruise Tour from Luxor to Aswan. Upon arrival, the tour leader will provide you with the keys to your cabin, allowing you to settle in before enjoying your first lunch meal on board the MS Royal Viking Nile Cruise.
After a brief respite, you will meet your English-speaking Egyptologist guide in the lobby to begin your Luxor East Bank Tours. Luxor, situated approximately 700 kilometers south of Cairo, is a city with a population of nearly 500,000 inhabitants, primarily reliant on tourism and agriculture as its economic mainstays.
The first stop on the Luxor excursion will be the magnificent Karnak Temple, the largest temple in Egypt. This architectural marvel has been constructed and expanded over a period of 2,000 years, evolving from a simple shrine during the New Kingdom into a sprawling complex that covers a substantial area. Following the Karnak Temple visit, you will be transferred to the impressive Luxor Temple, which was discovered in 1884 and is located on the East Bank of the Nile in Luxor.
After the Luxor tours, you will retire for the night on the cruise boat, preparing to continue your program the next day. An optional activity during this day is the Sound and Light Show at the Karnak Temple.
